Overview

A single DAMAC apartment tower on Sheikh Zayed Road at the edge of Safa Park. In November 2026 DAMAC quoted one-bedroom apartments from AED 2,149,000, with handover in Q4 2029.

Safa Gate is a residential tower by DAMAC on Sheikh Zayed Road, at the edge of Safa Park and a few minutes from City Walk and Box Park. DAMAC's records give a sales launch in March 2025, and Property Finder records construction starting in February 2025. Property Finder files the tower under Al Wasl, so expect that community name to appear on some documents.

On 13 November 2026 DAMAC's site showed three apartment types. One-bedroom apartments were quoted from AED 2,149,000, up to 984 sq ft, and two-bedroom apartments from AED 2,996,000, up to 1,773 sq ft. For both, DAMAC was taking paid expressions of interest rather than full reservations, so no individual units, payment schedule or minimum sizes were published. A single three-bedroom apartment was listed from AED 15,999,000, up to 3,145 sq ft. These are the units on offer in November 2026, not the full range in the building. DAMAC's own FAQ describes the tower as one and two-bedroom apartments, and its project list also mentions five-bedroom homes, which were not offered online.

DAMAC did not publish a payment plan for Safa Gate in November 2026. Property Finder shows a 20/60/20 plan, with 20% on booking, 60% during construction and 20% on handover, and a launch price of AED 2,062,000. Treat that as a guide only and ask DAMAC for the written schedule that applies when an expression of interest converts into a reservation. Both sources give handover in the fourth quarter of 2029, and Property Finder narrows it to October 2029.

The amenity plan is built around wellness and leisure: a colour-changing pool, a spa with hydrotherapy pools, a gym, an open-air gym on level 6, a plunge pool, a quieter retreat pool and a small theatre. DAMAC puts City Walk and Box Park five minutes away, The Dubai Mall and Oasis Mall ten minutes, Mall of the Emirates 15 minutes and Dubai International Airport 14 minutes.

Who it suits: buyers who want a central address beside Safa Park with a long build period to spread payments, and who are comfortable committing at the expression of interest stage. What to weigh: prices per square foot are high for the corridor, the three-bedroom price is far above the smaller units, there is no published plan from DAMAC yet, and the tower competes with several other DAMAC launches on the same stretch of road.

Buying costs

Government fees are paid on top of the purchase price. This is the position for the entry-level home; costs scale with price. In Dubai the registration authority is the DLD.

Purchase priceEntry 1-bedroom apartment at Safa GateAED 2,149,000

DLD transfer fee (4%)Paid to the Dubai Land Department on registration. The department lists it as 2% from each party, but contracts almost always pass the full 4% to the buyer, so a developer's '50% DLD waiver' means the developer is paying its own listed half. Off-plan, it is paid when the sale is registered in the Oqood system.AED 85,960

Oqood registration admin feeOqood portal fee of AED 1,000 plus knowledge and innovation fees, for registering the off-plan sale contract.AED 1,020

Estimated total to completeAED 2,235,980about £458K

Developers may add their own administration charge on off-plan sales. It is set by the developer, not the land department, so it is not included in this estimate: ask for it in writing before you reserve. Adjust the assumptions in the buying cost calculator.
