About 11,000 homes are complete, with further clusters still handing over. Facts last verified 13 November 2026 against the sources listed at the end. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Emirate | [Dubai](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai) | | Area type | master community | | Tenure | Freehold for all nationalities | | Master developer | [DAMAC Properties](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/damac) | | Also known as | AKOYA Oxygen, Akoya Oxygen, Damac Hills II, DH2 | | Developments covered | 3 | ## Overview DAMAC Hills 2 is a master community by [DAMAC](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/damac) off Al Qudra Road (D63) in the outer part of Dubailand, between Jebel Ali Lehbab Road (E77) and the Al Ain Dubai Highway (E66). DAMAC announced it in 2014 under the name AKOYA Oxygen, and it is far larger than the original [DAMAC Hills](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/damac-hills): Bayut and Khaleej Times both give its size as 55 million sq ft. Bayut counts more than 14,000 villas and townhouses and over 2,100 apartments in the plan. In September 2026 DAMAC told Khaleej Times that around 11,000 homes were complete and that more than 1,500 villas were expected to be handed over during 2026. The community is organised into themed zones (Water Town, Sports Town, Down Town, Motor Town and Equestrian Town), with clusters such as Amazonia, Just Cavalli Villas, Camelia, Natura, Violet and Park Greens, and apartment buildings including ELO and Evergreens. Bayut lists a Carrefour Market, a Saudi German Clinic and Cherry Tree Nursery inside the community, and leisure features including Malibu Beach, a wave pool, an equestrian park and a floating cinema. GEMS Metropole School and South View School, both British curriculum, are nearby rather than inside the community. The trade-off is distance. Bayut puts Al Maktoum International Airport about 30 minutes away and Dubai Silicon Oasis about 35 minutes. Prices reflect that: Bayut showed homes listed from about AED 375,000 when checked in November 2026, and townhouse clusters such as Natura and Violet launched at under AED 2 million. For a completed DAMAC golf community closer in, the comparison is DAMAC Hills; for lagoon-style off-plan stock, it is [DAMAC Lagoons](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/damac-lagoons). ## Who it suits - Buyers who want a three- to six-bedroom house at a lower entry price than inner Dubai - Families happy to drive for work and school in exchange for space - Investors seeking entry-level villa and townhouse rentals ## Highlights - A 55 million sq ft master community with about 11,000 completed homes, according to DAMAC in September 2026 - Homes listed from about AED 375,000 on Bayut when checked in November 2026 - Supermarket, clinic and nursery inside the community, plus a wave pool, equestrian park and other leisure facilities - Between Jebel Ali Lehbab Road (E77) and the Al Ain Dubai Highway (E66), about 30 minutes from Al Maktoum International Airport on Bayut's estimate - An active resale market: Bayut recorded 1,191 sales over the previous 12 months when checked in November 2026 ## Considerations - A long drive from the coast and the main business districts; Bayut puts Dubai Silicon Oasis about 35 minutes away - The schools Bayut names, GEMS Metropole and South View, are outside the community - Supply is large: more than 1,500 villas were due for handover in 2026 alone on DAMAC's figures, which can hold back rents and resale prices - Bayut's community page showed average asking prices down about 7% over six months, while average transaction prices were up about 5% over twelve months, when checked in November 2026 - Handover dates on the portals are inconsistent for some clusters (Bayut shows two different dates for The Farmhouses); confirm the current schedule with DAMAC - The AKOYA names are still used on some listings, and Bayut's guide labels this community with AKOYA by DAMAC, the original DAMAC Hills name; check which community a listing is in ## Drive times - Trump International Golf Club Dubai: about 15 minutes - Dubai Outlet Mall: about 20 minutes - Al Maktoum International Airport: about 30 minutes - Dubai Silicon Oasis: about 35 minutes ## Developments in DAMAC Hills 2 - [ELO](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/damac-hills-2/elo): DAMAC Properties; DAMAC Hills 2, Dubai; under construction; handover Q3 2028; from AED 1,397,000 (as of 2026-11-13) - [ELO 2](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/damac-hills-2/elo-2): DAMAC Properties; DAMAC Hills 2, Dubai; under construction; handover Q4 2028; from AED 1,374,000 (as of 2026-11-13) - [ELO 3](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/damac-hills-2/elo-3): DAMAC Properties; DAMAC Hills 2, Dubai; under construction; handover Q4 2028; from AED 1,372,000 (as of 2026-11-13) ## Nearby areas - [DAMAC Hills](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/damac-hills) - [DAMAC Lagoons](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/damac-lagoons) - [DAMAC Islands](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/damac-islands) - [Dubailand](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubailand) - [Villanova](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/villanova) - [Sobha Sanctuary](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/sobha-sanctuary) - [The Valley by Emaar](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/the-valley) - [Dubailand Residence Complex](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubailand-residence-complex) ## Questions and answers ### Is DAMAC Hills 2 the same as AKOYA Oxygen?
