DAMAC listed one- and two-bedroom homes from AED 2,457,000 in November 2026, with handover dates of Q4 2029 and Q2 2030. Facts last verified 13 November 2026 against the sources listed at the end. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Developer | [DAMAC Properties](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/damac) | | Location | [Dubai Maritime City](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-maritime-city), Dubai | | Status | under construction | | Developer's handover target | Q2 2030 | | Sales launched | 2025-05 | | Tenure | freehold | | Price | From AED 2,457,000 to AED 5,228,000 (published figure, 13 November 2026) | | Average price per sq ft | AED 3,123 | | Home types | 1-bedroom apartments, 2-bedroom apartments | | Brand | Chelsea FC | | Golden Visa value test | Some homes are priced at or above AED 2,000,000 | ## Overview Chelsea Residences is the project [DAMAC](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/damac) has built around a partnership with Chelsea Football Club, on the reclaimed peninsula of [Dubai Maritime City](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-maritime-city) beside Port Rashid. DAMAC describes it as the first residential scheme branded by a football club, and its project page refers to more than 1,400 homes facing the sea. The club's name shows mainly in the shared facilities: a beach with blue sand, a rooftop football pitch, football simulators and an athlete training gym, alongside a spa, a wellness centre and a children's play area. DAMAC opened sales in May 2025, and Property Finder records construction starting in July 2025. On 13 November 2026 DAMAC's own site listed 10 one-bedroom apartments of 772 to 1,001 sq ft, priced from AED 2,457,000 to AED 3,099,000, and 10 two-bedroom apartments of 1,575 to 1,659 sq ft, priced from AED 4,825,000 to AED 5,228,000. These are the units on offer in November 2026, not the full range in the towers. DAMAC's FAQ also mentions three-bedroom apartments, but none was offered online on that date. The starting figure on DAMAC's project page matches the cheapest listed unit. DAMAC's published plan for both unit types (PP-633763, May 2026) asks for 9% immediately, 55% across 34 instalments in the 35 months after purchase, and 40% on completion. Those payments add up to 104% of the price because the immediate payment includes the 4% DLD registration fee, so on the price itself the plan is 5/55/40. The same plan code covers Chelsea Residences 2, which Property Finder lists as a separate project. DAMAC's unit cards give handover as the second quarter of 2030 for one-bedroom homes and the fourth quarter of 2029 for two-bedroom homes, so the later date is shown here. Property Finder gives the fourth quarter of 2029. The sources disagree on availability. Property Finder showed developer stock as sold out on 13 November 2026, with 19 resale listings, while DAMAC's own site still listed 20 units. Property Finder also shows a 20/40/40 plan and a launch price of AED 2.3 million, which look like the original launch terms. Ask which building, floor and plan apply to any unit you are offered. Who it suits: buyers who want a sea-facing apartment close to the older city, and who value the Chelsea facilities for their own use or as a point of difference when letting. What to weigh: the cheapest listed units work out at roughly AED 3,060 to 3,180 per sq ft, a high level for a district where most towers are still being built and are due between 2026 and 2030. DAMAC puts Dubai International Airport about 20 minutes away and Mall of the Emirates about 25 minutes by car. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1-bedroom apartments | AED 2,457,000 | AED 3,099,000 | 772 to 1,001 sq ft | | available | | 2-bedroom apartments | AED 4,825,000 | AED 5,228,000 | 1,575 to 1,659 sq ft | | available | Prices are published starting prices from the developer or Property Finder, as each type's note says, checked 13 November 2026. ## Payment plans ### 5/55/40 - Booking deposit: 5% (On booking) - During construction: 55% (34 instalments from month 1 to month 35 after purchase) - On completion: 40% (Q2 2030) Paid before handover: 60%.

DAMAC's schedule shows 9% due immediately; the instalments total 104% of the price, so this includes the 4% DLD registration fee. ## What works - A recognisable football brand, with facilities designed around it that set the towers apart from other launches in Dubai Maritime City. - A sea-facing site on the Dubai Maritime City peninsula, about 20 minutes by car from Dubai International Airport on DAMAC's figures. - 40% of the price is due on completion, so a large share is paid only once the building is finished. - DAMAC published unit-by-unit prices and sizes for 20 apartments on its own site in November 2026. ## What to weigh - Handover is Q2 2030 for one-bedroom and Q4 2029 for two-bedroom homes on DAMAC's cards, and Q4 2029 on Property Finder. Confirm the date in the sale agreement. - The cheapest listed units work out at roughly AED 3,060 to 3,180 per sq ft, high for a district that is still largely under construction. - Property Finder showed developer stock as sold out on 13 November 2026, while DAMAC's site still listed 20 units. - What the Chelsea brand supplies after handover, and what it adds to the service charge, is not published. - Many towers in Dubai Maritime City are due between 2026 and 2030, and a wave of completions could weigh on rents for a time. ## Location On the Dubai Maritime City peninsula beside Port Rashid.
