The dates are our estimate: we spread the construction share evenly between now and the keys. The developer's real dates follow the building work, so they can move.
Your payments go into the project's escrow account, which RERA watches, not straight to the developer.
A mortgage at the keys
Before you buy
Pay into the project's escrow account only.
This project's escrow account is at the bank named on the register above, watched by RERA. Pay into that account, never to a person.
Budget for the service charge.
Once the building is finished you pay a yearly service charge per sq ft, set from the building's budget and approved by RERA. Ask DAMAC Properties for the estimate.
Register the sale with Oqood.
The Land Department records off-plan sales in its Oqood register. Until your sale is on it, the home isn't in your name.

Rented between

There is no DLD service charge for this project or its area, so we leave out the service charge and the net yield.
Gross yield is a year's rent before costs, as a share of the price. At the from price: AED 200,000 ÷ AED 2,746,000 = 7.3%. The home earns nothing until the keys, and new buildings often rent for more than older ones.
Rents come from Ejari, Dubai's register of rent contracts: new residential contracts in the area, all buildings. A median is the middle one: half are lower, half higher.
Damac Islands 2 is a DAMAC Properties community of four- to six-bedroom villas and townhouses in Dubailand, from AED 2,746,000 with the listed handover in December 2028. Three quarters of the price is due before handover, and the developer plans island-themed leisure across the master community.

Outdoor fitness areas and calisthenics setups are listed too. Residents of the homes get a gym, a shared pool, a children's pool, a play area and covered parking, and the listing mentions water views. Ask which community facilities will be open at handover.
The plan is 20% on booking, 55% during construction and 25% at handover. At the from price that is AED 549,200 on booking, AED 1,510,300 during construction and AED 686,500 at handover, listed for December 2028. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 109,840; ask when it is due. Ask for the dated payment schedule for the 55% construction stage.
