What actually changes for a buyer
A genuinely low monthly entry
At AED 1,950 a month for a studio, the barrier to a branded waterfront address is closer to a rental payment than to a conventional off-plan commitment. Apartments and larger homes start from AED 3,150.
Three incentives stacked, not one
The 4% DLD waiver is a real cash saving that normally lands on the buyer at purchase. The 4% discount comes off the price on top of it, and the 50/50 structure defers half the balance to handover.
Communities you can walk today
Both masterplans have ready and near-ready homes, so this is not a plan bought off a render. You can see the lagoon, the promenade and the finish before you commit.

Your money, staged
An even split rather than a front-loaded one: half the price is spread across the construction and holding period, and the other half is deferred until handover. That structure is what brings the monthly figure down to AED 1,950.
Spread across the construction and holding period, which is what keeps the monthly figure as low as AED 1,950.
The balance falls due when the home is complete and ready for possession.

Inside the communities
What this means for you
DAMAC's current campaign puts a branded waterfront home within reach from AED 1,950 per month, the entry point for a studio, with apartments and larger homes starting from AED 3,150. It runs across two masterplans: DAMAC Lagoons and DAMAC Riverside. What makes the monthly figure achievable is not one discount but three incentives stacked together, applied to ready or near-ready stock rather than early-stage launches.
DAMAC Lagoons is a 45-million-square-foot Mediterranean-themed masterplan in Dubailand, built around crystal lagoons, white-sand beaches and a waterside clubhouse. Its themed clusters, including Portofino, Nice, Santorini and Costa Brava, are at various stages of delivery, with several now ready or near-ready and offering genuine lagoon access. That delivered status is the real draw: you are buying into an environment you can inspect, and in many cases move into.
DAMAC Riverside sits in Dubai Investments Park, organised around a river-inspired water feature with floating amenities and a retail promenade. It offers studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments alongside four- and five-bedroom townhouses, with Emirates Road connecting it to Expo City and Al Maktoum International Airport. Apartments start from AED 718,000, among the most affordably priced branded-waterfront units in the city.
The package suits three groups in particular: end-users who want a delivered, amenity-rich community rather than a construction site; investors targeting Dubai's waterfront rental demand, with Golden Visa eligibility on units above the AED 2 million threshold; and first-time buyers drawn by the low monthly entry into a branded address. As with any campaign, the individual home should stand on its own merits, location, view and handover timeline, as much as on the incentives attached to it.
Frequently asked questions
How is AED 1,950 a month possible on a Dubai property?+
It is the entry monthly figure for a studio under this campaign, and it works because of the 50/50 structure: only half the price is paid across the construction and holding period, with the remaining half deferred to handover. Apartments and larger homes start from AED 3,150 a month.
Which communities does the offer cover?+
DAMAC Lagoons in Dubailand and DAMAC Riverside in Dubai Investments Park. Both are waterfront masterplans with ready and near-ready homes, spanning studios and apartments through to townhouses and villas.
What does the 4% DLD waiver actually save me?+
The Dubai Land Department charges a 4% registration fee on the purchase, which normally falls on the buyer at the point of sale. Under this offer DAMAC covers it, so on an AED 718,000 apartment that is roughly AED 27,600 you do not pay.
Is the 4% discount on top of the DLD waiver?+
Yes. They are separate incentives and they stack: 4% comes off the price, and the 4% DLD registration fee is covered on top. The 50/50 payment plan then applies to the discounted price.
Do these homes qualify for the Golden Visa?+
Units priced above the AED 2 million threshold qualify under the current property-investor route. Plenty of the stock in this campaign sits below that figure, so confirm the price of your specific unit if the visa is part of your reason for buying.
What should I check before reserving?+
Confirm the exact 50/50 split, the milestone dates and any post-handover tail in writing, since advertised plans and the plan on the SPA can differ by unit and cluster. Check that your specific unit qualifies for both the waiver and the discount, factor in service charges of roughly AED 14 to 18 per square foot annually, and scan the DLD or Madmoun QR to verify the listing permit before paying anything.
