Furnished | 641 Sqft | AED 870,000 | AED 230,000 Below OP | Q4 2026 | Golf Community Living

A sharply priced distress entry into one of Dubai’s most established and lifestyle-rich golf communities — a furnished 1-bedroom plus study apartment in Golf Gate 2, DAMAC Hills, Dubai. Spanning 641 sqft with a separate study space, this unit is offered at AED 870,000 — AED 230,000 below the original purchase price of AED 1,100,000. When the original buyer’s DLD costs are included in the comparison, the total all-in financial advantage to the new buyer reaches approximately AED 239,200. The furnished condition — included in the price — means a buyer or tenant can take occupation from Q4 2026 handover with no additional expenditure on fit-out. For a buyer seeking the most competitive furnished entry into DAMAC Hills’ golf-facing apartment product, this listing is the benchmark.

The Full Financial Picture — AED 239,200 Total Saving

• Original Purchase Price (OP): AED 1,100,000
• DLD Paid by Original Buyer (4%): AED 44,000
• Original All-In Entry Cost: AED 1,144,000

The AED 230,000 saving represents approximately 21% off the original price — and the total all-in advantage versus what the original buyer paid exceeds AED 239,200. The furnished condition adds further hidden value: a comparable unfurnished unit at this price point would still require the buyer to invest in fit-out and furnishing before it could be occupied or rented — an additional cost the new buyer of this unit entirely avoids.

The Study — Why It Matters

The inclusion of a study in a 641 sqft apartment is a meaningful differentiator in DAMAC Hills’ Golf Gate 2 product range. A dedicated study space provides:

• A functional work-from-home environment — increasingly demanded by the professional tenant profile that DAMAC Hills attracts from DIFC, Downtown, and the corporate belt
• Flexibility as a second bedroom or guest room — expanding the unit’s rental appeal beyond a standard 1-bedroom profile to tenants who need an occasional guest space or dedicated work area
• A higher rental ceiling — 1-bedroom plus study units consistently achieve rental premiums of 10–15% above standard 1-bedroom equivalents in Dubai’s premium golf communities, where the corporate tenant base values dedicated workspace
• A broader buyer pool at resale — the study configuration is attractive to end-users as well as investors, supporting a wider buyer profile and stronger resale liquidity

About Golf Gate 2 – DAMAC Hills, Dubai

Golf Gate 2 is a premium residential apartment tower within DAMAC Hills — one of Dubai’s most established and fully-serviced golf lifestyle communities. DAMAC Hills is built around the Trump International Golf Club Dubai, an 18-hole championship course designed to international tournament standard, providing residents of Golf Gate 2 with a golf community address that carries genuine global brand recognition. The Golf Gate towers are among the most golf-adjacent apartment buildings in DAMAC Hills, positioned for direct views over and access to the golf course and the community’s green belt infrastructure. DAMAC Hills has matured into one of Dubai’s most complete lifestyle communities since its original launch — with the golf club, a range of community pools, retail and F&B, the DAMAC Mall, parks, sports courts, and extensive cycling and jogging infrastructure all operational and integrated into the masterplan.

Layout and Floor Plan

This 1-bedroom plus study apartment in Golf Gate 2 spans 641 sqft — a compact but intelligently planned layout that maximises usable space through the inclusion of a separate study zone. The 641 sqft delivers a living and dining area, a fully fitted kitchen, a master bedroom with en-suite or adjacent bathroom, and a dedicated study space — a configuration that punches above its footprint in terms of functional value and rental flexibility. The furnished condition means all spaces are already fitted out and ready for occupancy or rental from the Q4 2026 handover date. Detailed floor plans for this Golf Gate 2 unit are available on request.

Short-Term Rental Potential

DAMAC Hills is one of Dubai’s most active communities for holiday home and short-term rental — the Trump International Golf Club, the community pools (including a wave pool and lazy river), and the lifestyle infrastructure create strong leisure-driven demand from short-term visitors. Golf Gate 2, as one of the most golf-adjacent towers in the community, benefits from a specific short-term rental narrative tied to the golf experience — guests who book a stay at a golf course apartment in Dubai are a distinct and premium demand segment. The furnished condition of this unit means it can be listed on short-term platforms from the first day of handover — zero lead time, zero additional investment. Key investor considerations:

• Golf community apartments in DAMAC Hills consistently outperform standard Dubai suburban apartments on short-term rental platforms — the golf narrative drives premium positioning and booking conversion
• The study space functions as a second room in short-term rental scenarios, attracting small professional groups or working travellers who need separation between sleeping and working areas
• The furnished condition eliminates the lag between handover and first rental income — investors begin earning from Q4 2026
• DAMAC Hills’ established short-term rental operator ecosystem provides immediate property management infrastructure for non-resident owners
• Detailed short-term and long-term yield estimates for this specific unit are available on request

Payment and Handover

This is an off-plan distress resale at AED 870,000 — AED 230,000 below the original developer price of AED 1,100,000.

• Selling Price: AED 870,000
• Original Developer Price: AED 1,100,000
• Saving vs OP alone: AED 230,000 (20.9%)

Why This Distress Entry in Golf Gate 2 Stands Out

• AED 230,000 below original price — a 20.9% discount that represents one of the deepest percentage distress entries currently available on a Golf Gate 2 unit
• Total all-in saving of AED 239,200 versus the original buyer’s total entry cost including DLD
• Furnished — zero additional cost — the buyer inherits the furnishing package as part of the AED 870,000 price, eliminating AED 30,000–80,000+ in typical fit-out and furnishing expenditure for a unit of this size
• Study included — the dedicated study space creates a rental and resale premium versus standard 1-bedroom units in the same building
• Q4 2026 handover — a short runway to rental income or occupancy, with the furnished condition enabling immediate income from day one of handover
• Trump International Golf Club access — the defining lifestyle asset of DAMAC Hills and the primary driver of short-term rental demand from golf travellers
• AED 870,000 total price — the lowest point of entry for a furnished golf-community apartment with a study currently available in Golf Gate 2
• Freehold — open to all nationalities; UAE residency visa eligible at this investment level
