About Bahamas Cluster – DAMAC Islands 2

DAMAC Islands 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to DAMAC Islands Phase 1 — which sold out entirely — and represents DAMAC Properties’ most ambitious island-lifestyle community to date. Spanning 20 million sq ft in Dubailand, the development is structured around eight uniquely themed island clusters, each inspired by a world-renowned tropical destination: Bahamas, Bermuda, Cuba, Tahiti, Barbados, Maui, Antigua, and Mauritius. The Bahamas cluster draws its identity from the Caribbean’s most iconic island archipelago — bringing tropical architecture, lush palms, waterway-adjacent pathways, and sun-soaked outdoor living into a Dubai residential setting. The masterplan is built around five core pillars: Nature, Wellness, Adventure, Community, and Culture. With 45+ integrated amenities distributed across the islands — rather than centralised in a single hub — every resident lives within walking distance of parks, lagoons, wellness zones, and recreational facilities. DAMAC Properties — founded in 2002 by Hussain Sajwani, with over 49,000 delivered homes — provides the development track record and financial capability underpinning the Q1–Q2 2030 handover target.

Community and Lifestyle

• DAMAC Islands Phase 1 sold out at developer level — Phase 2 is the only available entry point into this master community, making early secondary market positions at below-OP pricing the best available entry
• 20 million sq ft masterplan with island-themed clusters, tropical landscaping, lagoons, and a nature-integrated outdoor living environment unlike any other Dubailand community
• Four-bedroom townhouses in the Bahamas cluster offer direct beach access and partial golf views — designed with a practical family layout that maximises space, light, and indoor-outdoor connectivity
• Situated between Sheikh Zayed Road, Emirates Road, and Dubai South — one of Dubai’s most strategically connected Dubailand corridors for families and professionals
• Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) approximately 25 minutes — the planned world’s largest airport at 260 million passengers, a structural long-term demand driver for Dubailand residential
• Expo City Dubai approximately 25 minutes; Motor City and Dubai Sports City approximately 15 minutes; Downtown Dubai approximately 30 minutes
• Projected rental yields of 7–9% post-handover; projected capital appreciation of up to 40% by 2030, based on comparable DAMAC Dubailand community delivery trajectories
• Golden Visa eligible: all DAMAC Islands 2 units above AED 2M qualify the buyer for the UAE 10-year Golden Visa — this distress unit at AED 2,650,000 qualifies

Layout and Floor Plan

DAMAC Islands 2 4-bedroom townhouses range from 2,186 to 2,416 sq ft BUA on plots of 1,552 to 2,583 sq ft. This distress unit has a BUA of 2,210 sq ft on a 1,553 sq ft plot — at the standard entry end of the 4-bedroom size range. The G+1 layout distributes across ground floor (open-plan living and dining area with seamless indoor-outdoor connection to the private garden and balcony, a fully fitted kitchen with Calacatta Gold porcelain surfaces and walnut veneer cabinetry, one bedroom, a bathroom, a laundry/utility room, and parking access) and first floor (three bedrooms including the master suite with en-suite bathroom, additional bathroom, and storage). Cross-ventilated layouts are a design standard across DAMAC Islands 2, ensuring natural airflow and light penetration on both floors. Calacatta Gold porcelain accents and walnut veneer finishes are applied throughout as the development’s signature material palette — a specification significantly above what comparable Dubailand townhouse communities deliver at this price point. The detailed floor plan for this Bahamas cluster unit is available on request quoting reference DAMAC-ISL2-BAH-4BR-2210-001.

Payment and Handover

DAMAC Islands 2 was launched with a 75/25 payment plan: 20% down payment on booking, 55% during construction in staged installments, and 25% on handover (Q1–Q2 2030). This is an off-plan SPA assignment. The buyer assumes the seller’s outstanding payment obligations per the original DAMAC schedule. On assignment: DLD Oqood transfer fee 4% applies on the distress price — approximately AED 106,000 on AED 2,650,000. A trustee fee of approximately AED 4,200 also applies. Buyer agency fee is typically 2% (~AED 53,000). Total on-assignment costs: approximately AED 2,813,200 all-in (before remaining construction installments). The 25% handover balance due at Q1–Q2 2030 can be financed by UAE bank mortgage, including for non-resident buyers — enabling investors to generate rental income from day one of delivery to offset mortgage repayments. The full paid-versus-outstanding installment breakdown and original DAMAC SPA are available on request.

Why Invest in DAMAC Islands 2, Bahamas Cluster

• 7.2% below OP+DLD — AED 205,840 saving: The seller is exiting at AED 205,840 below their total acquisition cost including DLD. At AED 2,650,000, the buyer enters below what the seller paid in full — before the community reaches handover and before projected capital appreciation materialises
• Second price reduction — further AED 80,000 cut: The seller has moved from AED 2,730,000 to AED 2,650,000 — a demonstrated pattern of motivated exit. This is a seller who needs to transact, not one testing the market
• DAMAC Phase 1 sold out — Phase 2 is the only entry: DAMAC Islands Phase 1 was entirely absorbed at developer level. All Phase 1 units are now secondary market only, and have appreciated substantially since launch. Phase 2 is the active developer release — acquiring a Phase 2 unit below OP+DLD replicates the Phase 1 entry advantage that drove that appreciation
• 40% capital appreciation projected by 2030: Based on comparable DAMAC Dubailand community delivery trajectories (DAMAC Hills, DAMAC Lagoons, DAMAC Hills 2), capital growth of 30–40% from launch to handover is a documented pattern. At AED 2,650,000 entry, a conservative 25% appreciation by 2030 would imply a value of ~AED 3,312,500 — a gain of AED 662,500
• 7–9% projected ROI post-handover: Dubailand villa communities consistently achieve gross yields of 7–9% for 4-bedroom family townhouses, driven by family demand from schools, JAFZA, DWC, and Expo City employment bases in the broader corridor
• Walnut veneer + Calacatta Gold specification: The material palette for DAMAC Islands 2 is genuinely premium for the Dubailand entry price point — natural luxury finishes that support rental and resale price premiums versus standard Dubailand townhouse stock
• 25% mortgageable at handover: The 25% balance due at Q1–Q2 2030 can be financed by UAE bank mortgage, allowing investors to leverage and offset repayments through rental income from day one of delivery
• Al Maktoum Airport mega-catalyst: DWC — 25 minutes from DAMAC Islands 2 — is expanding to 260 million passengers, creating a multi-decade residential demand driver for the Dubailand-Dubai South corridor that few other Dubai villa communities can access
• Golden Visa eligible: At AED 2,650,000 — above the AED 2M threshold — the buyer qualifies for the UAE 10-year Golden Visa
