4-Bedroom Single-Row Townhouse, DAMAC Riverside, Dubai Investment Park 2 — Best Price in Market

This is a super distress sub-sale on a 4-bedroom single-row townhouse in DAMAC Riverside — one of Dubai’s most distinctive nature-inspired waterfront communities, built by DAMAC Properties in Dubai Investment Park 2 (DIP 2). The seller’s total acquisition cost, inclusive of the developer’s original price and the 4% DLD fee paid at the time of purchase, was AED 2,800,000. The distress asking price is AED 2,400,000: a real, all-in saving of AED 400,000 (14.3%) — a documented AED 400,000 discount below what the seller paid. At AED 1,002/sqft on a BUA of 2,396 sq ft with a private garden on a 1,550 sq ft plot, in the single-row premium positioning within the cluster, this is the sharpest entry point currently available for a 4-bedroom DAMAC Riverside unit on the secondary market. The seller needs to exit and is willing to absorb the full 400K loss — the buyer captures it entirely at transfer.

About DAMAC Riverside and DAMAC Properties

DAMAC Riverside is a large-scale, nature-inspired master community of 1,900 exclusively townhouse residences in Dubai Investment Park 2, developed by DAMAC Properties — one of the UAE’s largest listed private developers, established in 2002 and responsible for DAMAC Hills, DAMAC Hills 2, DAMAC Lagoons, and multiple internationally branded residences across Dubai. DAMAC Riverside launched in May 2024 as DAMAC’s first community to be organised entirely around dual lifestyle “veins” — the Water Vein and the Green Vein — rather than the traditional amenity podium model. This distinction creates a genuinely immersive, nature-connected living environment that differentiates DAMAC Riverside from comparable townhouse communities at a similar price point in Dubai’s outer residential corridor.

The community is organised into three architecturally distinct themed clusters — Ivy, Lush, and Sage — with each cluster housing 4-bedroom mid townhouses, 4-bedroom end townhouses, and 5-bedroom townhouses in groups of no more than four units. The maximum cluster size of four units is a deliberate design choice that creates a low-density, semi-private environment for each grouping — significantly quieter and more intimate than the back-to-back rows found in many Dubai townhouse developments. There are no high-rise apartment towers within DAMAC Riverside, preserving a consistent low-rise character across the entire 1,900-unit community.

The Single-Row Advantage

Single-row units in DAMAC Riverside occupy positions on the outer perimeter of their cluster rather than being enclosed between adjacent units on both sides. This positioning delivers an open rear aspect — the private garden faces open community greenery, a park view, or a water feature rather than the rear wall of a neighbouring townhouse. The practical benefits: better natural light and ventilation in the living spaces that open to the garden; greater privacy for garden use and outdoor entertaining; and a material uplift in rental appeal and resale liquidity versus equivalent back-to-back mid-row units. In communities like DAMAC Riverside where the lifestyle proposition is built on nature immersion and open-space living, the single-row orientation is the configuration that most authentically delivers that promise. At AED 2,400,000 — already the deepest discount available in the community — this single-row unit offers a premium product at distress pricing.

Amenities

• Water Vein: Floating opera, floating cinema, aquatic fitness centre, essential oil lakes, splash climbing, Portofino Ristorante (waterfront dining), Island Restaurant, floating proposal deck
• Green Vein: Hydroponic farms, Zen spa and wellness centre, culinary classes, yoga and meditation zones, BBQ and picnic areas, outdoor gymnasium, children’s play areas and crafting stations
• Community swimming pools and leisure water features

• Private garden per townhouse
• Covered garage parking per unit
• 24-hour gated community security
• Maintenance services

Layout and Floor Plan

The 4-bedroom single-row townhouse spans 2,396 sq ft BUA on a 1,550 sq ft plot in a G+1 layout. The ground floor delivers an open-plan living and dining area flowing directly to the private garden, a fully fitted kitchen, a laundry room, and access to the covered garage. The first floor accommodates the four bedrooms, including a master suite. The single-row orientation means the garden opens to community green space rather than a rear-neighbour wall, delivering the open-aspect lifestyle that defines premium positioning within the cluster. A balcony extends from the first floor. Exact unit position within the Ivy, Lush, or Sage cluster, the specific row, and the detailed floor plan are available on request from DistressPropertyFinder.com.

Payment Plan — The 14% Discount Explained

• DAMAC 70/30 Payment Plan: 70% during construction (staged), 30% at Q2 2028 handover
• Original DAMAC Price (approx.): ~AED 2,692,308
• 4% DLD Paid by Seller at Purchase: ~AED 107,692
• Seller’s Total Documented Cost (OP + DLD): AED 2,800,000
• Distress Asking Price: AED 2,400,000
• Discount vs Seller’s All-In Cost: AED 400,000 (14.3%)
• New Buyer’s DLD (4%): AED 96,000
• Trustee / Conveyancing: ~AED 4,200
• Buyer Agency Fee (2%): AED 48,000
• Transfer-Stage All-In: ~AED 2,548,200
• Remaining DAMAC Instalments: Confirmed from seller’s SPA within 24 hours

The 14% discount is calculated against the seller’s total all-in cost of AED 2,800,000 — including both the developer’s original price (~AED 2,692,308) and the 4% DLD fee (~AED 107,692) the seller paid at purchase. This is the most transparent distress benchmark: the seller paid AED 2,800,000 to own this unit and is selling it for AED 2,400,000, absorbing a documented AED 400,000 loss purely to exit quickly. The buyer steps into the seller’s DAMAC SPA with the remaining 70/30 payment schedule. Exact amounts already paid and the remaining instalment schedule are confirmed within 24 hours from the seller’s DAMAC payment records.

Why This DAMAC Riverside 4BR at AED 2,400,000 Is the Best Price in Market

• AED 400,000 (14.3%) below the seller’s total documented cost: This is not a theoretical discount — the seller paid AED 2,800,000 (including DLD) and is exiting at AED 2,400,000. Every AED 400,000 of that gap is equity transferred to the buyer at the moment of DLD registration.
• Single-row premium at distress pricing: Single-row units command higher rents and faster tenancy fills in every townhouse community. At AED 2,400,000 — below the standard mid-row developer price — the buyer acquires the premium configuration at a below-standard-unit price.
• AED 1,002/sqft on a 2,396 sqft townhouse: This is one of the lowest price-per-sqft entry points available for a new Emirati-style townhouse in Dubai’s outer residential corridor. DAMAC’s original developer pricing for this unit type was ~AED 1,124/sqft.
• Al Maktoum Airport / Expo City growth corridor: DAMAC Riverside sits 20 minutes from Al Maktoum International Airport — which is being developed into the world’s largest airport — and 15 minutes from Expo City Dubai, the fastest-growing corporate hub in the UAE. Infrastructure investment in this corridor is the primary driver of the capital appreciation thesis for DIP property over the 2025–2030 period.
• 1,900 townhouses only — no apartment towers: Supply is permanently capped at 1,900 low-density townhouse units. No vertical expansion is possible within the community’s master plan. As the Al Maktoum corridor matures and corporate employment in Expo City and DIP grows, this structural supply constraint supports capital appreciation.
• 4BR Al Furjan 4.9% ROI benchmark; 7.1–8.3% projected at this price: Comparable 4-bedroom townhouses in the adjacent Al Furjan community achieve annual rents of AED 170,000+. At AED 2,400,000, this projects a gross yield of 7.1–8.3% — above the Al Furjan benchmark.
• DAMAC delivery track record — 46,000+ homes delivered: DAMAC has delivered 46,000+ residential units and has 33,000+ in active development. Q2 2028 is a realistic and confirmed handover schedule for this phase of DAMAC Riverside.
• Golden Visa eligible at AED 2,400,000: Purchase price exceeds the AED 2,000,000 threshold for the UAE 10-year Golden Visa.
