Azure 1 at DAMAC Riverside Views by DAMAC

Azure 1 at DAMAC Riverside Views is a residential release by DAMAC Properties of 986 one and two bedroom apartments within the DAMAC Riverside Views collection, inside the DAMAC Riverside master community in Dubai Investment Park 2. Apartments start from AED 888K ≈ USD 242K, and handover is expected in Q1 2029.

Azure 1 is in DAMAC Riverside, in Dubai Investment Park 2. DAMAC's factsheet lists community drive times of about 12 minutes to Al Maktoum International Airport and to the Expo 2020 site, 14 minutes to DAMAC Mall, 16 minutes to Global Village and 19 minutes to Dubai Outlet Mall. These figures describe the community as a whole and are not timed from Azure 1 itself.

1 Bedroom Apartments start from AED 888K ≈ USD 242K, with sizes of 695 to 1,164 sq ft (65 to 108 sq m). 2 Bedroom Apartments start from AED 1.90M ≈ USD 517K, with sizes of 1,372 to 1,486 sq ft (127 to 138 sq m). Units are available, and DAMAC prices each apartment as it is released, so the figure for a specific unit depends on its type, size and position at the time of booking.

DAMAC's DAMAC Riverside Views materials describe the collection's one-bedroom residences with expansive, light-filled living areas, a kitchen planned for daily use and entertaining, a walk-in closet and an oversized terrace. Two-bedroom residences add an en-suite bedroom with a walk-in closet, a foyer entrance, separated kitchen and living spaces and an extended terrace. These descriptions cover the collection rather than Azure 1 specifically; the layout and specification that bind are the ones attached to your SPA.

DAMAC groups the planned community amenities into three themes, laid out along a landscaped Green Vein and a Water Vein. Food and well-being covers the Portofino restaurant, an island restaurant, a hydroponic farm, outdoor culinary classes, and BBQ and live cooking stations. Health and activity covers fitness by the water, a floating chess stage, calisthenics stations with an organic bar, a climbing wall that drops into water, a Zen spa and essential-oil lakes. Social and culture covers a floating opera stage, a floating cinema, peace rooms, a clubhouse with retail, co-working, a gym and arcade and bowling, an amphitheatre, an adults' games zone and a kids' adventure land. All of them are planned for the community as a whole and remain subject to final design and approvals.

Handover is expected in Q1 2029, and the contractual completion date is the one set out in your SPA. At the Dubai Land Department inspection recorded on 30 September 2026, Azure 1 was in early-stage construction at the enabling works stage, with piling in progress on site. Each new inspection is followed in the Azure 1 at DAMAC Riverside Views construction updates guide.

The DAMAC Riverside Views regular payment plan is an 80/20 structure: 20% on booking together with the 4% DLD registration fee, 60% in 40 instalments after booking, and 20% on completion, expected in Q1 2029. The instalments fall due by months counted from your booking date, most at 1% of the price and four at 6%, so they follow the calendar rather than construction stages. This is DAMAC's regular payment plan for DAMAC Riverside Views, issued for another release of the collection; confirm the Azure 1 schedule with DAMAC and in the SPA.

The main addition is the 4% DLD registration fee, due at booking alongside the 20% deposit: AED 35,520 ≈ USD 10K on a 1 Bedroom Apartment at AED 888K, and AED 76,000 ≈ USD 21K on a 2 Bedroom Apartment at AED 1.90M. The fee goes to the Dubai Land Department and is not paid into escrow. Any further charges that apply to your unit are listed in the SPA.

While Azure 1 is under construction, the purchase is recorded with the Dubai Land Department through Oqood, the register for off plan sales. Once the project is completed, that registration is converted into a title deed in the buyer's name. The ownership terms for your unit are those set out in the SPA and shown on the DLD record, so review them there before you sign.

Not at the listed prices. The property route to the 10 year UAE Golden Visa begins at AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, and neither the 1 Bedroom Apartment from AED 888K nor the 2 Bedroom Apartment from AED 1.90M reaches that threshold on its own. The value assessed is the one recorded on the Oqood or title deed, and eligibility is decided by ICP or GDRFA. The Azure 1 at DAMAC Riverside Views Golden Visa guide explains how the threshold is applied.

Azure 1 instalments are paid into the project's DLD-registered escrow account with Mashreq Bank and released to the developer in stages against construction progress, under a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. The 4% DLD registration fee is paid to the Dubai Land Department itself and is not held in escrow. The Azure 1 at DAMAC Riverside Views escrow account guide sets out how the account works.

Yes. Reservation, SPA signing, the booking payments and Oqood registration can all be handled remotely, and I manage each step with DAMAC on your behalf. Every stage of a remote purchase is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.
