Official Account Details
Camelia at Damac Hills 2 Escrow Account at a Glance
Every dirham paid toward a Camelia townhouse was routed into one project trust account at Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank, supervised by the Dubai Land Department instead of sitting in the developer's working capital. The project is now recorded as Finished, so this account is no longer funding a build, but it stays the registered destination for anything still payable on a unit here. My read is that the completion stamp is precisely when buyers get careless about where money goes, which is why the number below is worth saving before you need it.

Where the Project Stands
Registration and Escrow Status
Camelia entered the Dubai Land Department register on 16 February 2023 as project 2548, under developer number 1021, and the trust account at Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank had to be in place for that registration to stand. Construction started thirteen days later, on 1 March 2023. That ordering is the whole point of the framework: no buyer money could be collected into an unprotected account first and regularised afterwards, which is the single sequencing failure behind most of the off-plan horror stories people arrive on this page carrying.

Verify Camelia at Damac Hills 2's Escrow Account Independently
Nothing on this page deserves your trust on its own, and neither does a payment request that arrives looking official. The escrow framework was built so that the person about to transfer money can confirm the destination from the public record, in about the time it takes to read the request itself:
Open Dubai REST
Open the Dubai REST app and choose Services, then Project Status.
Find the Project
Search project number 2548 or "Damac Hills (2) - Camelia".
Match the Details
Open the Escrow Account panel, then read the bank name and the digits back against your SPA and against this page before any transfer leaves your account.
I verify these details against Dubai REST before publishing and after each new inspection. If anything on this page ever differs from what you see in the app, trust the app and tell me.
Before You Transfer
- Match the account number on your payment instruction to the Escrow Account panel in Dubai REST.
- Match the same number to the escrow details in your Sales and Purchase Agreement.
- Confirm the amount and the construction milestone it corresponds to.
- If anything differs, even by one digit, stop and message me before sending.
Your Money, Step by Step
How Camelia at Damac Hills 2's Payment Plan Meets the Escrow Account
DAMAC sold Camelia on a 20/50/30 construction linked schedule, with the 4 percent Dubai Land Department registration fee due on top of the booking deposit. Each buyer's instalment dates live in their own Sales and Purchase Agreement, and reading that schedule alone tells you when money left your account but not what governed its release. The bank did not pay the developer by calendar. Money moved only as certified progress justified it, and the closing instalments in this plan were written against the 70, 80 and 90 percent completion marks by name.
Booking and SPA: 20%
The deposit entered the escrow account once the unit was registered under Oqood, with the 4 percent DLD fee settled separately at registration. For every existing Camelia buyer that stage closed long ago, under supervision from the first dirham.
Construction Instalments: 50%
Seven instalments of 5 percent fell at three month intervals from the sale date, and three more of 5 percent each were tied to the 70, 80 and 90 percent completion marks. Each tranche sat in the trust account until an inspector had certified the work standing behind it.
Completion: 30%
The closing 30 percent fell due on completion, which the record now fixes: the certificate was issued on 4 March 2025 and progress was certified at 100 percent on 30 October 2025. This is the only stage where a balance can still be outstanding today.
The retention held in escrow after completion pairs with an independent handover snagging inspection: it gives the developer a financial reason to fix what your inspection finds.
Delivery History
DAMAC's Escrow Track Record in DAMAC Hills 2
There is a version of this section that lists a developer's neighbouring phases with their handover months attached, and nothing in the material behind this page supports one, so I am not going to manufacture it. What Camelia does have is its own escrow cycle, documented end to end on the public record. For judging this account that is the stronger evidence anyway, because every date below belongs to this project number, this trust account and these inspections:
- Registered with the Dubai Land Department16 Feb 2023
- Construction started1 Mar 2023
- Building Completion Certificate issued by DDA4 Mar 2025
- Registered completion date on the DLD record30 Jun 2025
- RERA inspection certifying 100 percent30 Oct 2025
Read as a sequence, those five entries describe an escrow account that opened before a single dirham was collected, funded a build that never stalled long enough to break its inspection rhythm, and ran to certification with the progress status recorded as Completed. For scale rather than sequence, DAMAC's own project literature states approximately 42,000 homes delivered as of 30 June 2022; the portfolio behind that figure, and the master communities it sits across, are set out on the DAMAC developer profile.

A trust account protects money moving toward one specific asset, and how good that asset is settles the other half of the decision. My Camelia guide sets out what these payments actually bought: the townhouse itself, where the price lands per square foot, the amenity programme, and the community built around the cluster.

Prices from AED 1.70M (approx USD 463,000), three bedroom townhouses of roughly 1,924 to 2,010 sq ft, the layout in full, the community amenities, and the investment case for the 515 townhouse cluster this escrow account was opened to protect.

Camelia at Damac Hills 2 Escrow Account Frequently Asked Questions
Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank holds the project trust account for Camelia at DAMAC Hills 2, account number 1060*****20037 (shown in full in the Escrow Details section above), opened under DLD project number 2548 when the project was registered in February 2023.
Camelia was sold on a 20/50/30 construction linked plan, with the 4 percent Dubai Land Department registration fee payable on top of the booking deposit. The 20 percent deposit and the 50 percent of instalments during construction were paid into the escrow account, and the bank released those funds to the developer only against certified construction progress. The closing 30 percent fell due on completion.
The RERA independent progress monitoring report dated 30 October 2025 records current progress at 100 percent, against a previous reading of 94.48 percent, and marks the progress status Completed. The Building Completion Certificate was issued by the Dubai Development Authority on 4 March 2025, and the inspection record notes that electricity, gas and water meters are connected. Report by report, the certification history is set out on the Camelia construction updates page.
No. Payments toward a Camelia at DAMAC Hills 2 unit belong in the DLD-registered escrow account 1060*****20037 at Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (the full number sits in the Escrow Details section above), exactly as recorded in the Sales and Purchase Agreement. Instructions pointing funds at a personal account, an agent's account or a second company account follow the established shape of payment diversion fraud, and a discount offered for paying outside the trust account is the clearest single warning sign of it. The safe response is the same every time: confirm the destination against the escrow account registered in Dubai REST and against the Sales and Purchase Agreement before releasing anything.
The account remains a DLD-registered escrow account under Dubai Land Department supervision until its closure conditions are satisfied, rather than closing on the day a project is certified. A retention portion is held back in it after completion to cover defect rectification, and the account stays the registered destination for any balance still payable on a unit. While a project is registered, RERA takes control of the escrow account if that project is cancelled, which is why the registered account, and not a developer or agent account, is the only correct destination at every stage.
It depends on who is selling. A purchase of remaining developer stock at Camelia is still routed through the project's registered escrow account at Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank. A resale purchased from an individual owner is a completed property transaction between two private parties, settled through the Dubai Land Department transfer process with a registration trustee rather than through the project escrow account. Confirming which of the two applies before any funds move is the practical difference for a buyer at this stage.
Yes, Camelia at DAMAC Hills 2 is a freehold project, open to all nationalities.
The property route to the 10 year UAE Golden Visa requires real estate worth at least AED 2 million. Three bedroom townhouses at Camelia at DAMAC Hills 2 start from AED 1.70M (approx USD 463,000), which sits below that threshold, so an entry level purchase here does not meet it on its own. The threshold, the documentation and how eligibility is assessed are covered in the Camelia Golden Visa guide.
