Lush at DAMAC Riverside by DAMAC Properties

Lush at DAMAC Riverside is a townhouse project by DAMAC Properties inside DAMAC Riverside, the developer's master community in Dubai Investment Park 2. It comprises 744 residential units in two formats, 4 bedroom and 5 bedroom townhouses, with handover scheduled for Q4 2027.

Lush sits within DAMAC Riverside in Dubai Investment Park 2. DAMAC's brochure describes the community as having easy access to key roads and major highways and as close to Al Maktoum International Airport, which it puts at about 12 minutes away, with the Expo 2020 site (Expo City Dubai) at about 10 minutes. These are the developer's approximate community-level drive times, not figures measured from Lush itself.

4 Bedroom Townhouses start from AED 2.28M ≈ USD 619K for 2,297 to 2,420 sq ft (213 to 225 sq m). 5 Bedroom Townhouses start from AED 3.80M ≈ USD 1.03M for 3,407 sq ft (317 sq m). DAMAC sets the price of each unit, and it moves with layout, position and each new release.

Per the developer's floor plans, the 4 bedroom townhouse runs over two levels: the ground floor holds open living and dining opening to a rear garden, a kitchen, storage, a powder room, one bedroom and covered parking for two cars at the front, and the first floor holds three bedrooms, including a master bedroom with walk-in closet, two bathrooms and balconies. The 5 bedroom layout shown in the brochure is an end-of-row townhouse over three levels, with a side and rear garden, a ground-floor bedroom with bathroom, three first-floor bedrooms with walk-in closets and bathrooms, and a top floor with an extra bedroom and bathroom, a maid's room with bathroom and terraces. Layouts vary by unit.

The developer's brochure lists facilities for DAMAC Riverside as a whole, including Malibu Cove, a beach-style lagoon for swimming and sunbathing, a clubhouse with waterfront views, an amphitheatre and lawn, Kidz Adventure Land, a games zone, hydroponic farms with outdoor cooking classes, BBQ and live cooking stations, calisthenics stations, aquatic-themed fitness, a zen spa with peace rooms, an essential-oils lake, an island restaurant and a floating cinema. They are planned, subject to final design, and shared across the community rather than private to Lush.

Handover is scheduled for Q4 2027, and the registered completion date on the DLD record falls in Q4 2027 as well. The project is under construction; dated inspection readings and what they show are tracked in the Lush at DAMAC Riverside construction updates guide.

DAMAC's published payment plan is 20% as a down payment, 55% during construction as scheduled in the SPA, and 25% on handover, a 75/25 split between the construction period and completion. The plan carries DAMAC's sales launch label, so the instalment position for a purchase made today is set out in the reservation documents and the SPA for the specific unit.

Buyers pay the 4% DLD registration fee at purchase, alongside the 20% down payment. On the starting price of AED 2,280,000 the fee is AED 91,200 ≈ USD 25K. The fee is paid to the Dubai Land Department, not into the project escrow account. Any administration charges DAMAC applies are listed in its reservation documents and the SPA.

On price, both townhouse types meet the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property investment threshold for the 10 year UAE Golden Visa: 4 Bedroom Townhouses start from AED 2.28M and 5 Bedroom Townhouses from AED 3.80M. Approval rests with the UAE authorities under the rules in force on the application date. The Lush at DAMAC Riverside Golden Visa guide covers the off-plan route and the documents involved.

Ownership terms for Lush, including whether the title is freehold and open to all nationalities, are set out in the SPA and recorded on the unit's Dubai Land Department registration: the Oqood record during construction and the title deed after handover. Buyers confirm them there before paying the down payment.

Instalments are paid into the project's DLD-registered escrow account with Emirates NBD and released to DAMAC in line with construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. The Lush at DAMAC Riverside escrow account guide explains how the account works and how to check it.

Yes. Reservation, SPA signing, payments and DLD registration can all be completed without being in Dubai, and I manage the process with DAMAC on the buyer's behalf. Each stage of a remote purchase is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.
