Marine 2 at DAMAC Riverside Views

Marine 2 at DAMAC Riverside Views is a residential apartment building by DAMAC Properties with 358 one and two bedroom apartments. It stands in DAMAC Riverside Views, the apartment district of the DAMAC Riverside community in Dubai Investment Park 2, and the Dubai Land Department records it as a project in its own right. The DLD project description is a ground-plus-three-podium-plus-14-floor residential building with a roof level, and handover is scheduled for Q2 2028.

Marine 2 is in DAMAC Riverside, DAMAC Properties' community in Dubai Investment Park 2, which DAMAC describes as having easy access to key roads and major highways and sitting close to Al Maktoum International Airport. DAMAC's DAMAC Riverside Views factsheet gives community drive times of about 12 minutes to the Expo 2020 site, 12 minutes to Al Maktoum International Airport, 14 minutes to DAMAC Mall, 16 minutes to Global Village and 19 minutes to Dubai Outlet Mall. These are community figures, not measurements taken from Marine 2 itself.

Marine 2 offers two apartment types. 1 Bedroom Apartments have a starting price of AED 1.08M ≈ USD 293K and a size of 798 sq ft (74 sq m). 2 Bedroom Apartments have a starting price of AED 1.68M ≈ USD 457K and a size of 1,331 sq ft (124 sq m). Units are available. DAMAC controls releases and pricing, so the price of a specific unit depends on the unit itself and on the price list in force on the booking date.

DAMAC's DAMAC Riverside Views materials describe the collection's one-bedroom residences with efficient layouts, light-filled living areas, a planned kitchen, a walk-in closet and an oversized terrace, and its two-bedroom residences with an additional en-suite bedroom with walk-in closet, a foyer entrance, separated kitchen and living spaces and an extended terrace. These are collection-level descriptions rather than Marine 2 specifications; the layout and specification of an individual unit are the ones set out in its SPA.

DAMAC groups the planned DAMAC Riverside amenities under three themes along a landscaped Green Vein and a waterfront 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 co-working space, gym, arcade and bowling, an amphitheatre, an adults' games zone and a kids' adventure land. The amenities are planned for the community and remain subject to final design and approvals.

Handover is scheduled for Q2 2028, and the Dubai Land Department record lists a completion date in Q2 2028 as well. At the inspection recorded on 16 July 2026 the building was in early-stage construction: the main contract was progressing, foundations and substructure were well advanced and the superstructure was at an early stage. Each new inspection is followed in the Marine 2 at DAMAC Riverside Views construction updates guide.

The DAMAC Riverside Views regular payment plan is 20/60/20: a 20% deposit on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, 60% in 40 instalments scheduled by months from booking (most of them 1% each, with four of 6%), and 20% on completion, an 80/20 split between payments made before completion and the payment due on completion. DAMAC publishes this as the regular payment plan for DAMAC Riverside Views; confirm the schedule that applies to a Marine 2 unit with DAMAC and in the SPA.

The main addition is the 4% DLD registration fee, paid at booking alongside the 20% deposit. It goes to the Dubai Land Department, not into the project's escrow account. On a 1 Bedroom Apartment at AED 1,080,000 the fee is AED 43,200 ≈ USD 12K, and on a 2 Bedroom Apartment at AED 1,680,000 it is AED 67,200 ≈ USD 18K. My advisory service adds nothing to this: the commission is paid by the developer.

An off-plan purchase at Marine 2 is first registered with the Dubai Land Department as an Oqood, the off-plan registration, and is converted to a title deed after completion. The ownership terms that apply to a unit are the ones set out in its SPA and shown on the DLD record, and buyers confirm them there before booking.

Not on its own at the listed prices. The property route to the 10 year UAE Golden Visa needs property worth at least AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, and neither apartment type reaches that threshold on its own: 1 Bedroom Apartments start at AED 1.08M ≈ USD 293K and 2 Bedroom Apartments at AED 1.68M ≈ USD 457K. The value that counts is the one recorded on the DLD title deed or Oqood. The Marine 2 at DAMAC Riverside Views Golden Visa guide explains the threshold and how it is assessed.

Off-plan payments for Marine 2 are made into the project's DLD-registered escrow account with First Abu Dhabi Bank and released to the developer against construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. The Marine 2 at DAMAC Riverside Views escrow account guide covers how the account works and how to verify it.

Yes. Reservation, SPA signing, payments and DLD registration can all be completed remotely, and I manage the purchase end to end with DAMAC on your behalf. Each stage of a remote purchase is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.
