Royal 2 DAMAC Riverside Views by DAMAC

Royal 2 DAMAC Riverside Views is an apartment building by DAMAC Properties within DAMAC Riverside Views, the apartment collection of the DAMAC Riverside master community in Dubai Investment Park 2. It holds 332 residences across 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom apartments, and the Dubai Land Department's IPMR describes it as a ground-plus-three-podium-plus-fourteen-floor residential building. Handover is expected in Q1 2029.

The building sits in DAMAC Riverside, Dubai Investment Park, on the city's south-west side near Al Maktoum International Airport. DAMAC's DAMAC Riverside Views factsheet gives community-level drive times of about 12 minutes to the Expo 2020 site and to Al Maktoum International Airport, 14 minutes to DAMAC Mall, 16 minutes to Global Village and 19 minutes to Dubai Outlet Mall. These are developer figures for the community as a whole, not measured from Royal 2, and real times depend on traffic and route.

Two apartment types are offered. 1 Bedroom Apartments start from AED 1.18M ≈ USD 320K with sizes of 707 to 1,049 sq ft (66 to 97 sq m). 2 Bedroom Apartments start from AED 1.81M ≈ USD 492K with sizes of 1,098 to 1,482 sq ft (102 to 138 sq m). Per the DLD register's building details, the 332 residences split into 222 one-bedroom and 110 two-bedroom apartments. Units are available; DAMAC controls releases and revises its price list over time, so the starting prices apply to the units on the current list.

DAMAC's DAMAC Riverside Views materials describe the features at collection level rather than for Royal 2 specifically. One-bedroom residences are presented with efficient layouts, light-filled living areas, a planned kitchen, a walk-in closet and an oversized terrace. Two-bedroom residences add an en-suite bedroom with its own walk-in closet, a foyer entrance, a kitchen separated from the living space and an extended terrace. Final specifications are those set out in the SPA.

DAMAC plans the DAMAC Riverside Views amenities around three themes, Food and Well-being, Health and Activity, and Social and Culture, laid out along a green corridor and a water corridor. The listed items include the Portofino restaurant, an island restaurant, outdoor culinary classes, BBQ and live cooking stations, a hydroponic farm, fitness by the water, a floating chess stage, calisthenics stations with an organic bar, a climbing wall that drops into water, a Zen spa, essential-oil lakes, a floating opera stage, a floating cinema, peace rooms, a clubhouse with retail, co-working, a gym, an outdoor cinema, arcade and bowling, an amphitheatre, an adults' games zone and a kids' adventure land. They are planned community amenities, subject to final design and approvals.

Handover is expected in Q1 2029; the contractual completion date is the one set out in the SPA. At the Dubai Land Department inspection recorded on 30 September 2026 the building was in early-stage construction, with the main contract progressing. Each new inspection is logged in the Royal 2 DAMAC Riverside Views construction updates.

The DAMAC Riverside Views regular payment plan is an 80/20 structure: 20% plus the 4% DLD registration fee on booking, 60% across 40 instalments scheduled by months from booking (most of them 1% each, four of them 6%), and the final 20% on completion. The schedule is time-linked, so instalments fall due by date rather than by construction milestone. This is DAMAC's regular payment plan for DAMAC Riverside Views, issued for a later release of the collection; confirm the Royal 2 schedule with DAMAC and in the SPA.

The main addition is the 4% DLD registration fee, paid at booking alongside the 20% deposit. It is paid to the Dubai Land Department, not into the project's escrow account, and it is not part of the purchase price. At the listed starting prices it comes to AED 47,200 ≈ USD 13K on a 1 bedroom apartment and AED 72,400 ≈ USD 20K on a 2 bedroom apartment. Any further administrative charges are itemised in the SPA and at registration.

DAMAC's DAMAC Riverside Views documents do not state the tenure, so the ownership terms to rely on are those in the SPA and on the Dubai Land Department record for the unit. During construction an off-plan purchase is registered on the DLD's Oqood register; after completion and final payment the buyer receives a title deed.

Neither apartment type reaches the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property threshold on its own at the listed prices: the 1 bedroom starts at AED 1.18M and the 2 bedroom at AED 1.81M. The value that counts is the one recorded on the DLD title deed or the Oqood registration. How the threshold and its valuation rules work is explained in the Royal 2 DAMAC Riverside Views Golden Visa guide.

Off-plan payments go into the project's DLD-registered escrow account, held as a trust account with Mashreq Bank, and are released to the developer in stages tied to construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. How the account works for this building is set out in the Royal 2 DAMAC Riverside Views escrow account guide.

Yes. Reservation, the booking deposit, SPA signing and Oqood registration can all be completed without travelling to Dubai, and I manage the remote purchase end to end with DAMAC on the buyer's behalf. Each stage is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.
