Sage at DAMAC Riverside by DAMAC Properties

Sage at DAMAC Riverside is a townhouse cluster by DAMAC Properties within DAMAC Riverside, a master community in Dubai Investment Park 2. It comprises 550 townhouses in two types, 4 bedroom middle units and 5 bedroom end units, with handover expected in Q4 2027.

Sage is located in DAMAC Riverside, Dubai Investment Park 2. DAMAC's DAMAC Riverside brochure gives drive times from the community as a whole: about 10 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 the Sage cluster itself.

4 Bedroom Townhouses start from AED 2.20M ≈ USD 599K, with sizes of 2,297 to 2,420 sq ft (213 to 225 sq m). 5 Bedroom Townhouses start from AED 4.34M ≈ USD 1.18M, at 3,407 sq ft (317 sq m). Prices are set by DAMAC Properties and can be revised between releases.

Per DAMAC's floor plans, the 4 bedroom townhouse is a middle unit on two levels. The ground floor holds an open living and dining area opening to a rear garden, the kitchen, storage, a powder room, an entrance foyer, one bedroom and a two-car parking space at the front; the first floor holds the master bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe, two further bedrooms, two bathrooms and balconies. The 5 bedroom townhouse is an end unit on three levels, with a garden that wraps the side of the plot, a ground floor bedroom with its own bathroom and two-car parking, three bedrooms with walk-in wardrobes and balconies on the first floor, and an extra bedroom with bathroom, a maid's room with its own bathroom and terraces on the second floor.

DAMAC's DAMAC Riverside brochure lists a clubhouse, Malibu Cove (a beach for swimming, sunbathing and relaxation in the heart of the community), an amphitheatre and lawn, Kidz Adventure Land, hydroponic farms, a games zone, calisthenic stations, BBQ and culinary classes, an essential oils lake, a Portofino-inspired Italian restaurant, a floating opera stage and a floating proposal deck. It also describes a Zen spa, peace rooms, an island restaurant, floating sports, splash climbing and a floating cinema. These are planned community-level amenities, subject to final design and approvals.

Handover is expected in Q4 2027, and the DLD record lists a completion date in Q4 2027 as well. The project is in early-stage construction with the main contract progressing, and its progress against the Dubai Land Department register is tracked in the Sage at DAMAC Riverside construction updates guide.

The developer payment plan is 20% on booking, 55% in 24 instalments during construction and 25% on handover, a 75/25 structure. The 4% DLD registration fee is paid at booking alongside the down payment; it goes to the Dubai Land Department, not into the project escrow account. The exact schedule that applies to each unit is set out in the SPA.

The project documents supplied for Sage do not state the tenure, so buyers confirm the ownership terms in the SPA and on the Dubai Land Department record before signing. Off plan purchases in Dubai are registered with the DLD on the interim Oqood register, and the title deed is issued after completion.

Both townhouse types are listed above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property investment threshold for the 10 year UAE Golden Visa: the 4 bedroom from AED 2.20M and the 5 bedroom from AED 4.34M. Eligibility is assessed on the value recorded on the DLD title deed or Oqood, so a negotiated price below AED 2M would not qualify on its own. The dedicated Sage at DAMAC Riverside Golden Visa guide covers the eligibility steps in detail.

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

Yes. The full process, from reservation to SPA signing and Oqood registration, can be completed remotely, and I manage it end to end with the developer on your behalf. Each stage of the remote purchase is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.

DAMAC Properties controls which townhouses are released and at what price, and availability is currently limited. Prices and remaining stock can change from one release to the next, so the unit, price and payment schedule are only fixed once a reservation is confirmed and the SPA is issued.
