DAMAC Properties Achieves Major Handover Milestone

In an impressive showcase of growth, DAMAC Properties, the leading private real estate developer in the UAE and across the Middle East, has officially handed over more than 50,000 homes, marking a pivotal moment in the region’s real estate landscape. As of September 2026, the company is not only celebrating this achievement but also eyeing the delivery of an additional 8,800 residential units within the year, aided by over USD 2.72 billion in construction contracts awarded during the first half of 2026.

Expansion Plans Unveiled

DAMAC’s ambitious plan includes a diverse portfolio consisting of projects like DAMAC Lagoons, DAMAC Hills, DAMAC Hills 2, along with the Chic Tower and Elegance Tower. Each of these developments is set to contribute significantly to the company’s overall delivery targets. According to Amira Sajwani, Managing Director of DAMAC Properties, the UAE's residential market is evolving, and their focus on execution at scale will continue to set them apart from competitors. The meticulous mobilization of partners alongside robust control of intricate construction programs has been emphasized as crucial for the upcoming months.

Record-High Delivery Rates

The handover of homes is accelerating in Dubai, where the completion of nearly 25,000 new residences in the first half of 2026 translates into a remarkable 36% increase when measured against the same timeframe last year. The research from Cushman & Wakefield confirms that over 13,200 units were delivered in just the second quarter of 2026, with expectations for around 32,000 additional units to be completed by the end of the year. This surge underscores not just the market's readiness for new housing, but also the pressing need for construction capacity and the capability to turn ambitious project pipelines into tangible homes.

Meeting Demands with Strategic Focus

To ensure the successful handover of over 55,000 units currently in the pipeline, DAMAC is committed to stringent project management. The company has adopted an approach that emphasizes disciplined management of all facets including procurement, quality assurance, contractor performance, and site productivity. This careful oversight is critical in anticipating potential risks and ensuring that delivery schedules are maintained, especially amidst the challenges posed by geopolitical pressures affecting global supply chains.

Among the standout projects, DAMAC Lagoons is at the forefront, projected to contribute approximately 6,300 homes to the 2026 delivery roster. In 2025, only about 513 homes were handed over from this project, marking a significant growth trajectory. The overall infrastructure and landscaping work at this lagoon community have surpassed 80% completion, featuring stunning water bodies that equal around 141 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

At DAMAC Hills, the completion rate has also reached remarkable levels with around 85% of the community finalized. This year alone, buyers can look forward to the completion of luxurious residences across projects like Cavalli Estates and Utopia. Additionally, over 1,500 villas within DAMAC Hills 2 are scheduled for handover this year, further expanding the company's offerings in high-end communities.

Commitment to Quality

DAMAC’s philosophy of quality and safety is evident in its ongoing assessments of projects, ensuring both contractor performance and construction quality meet predetermined benchmarks. Monthly evaluations, paired with on-site inspections, allow the company to uphold its high standards and quickly address any concerns that may arise during the development process. Homeowner Ahmad Marouf, a resident in DAMAC Lagoons, praised the management of the handover process, noting the satisfaction derived from both the home quality and the community vibe.

As DAMAC continues to maintain its growth momentum, its strategic focus on timely deliveries and quality project management will undoubtedly be the drivers of its success in Dubai’s competitive real estate market, promising home buyers not just houses, but vibrant communities where families can thrive.

This exceptional milestone of 50,000 homes reflects DAMAC's commitment to enriching the lives of its residents while contributing to the expansive growth of Dubai's real estate landscape. With projects in the pipeline, the company is set to enhance its legacy further through 2027 and beyond.
