Sun City by DAMAC was launched in October 2024 as the fifth master community of DAMAC Properties, a few months after the launch of DAMAC Riverside in May 2024. 2 years later, work on site is moving ahead.
In August 2026, DAMAC announced that the project had reached 2 million safe manhours. Ali Sajwani, Managing Director of DAMAC Properties, described the milestone as a sign of the safety culture on its projects and confirmed that construction is progressing towards a finished community.
For buyers, this is useful proof that Damac Sun City is an active building site rather than a plan on paper. The development is registered under the Al Yelayiss 1 area, and the remaining instalments follow the construction period up to handover.
DAMAC Properties was founded in 2002 by Hussain Sajwani and has delivered more than 50,000 homes. It also has over 54,000 units under construction, and in 2026 it plans to hand over 8,800 homes across Dubai in communities such as DAMAC Hills, DAMAC Hills 2 and DAMAC Lagoons.
Demand for DAMAC projects remains strong. In the first half of 2026, the developer recorded AED 15.6 billion in off plan sales, the highest in the off plan residential market of Dubai, and awarded more than AED 10 billion in construction contracts over the same period. For Sun City buyers, these figures show a developer with the scale to deliver large communities.
The Damac Sun City payment plan follows a 75/25 structure with small monthly instalments, broken up by 4 larger payments. The table below shows every instalment, when it is due after booking and how much of the price is paid at each stage, using the starting price as an example.
| Instalment | When it is due | Share | Total paid | Amount (AED) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Down payment | On booking date | 20% | 20% | 450,000 |
| 1st to 5th | Within 7 months, 1% monthly | 5% | 25% | 112,500 |
| 6th | Within 8 months | 11% | 36% | 247,500 |
| 7th to 12th | Within 14 months, 1% monthly | 6% | 42% | 135,000 |
| 13th | Within 15 months | 8% | 50% | 180,000 |
| 14th to 18th | Within 20 months, 1% monthly | 5% | 55% | 112,500 |
| 19th | Within 21 months | 8% | 63% | 180,000 |
| 20th to 23rd | Within 25 months, 1% monthly | 4% | 67% | 90,000 |
| 24th | Within 26 months | 8% | 75% | 180,000 |
| Final payment | On handover | 25% | 100% | 562,500 |
Two points stand out. First, half of the price is paid within 15 months of booking, and three quarters within 26 months. Second, all construction instalments end at month 26. For a buyer who booked at launch in October 2024, that point falls in December 2026, which leaves more than a year with no instalments before the scheduled handover.
Sale records for Damac Sun City list each home by its plot area, not its built up area. The plots in recent deals range from about 1,550 sq ft to about 2,460 sq ft. These are the sales registered between November 2025 and July 2026:
The smaller plots show the clearest change. A home on a 1,555 sq ft plot was registered at AED 2,000,000 in December 2025, while homes on 1,550 sq ft plots were registered at AED 2,535,000 in February 2026 and AED 2,936,000 in May 2026. In these records, the May price is about 47 percent higher than the December price for a plot of almost the same size.
Larger plots of about 2,360 sq ft and above were registered between about AED 3.1 million and AED 4 million. Measured against plot area, all 9 sales worked out to about AED 1,276 to AED 1,894 per sq ft.
The main difference between Damac Sun City and a standard townhouse community is its focus on wellness and nature. According to DAMAC, the community will include a beach entry pool, a natural pond with quiet seating spaces, a wild garden amphitheatre and forest hiking trails.
Outdoor decks for yoga and meditation, a gym and a monkey bar arena add active spaces, while a quiet co-working space gives residents a place to work close to home. At launch, DAMAC also listed camping areas, a suspension bridge, barefoot reflexology areas, ice bath therapy stations and organic wellness stores as part of the plan.
Families will find several schools within 5 minutes by car. Dubai International Academy Town Square, Dubai British School Mira, Fairgreen International School and GEMS Metropole School Al Waha are all a short drive from the community, which makes the daily school run easy for parents.
For outdoor time, Town Square Park is just as close, while Trump International Golf Club and Arabian Ranches Golf Club are both within 10 minutes. Global Village, Dubai Miracle Garden and IMG Worlds of Adventure are all within 15 minutes of Damac Sun City, so weekend family outings stay close to home.
The Damac Sun City floor plan includes 4 and 5 bedroom townhouses with built up areas from 2,319 to 3,324 sq ft. The difference of about 1,005 sq ft between the smallest and largest layouts gives families a clear choice between smaller and larger layouts, depending on how much space they need for living and guests. Every unit in the community is a townhouse, so buyers choose between bedroom counts and sizes rather than between building types.
Residents of Damac Sun City have access to a swimming pool, a fully equipped gymnasium, a fitness centre, an outdoor gym, a yoga court and a spa and sauna. Running tracks, jogging and cycling trails, sports courts, landscaped gardens, parks and leisure areas keep daily life active, while children have a kids park and play areas. For community life, there are BBQ areas, a festive lawn, a community hall, a multipurpose lounge and weekend markets, with a supermarket, retail outlets, restaurants and cafes for daily needs, plus 24x7 security and ample parking.
Damac Sun City is located in Dubailand at the intersection of Emirates Road and Al Qudra Road, close to Arabian Ranches and Damac Hills. Al Barsha, Burj Al Arab, Palm Jumeirah, Business Bay, Meydan, Dubai Opera and Al Maktoum International Airport are all within about 30 minutes by car, and Dubai International Airport is about 28 minutes away. This position gives residents a quiet suburban setting with road links to both of the city's airports and its main business districts.
