Distress Deal
This 1-bedroom apartment in Golf Green 2, Damac Hills, is being offered as a distress deal at AED 1,430,000. The original price was AED 1,796,080, which means the current asking reflects a 20.4% discount, or AED 366,080 below the original price. The unit is a sizeable 1,007 sq.ft, placing the entry basis at approximately AED 1,420 per sq.ft. This is a larger-than-average 1-bedroom layout for the area, with a balcony and a golf course view from a mid-to-high floor (levels 15–20). The handover is scheduled for Q1 2027, so the buyer is taking a position in an under-construction project by Damac, one of Dubai’s most established developers. The immediate investment thesis is a below-market entry into a branded golf-facing project, with a payment plan that leaves a manageable balance at handover. For buyers seeking a combination of size, view, and a meaningful discount to the original price, this deal offers a clear value proposition in a maturing Damac Hills submarket.
Golf Green 2 is located within Damac Hills, a master-planned community in Dubailand. The project’s position means it benefits from direct frontage onto the Trump International Golf Club, with many units—including this one—enjoying open golf course views. Damac Hills is accessible via Hessa Street and Umm Suqeim Road, providing reasonable drive times to key Dubai destinations such as Dubai Marina, Mall of the Emirates, and Business Bay. Public transport options are still developing in this corridor, so private car use or ride-hailing services remain the primary modes of access. For investors, this means the resident profile will likely be car-dependent professionals, couples, or small families seeking a balance between green space and city connectivity. The area’s ongoing infrastructure improvements, including new retail and road links, are gradually enhancing both liveability and long-term value.
Golf Green 2 is part of a multi-building complex with a strong amenity offering. Residents will have access to a golf simulator, gymnasium, indoor golf facilities, shaded seating areas, sundecks, and multiple swimming pools. The podium level features an ‘aqua garden’ with landscaped walkways and islands, creating a resort-style environment. The project’s design emphasises modern minimalism and integration with the outdoors, with interiors that bring in natural light and views over the fairways. Damac Hills itself is a well-established community, offering supermarkets, schools, healthcare clinics, and a variety of dining and retail options. The Trump International Golf Club is a central amenity, providing both recreational and social opportunities. The surrounding area is now largely built out, with mature landscaping and a growing resident population, supporting both end-user and rental demand.
At AED 1,420 per sq.ft, this unit is priced below recent transaction averages for 1-bedroom apartments in Golf Green 2, where recent sales have ranged from AED 1,216 to AED 1,445 per sq.ft for smaller units (674–708 sq.ft). The larger size of this apartment means the absolute price is higher, but the per-square-foot basis remains competitive. The Damac Hills market has shown resilience, with steady demand from both end-users and investors seeking rental income. One-bedroom units with golf views and larger layouts tend to attract a premium, particularly for tenants seeking more space or a home office. Liquidity is supported by the project’s handover timeline (Q1 2027), giving buyers time to plan for rental or resale. Risks include the usual off-plan uncertainties: construction timelines, future supply in the area, and the need to underwrite realistic rental yields rather than speculative upside. However, the discount to original price and the payment plan structure provide a buffer against market volatility.
This distress deal in Golf Green 2 is best suited to investors seeking a mid-term position in a maturing golf community, with a clear discount to the original price and a larger-than-average 1-bedroom layout. The combination of golf course views, a strong amenity set, and a reputable developer underpins the investment case. The main considerations are the off-plan nature of the asset and the need to manage payment plan obligations through to handover. For buyers comfortable with these factors, the entry price offers a tangible advantage over both current launch pricing and recent secondary sales. The unit’s size and view profile should support both rental and resale demand, provided the broader Damac Hills market continues its current trajectory. Overall, this is a disciplined entry into a branded golf-fronting project, with enough margin to absorb typical off-plan risks and operating costs.
