Travel times as stated in DAMAC's brochure.
Facilities
The brochure lists the building's facilities in a single list:
- a lobby with 24-hour reception and a concierge desk
- landscaped gardens
- a temperature-controlled swimming pool
- a gymnasium with changing rooms separated for men and women
- steam rooms and a sauna
- a kids club
- covered parking
A plan of the pool deck in the brochure labels seven areas: a kids' play area, an outdoor courtyard, an outdoor gym, an indoor gymnasium, a kids' pool and wet play area, the main pool, and a space for yoga and meditation. The same plan carries the two orientation labels from the floor plans, facing Downtown and park view on one side and the Dubai Canal on the other. The brochure also describes a wellness area set aside for rest, with room for yoga or meditation.
These are the facilities as DAMAC's brochure describes them. On a building that has been complete since 2022, what matters to an owner or tenant is how they run today, which is a question for a site visit and for the owners' association.
Developer
The register names Damac World Real Estate L.L.C as the developer of Vera Tower. The project was marketed under the DAMAC brand, and the brochure presents it as a DAMAC Properties development.
DAMAC's brochure describes DAMAC Properties as active in the Middle East's property market since 2002. As of 30 June 2021, it states that DAMAC had delivered close to 35,000 homes and that its development portfolio, spread across different stages of planning and progress, stood at more than 33,000. The brochure lists the countries where DAMAC has worked as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Lebanon, Canada, the Maldives and the United Kingdom. It names brand partnerships with The Trump Organization on a golf course, and with Versace, Fendi Casa, Just Cavalli, Paramount Hotels & Resorts, Rotana and Radisson Hotel Group. These are DAMAC's own figures and claims, as printed in its brochure.
Documents
Three DAMAC documents are available as downloads on this page.
- Brochure: 19 pages. It covers the location and map, the travel times, the facilities list, the pool-deck plan, the interiors and the three unit plans with their areas.
- Floor plans: 10 pages. The plans for the 4th floor, the 5th floor and floors 6 to 28, each with its unit-number table, then the studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom unit plans with their printed areas.
- Payment plan: a single-page DAMAC payment plan.
The brochure and the floor plans both close with DAMAC's office directory and a disclaimer. All three are DAMAC's own marketing documents, published as DAMAC issued them.
Buyer checks
Buying in a completed tower raises different questions from an off-plan purchase. These are the ones worth putting to the seller, the owners' association and your own adviser before you commit.
- Does the title deed name the same floor and unit number as the apartment you are being shown, and does that unit appear on the matching DAMAC floor plan?
- Which side of the floor does the unit face, Downtown and the park or the Dubai Canal, and does the view on site match the plan's label?
- Does the as-built layout match the unit plan for its type, and do the measured areas match the figures on the title deed?
- What is the current service charge, and can the owners' association confirm it in writing?
- Are the facilities in the brochure's list open and in use, and on what terms do residents use them?
- Is the unit let, and if so, on what lease terms and to when?
- What payment terms apply to the specific unit on offer, and are they set out in writing?
