Damac Prive

Damac Privé is a completed residential development by DAMAC, comprising two towers in Business Bay and delivered in December 2019. The project offers furnished apartments overlooking the Dubai Canal, positioned at the operational and geographic heart of one of the city's most established mixed-use districts.

# Two towers on the Dubai Canal, Business Bay

Business Bay has spent the better part of a decade consolidating its identity as a district that functions rather than merely looks the part. It sits immediately south of Downtown Dubai, separated by the canal and connected by a web of arterial roads that make most of the city reachable without doubling back. Damac Privé occupies this corridor directly, with canal views that are structural to the architecture rather than incidental.

The development runs to two buildings, both completed and fully handed over. A service charge of 17.4 AED per square foot reflects the upkeep of a mid-to-premium residential asset in a district where facilities management standards have risen steadily alongside occupancy.

# Furnished residences with canal-facing outlooks

The apartments are delivered fully furnished, which matters particularly for buyers acquiring at a distance or positioning the asset for the rental market from day one. Kitchens are fitted as standard. The finish is oriented towards the contemporary end of the spectrum, consistent with DAMAC's delivery approach during this period.

Specific unit sizes and counts are not published by the developer at this stage, given the project's secondary-market status. Prospective buyers should seek current availability directly, as the resale pool shifts with occupancy cycles and investor exits.

# Amenities: pool, spa and landscaped grounds

The shared facilities are focused and practical rather than extravagant. A temperature-controlled swimming pool allows year-round use, which in Dubai means it is genuinely relevant for eleven months rather than a warm-weather amenity. The health club and spa consolidates fitness and recovery under one roof. Manicured landscaping softens the ground-level environment, and a children's play area makes the project viable for families rather than purely investor-held.

# Six minutes from Downtown, eighteen from the airport

The location data tells a coherent story. Downtown Dubai sits 1.4 km away, a six-minute drive in ordinary traffic. Souk Al Bahar and The Dubai Mall are reachable in the same window. South Ridge Park, one of the better-maintained green spaces on this side of the canal, is a two-minute drive or a walkable distance for most residents. Dubai International Airport clocks in at 18 minutes, which is competitive for a central address.

City School Holdings International is half a kilometre away, relevant for families with school-age children who prioritise proximity over campus prestige.

# Who buys here, and why the secondary market holds up

Damac Privé appeals most directly to buyers who want a furnished, income-generating asset in a district with genuine occupancy demand rather than speculative vacancy. Business Bay has a large employed population: corporate tenants, hospitality workers, finance professionals. That base supports rental yields more reliably than amenity-heavy communities built on anticipated demand.

For an international buyer based in London, Frankfurt or Singapore, a furnished, canal-adjacent apartment in a completed building, six minutes from Downtown, is a comprehensible proposition. The due diligence is straightforward, the infrastructure is in place, and the exit market is liquid.
