Damac Hills 2 - Virdis

Virdis is a completed four-tower residential development by DAMAC, located within the master-planned community of Damac Hills 2 in Dubai's south-western corridor. Completed in Q3 2022, it comprises both serviced apartments and standard residential units across its four buildings.

# The four towers and their position within Damac Hills 2

Damac Hills 2 is one of DAMAC's larger self-contained communities, positioned off Al Qudra Road and designed around greenery, recreational infrastructure and a degree of separation from the city's denser districts. Virdis sits at the heart of that community, spread across four towers designated A through D.

The arrangement is deliberate. Towers A and B are designated as serviced apartments, aimed at investors seeking rental-ready product. Towers C and D follow a more conventional residential model, offering studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts. The four-building format gives the project a campus quality rather than the isolation of a standalone tower.

# Residences, layouts and finish

The serviced apartments in Towers A and B are positioned as furnished, income-generating assets. Towers C and D offer unfurnished residential units across studio, one- and two-bedroom configurations.

Interiors across all four towers are finished to DAMAC's standard specification for this segment: fitted kitchens, consistent material palettes, and layouts that prioritise usable floor area over architectural complexity. The development is complete and handed over, which removes the execution risk that still accompanies much of Dubai's off-plan supply.

Service charges run at 2.00 to 3.50 AED per square foot annually, sitting within the normal range for a mid-density community project of this type.

# Amenities designed around outdoor living

The amenity offering at Virdis leans heavily towards leisure and community, with a breadth that reflects the broader Damac Hills 2 philosophy of building self-sufficient neighbourhoods.

# Recreation and nature

Within the development or immediately accessible are a Water Town, Sports Town, outdoor cinema, fishing lake, butterfly garden, bird enclosure and a Zen garden. A farmer's market and petting farm add an unexpected domestic texture for families. More conventional provisions, including a gym, swimming pool, spa, BBQ areas and a dance studio, sit alongside a paintball arcade that skews the offering towards younger residents and short-stay tenants.

The proximity to Damac Hills 2 Park, three minutes by car, extends usable green space considerably beyond the towers themselves.

# Connectivity and the surrounding district

Al Maktoum International Airport sits 35.7 kilometres away, around 28 minutes by road. Downtown Dubai is approximately 23.9 kilometres, a 32-minute drive under normal traffic conditions. Sufouh Beach reaches 42 kilometres to the north-west, roughly 39 minutes out.

Within the immediate neighbourhood, Shining Stars Nursery is 0.7 kilometres away, and the Damac Hills 2 Community Centre is a seven-minute drive. The community is highway-connected rather than metro-served, so car dependency remains the practical reality for daily movement.

# Who this project suits and where it sits in the market

Virdis is a completed asset in a finished community, which narrows the buyer profile considerably. For an investor based in the UK, Europe or Asia who wants a Dubai rental property without construction risk or a protracted handover process, the combination of ready title, serviced-apartment designation in Towers A and B, and a functioning community infrastructure addresses the main objections to off-plan exposure.

The location in Damac Hills 2 appeals to buyers who prioritise space and amenity density over address prestige. It does not carry the premium of Dubai Marina or Downtown, but it offers a markedly different lifestyle proposition: lower density, larger recreational footprint, and a community structure that supports long-term residency as much as short-term letting. For buyers whose priority is yield rather than postcode, that trade-off has a clear logic.
