Damac Hills 2 - Virdis

Virdis is a completed residential development by DAMAC, situated within the master-planned Damac Hills 2 community in Dubai's southern corridor. Comprising four buildings and delivered in Q3 2022, the project offers a mix of apartments and townhouses, semi-furnished and ready for occupation.

# The four buildings and their position in Damac Hills 2

Damac Hills 2 sits in the Dubai land district, positioned between Al Qudra Road and Emirates Road, roughly 24 kilometres from Downtown Dubai. It is a self-contained community by design, with its own parks, retail infrastructure and leisure facilities built around a low-density suburban grid. Virdis occupies a section of that grid across four buildings, each oriented towards community green space rather than a skyline.

The scale is domestic rather than monumental. These are low-to-mid-rise structures, appropriate for a community that markets itself on greenery and space rather than height or density. The architecture is clean and contemporary without being ostentatious.

# Residences, finish and semi-furnished specification

The developer's data does not disclose unit counts, sizes or pricing for Virdis, and the project is currently listed as out of stock through standard sales channels. What is confirmed is that the buildings contain apartments across studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom configurations, alongside townhouses. All units are delivered semi-furnished.

Service charges run at 2.00 to 3.50 AED per square foot annually, which sits broadly in line with comparable mid-market community developments in Dubai land.

The interior specification follows DAMAC's standard palette for this community tier: warm neutral tones, functional kitchens with integrated appliances, and private outdoor space in the townhouse formats.

# Amenity infrastructure across the community

The amenity list at Virdis is notably broad for a four-building project. On the active side, there is a gym, dance studio, paintball arcade, sports town and swimming pool. The spa provides a quieter counterpoint.

What distinguishes the offer from most comparable developments is the density of outdoor and experiential programming. A fishing lake, butterfly garden, bird enclosure, zen garden, outdoor cinema, farmer's market with a petting farm and a water town (the community's aquatic leisure zone) are all accessible to residents. These are not standard line items in a Dubai mid-market development.

The Damac Hills 2 park sits 1.6 kilometres away, a three-minute drive, and the community centre is reachable in seven minutes.

# Distance from the city and practical connectivity

Al Maktoum International Airport is 35.7 kilometres away, roughly 28 minutes by road. Downtown Dubai registers at 23.9 kilometres and approximately 32 minutes in moderate traffic. Sufouh Beach is 42 kilometres out. These figures are honest: Virdis is suburban in the full sense, and buyers should approach it as such rather than as a city-fringe address.

Road access via Emirates Road and Al Qudra Road is the practical link to the rest of the emirate. Public transport connections in this corridor remain limited, so car dependency is the realistic assumption.

# The buyer this development suits, and why

Virdis completed at 100 per cent in Q3 2022, which removes construction risk entirely. For international buyers focused on yield rather than capital growth speculation, that is a meaningful starting point. The semi-furnished specification and the community's leisure infrastructure are positioned at the long-term tenant market: families and young professionals who want space and programming at a price point that Dubai's more central districts cannot offer.

The project is not suited to buyers seeking proximity to the financial centre or beach access without a significant commute. It suits investors comfortable with a suburban rental strategy, or end-users drawn specifically to the Damac Hills 2 community format and its unusual concentration of outdoor amenities.
