ELO 3 in Damac Hills 2: Apartments at AED 1.31 Million
Damac Properties is building ELO 3 within the Elo sub-cluster of Damac Hills 2, a large master-planned community in the southwest of Dubai. ELO 3 sits four tiers into the community's location hierarchy: Dubai, Damac Hills 2, Elo, and then ELO 3 itself. Construction started in August 2024. Handover is scheduled for August 2027. The project is currently in its active build phase, roughly midway through its three-year construction window. Buyers entering now are joining a project with construction already well under way.
Where Damac Hills 2 Sits
Damac Hills 2 is located along the Al Qudra Road corridor in the outer southwest of Dubai. Getting to Downtown Dubai takes roughly 35 to 40 minutes by car. Dubai Marina sits in a different direction, a similar distance away. This is not a central location. The community trades CBD proximity for space, lower density, and a quieter residential environment. Residents need a car. The daily radius extends outward from the community rather than inward toward the city core.
That trade-off shapes the buyer profile directly. The location suits owner-occupiers who drive and value more living space for the price. It suits families looking for a lower-density community rather than a high-rise urban environment. For investors, the community's family-oriented character points toward longer-term residential tenancy rather than short-stay demand.
One Price: AED 1,311,000
ELO 3 is listed at a fixed AED 1,311,000. The price minimum and maximum are identical. Buyers are looking at a standardised offer rather than a spread of unit types at different price levels. There is no cheaper entry configuration and no premium tier at the top. A fixed price removes the spread-analysis step. The cost is known precisely before a buyer starts. At just above AED 1.3 million, this sits at an accessible level for Dubai apartment buyers targeting community living outside the central districts.
Apartments
ELO 3 delivers apartments only. No villas, townhouses, or retail units are part of the development. This is a pure apartment product. A single type creates a consistent buyer and tenant profile across the building, which matters for investors assessing long-term demand and resale within the development.
On-site Facilities
ELO 3 includes seven amenities across fitness, outdoor living, family use, and on-site services:
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness | Gymnasium, Indoor Swimming Pool |
| Outdoor & Social | Landscaped Gardens, Barbecue Area, Children's Play Area |
| On-site Services | Restaurants, CCTV Security |
The indoor swimming pool stands out. In Dubai, outdoor pools become impractical during the summer heat months. An indoor option maintains year-round usability. The on-site restaurants reduce reliance on travelling out for meals, which is relevant for a community set away from central dining and retail. The children's play area and barbecue facilities reinforce the family-first positioning clearly. Taken together, the amenity set describes a project built for residential stability, targeting occupants who intend to use the community as a primary home rather than a transient base.
August 2027 Handover
Construction started in August 2024. Handover is scheduled for August 2027. That is a three-year build cycle from ground break to keys. As of mid-2026, the project is roughly halfway through its construction window. Build work is active, and the developer has 14 months left on the clock. The risk profile typical of very early-stage off-plan investment has largely passed. An off-plan buyer entering now commits with visible construction progress already on record.
Getting In for 20%
| Stage | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 60% |
| On handover | 20% |
The 20% down payment meets the standard Dubai off-plan entry requirement. The construction phase carries 60% of the purchase price, distributed in instalments across the build period through to mid-2027. Each payment falls during an active construction phase rather than as a single lump sum. The remaining 20% is due at handover. For mortgage buyers, the handover date marks the point where construction financing typically converts to a standard home loan.
