Damac Riverside Views - Marine 3: Apartments in DIP 2 from AED 888,000
Damac Properties launched Marine 3 as the latest phase of their Riverside Views collection within the Damac Riverside master community in Dubai Investment Park 2. It is apartment-only, offering one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. Construction started in January 2025. Handover is targeted for March 2029, making this a four-year off-plan purchase from the point of groundbreaking.
Dubai Investment Park 2: What the Address Means
DIP 2 sits in the southwestern part of Dubai. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Emirates Road (E611) are the primary routes connecting this area to the rest of the city. In practical commute terms, Downtown Dubai and Business Bay are roughly 30 to 40 minutes by car in normal traffic. Dubai Marina is around 25 to 35 minutes. Al Maktoum International Airport is approximately 20 minutes by road.
That airport proximity shapes the investment case here. DIP 2 sits adjacent to the Dubai World Central zone, which is a consideration for buyers with a long-term view of southwestern Dubai. The daily environment is functional rather than urban. The district combines residential communities with warehouse, logistics, and light industrial operations nearby. The result is mid-market off-plan pricing in a neighbourhood that is still maturing. Families and value-focused residents make up the core audience here.
AED 888,000 to AED 1,400,000: What the Range Covers
The price runs from AED 888,000 to AED 1,400,000, a AED 512,000 spread. The explanation is direct: two bedroom tiers, two price points. One-bedroom apartments start at AED 888,000. Two-bedroom units start at AED 1,400,000. There is no view premium or floor uplift stacked on top of a single unit type.
At AED 888,000 for a one-bed, Marine 3 sits in mid-market territory for Dubai off-plan. That entry point works for investors targeting rental demand from professionals and couples based in the southwest or commuting through Al Maktoum. At AED 1.4 million, the two-bed is priced for families buying with a 2029 occupation in mind, or investors comfortable with a higher ticket price for a larger rentable asset.
One-Bedrooms and Two-Bedrooms
Marine 3 is apartments only. The two configurations are one-bedroom and two-bedroom, each in a single layout type. There are no villas, townhouses, or retail units in this phase.
The one-bed targets solo investors and couples entering the DIP 2 rental pool. The two-bed suits families with a longer occupation horizon or investors looking for a larger unit to rent out from 2029 onward.
Amenities
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Wellness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
Six amenities is a modest total, but the composition is considered. The indoor swimming pool is the standout inclusion. Unlike outdoor pools, which see limited use during Dubai's summer months, an indoor pool extends usability year-round, a practical advantage for residents planning regular fitness routines.
On-site restaurants mean everyday meals do not require leaving the community. Combined with a gymnasium, landscaped gardens, and a children's play area, the overall set is practical and family-oriented. The amenity mix fits the location: a functional, self-contained package for residents who prioritise convenience over lifestyle signaling.
March 2029: The Off-Plan Timeline
Construction broke ground in January 2025. The expected handover is March 2029, four years from the start of works. Buyers entering now are in the early phase of that construction cycle.
For investors, the income clock starts in 2029 at the earliest. For end-users, the wait is the core trade-off: entry at today's pricing in exchange for four years before the unit is ready. The off-plan structure here is standard for Dubai: lower entry pricing relative to a ready unit, in exchange for delivery time and construction exposure.
