Safa One by Damac: Two Towers in Al Wasl
Damac Properties is developing Safa One in Al Wasl, one of Dubai's most established residential areas. The project sits within the Safa Park precinct, backed by a green belt on one side and direct access to the Business Bay corridor on the other. Two towers deliver apartments and duplexes, with construction started in April 2024 and handover set for December 2026.
Al Wasl: A Residential Address With Central Reach
Al Wasl occupies the zone between Jumeirah's coastal strip and the denser urban core of Business Bay and Downtown. From this address, the beach is 10 to 15 minutes by car. Business Bay is roughly the same distance. Downtown Dubai, including the Burj Khalifa, is around 20 minutes.
For an investor, Al Wasl's low-density character is part of the case. The district is mostly villas and low-rise buildings. A high-rise development here is less common than in Jumeirah Beach Residence or Downtown, which gives a project at this address a more distinct position within the local rental market.
The Price Spread: AED 4.45M to AED 25.8M
AED 4,453,000 is where the 2-bedroom apartments in Tower A and Tower B start. This is an upper-market entry for a Dubai apartment, appropriate for the Al Wasl address.
3-bedroom apartments begin at AED 9,750,000, with layouts reaching around 4,581 sq ft. These are generously sized units, and at this price point they sit in the prime residential bracket.
Duplexes occupy a separate tier. 2-bedroom duplexes start at AED 9,368,000, 3-bedroom duplexes at AED 16,933,000, and 4-bedroom duplexes at AED 25,827,000 with floor sizes reaching 5,937 sq ft.
Around the AED 9M to AED 10M range, the choice between a 3-bedroom apartment at 4,581 sq ft and a 2-bedroom duplex at 2,755 sq ft is a configuration decision, not just a budget one. Both sit at similar price points but serve different living styles.
Two Product Types, Five Starting Points

Amenities: Private Facilities Alongside Shared Infrastructure
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Fitness and Wellness | Gymnasium, Private Gym, Well-being centre |
| Pool Options | Shared Pool, Private Pool |
| Outdoor Spaces | Private Garden, Children's Play Area |
| Building Services | Concierge, Security, Covered Parking |
| F&B | Restaurants on-site |
Having both a private pool and a shared pool within the same project points to tiered amenity access across unit types. A private gym alongside the communal gymnasium suggests the larger duplexes carry dedicated facilities. The concierge service and on-site restaurants position the building as full-service. Taken together, the amenity set targets residents making this their primary home rather than a remote investment.
18 Months to Handover
Construction started in April 2024. Buyers entering now have approximately 18 months before the December 2026 completion date. For investors, the December 2026 handover sets a clear timeline for when the unit can be tenanted. For owner-occupiers, the window provides enough time to arrange financing and plan a move without an extended limbo period.
Getting In: 20% Down, No Post-Handover Plan
| Phase | Amount |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 40% |
| At handover | 40% |
A 20% down payment opens the purchase. The next 40% is spread across construction milestones, reducing the upfront cash commitment during the build. The final 40% falls at handover. There is no post-handover payment plan. Buyers using mortgage financing will need a loan in place before the December 2026 handover date to cover that final tranche.
