DAMAC Properties has announced its fifth master community, called Sun City, in Dubailand

DAMAC Properties has officially opened its fifth planned community, called DAMAC Sun City, in Dubailand, the company announced on Monday.

Master Community

The company based in Dubai has announced a new project that focuses on health, nature, and luxury. This matches the growing interest in lifestyle-focused homes in Dubai’s real estate market.

“DAMAC Sun City is our fifth master community, following the successful launch of our Riverside project in May,” said Mohammed Tahaineh, the General Manager of Projects at DAMAC.

“We are happy to see that demand in Dubai is still very strong, and we expect this trend to continue for a long time.”

Sun City will include features that promote well-being, such as hiking trails, outdoor yoga studios, and areas for reflexology.

It will be conveniently located near important places in Dubai, including Downtown Dubai and the international airports, aiming to combine nature with modern city living.

DAMAC will provide a payment plan of 75% upfront and 25% later, along with a 4% waiver on fees for early investors. The company has been actively growing in Dubai’s property market, launching nearly 30 projects since 2023.
