DAMAC's own project guide gives its handover as Q2 2030, about 18 months after the Q4 2028 date for phase 1. ## Has any unit at DAMAC Islands actually been handed over? No. The Dubai Land Department's project register, via PropertyIndex, lists DAMAC Islands as pre launch and states the project has not handed over. DAMAC's own construction and handover updates through 2026, including its 4 September 2026 release on 50,000 homes delivered, name DAMAC Hills, DAMAC Hills 2, DAMAC Lagoons, Chic Tower and Elegance Tower as the projects handing over units this year. DAMAC Islands is not among them. ## What to check before booking 1. **Which cluster and phase your unit sits in.** Q4 2028 does not apply to every DAMAC Islands listing. 2. **The SPA date for your exact unit**, since this is what your contract enforces, not a portal's estimate. 3. **The DLD project status** for the building, through DLD's project status enquiry service. 4. **How far off the final instalment is.** A 2028 or 2030 handover means years of construction payments before the last one falls due. ## Frequently asked ### Has DAMAC Islands been handed over yet?
