When will DAMAC Lagoons Nice be handed over?
Nice is a French Riviera-themed cluster of DAMAC Lagoons, the community opposite DAMAC Hills in Dubailand. It was registered in December 2021 and construction started on 28 February 2022. China Nuclear Industry 22nd Construction Company holds main works in Nice, and Delta Al Emarate was appointed for two Nice sub-clusters in 2023 (Continental Club; MEED, 10 December 2023).
The Dubai Land Department (DLD) registers Nice in two phases. Neither is recorded as finished:
| Phase | Homes | DLD progress | Inspection date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nice 1 | 509 | 93.71% | 10 Aug 2026 |
| Nice 2 | 434 | 83.88% | 17 Aug 2026 |
Both phases carry a registered completion date of 29 July 2025, which has passed. Nice 1 moved less than one point between its June and August 2026 inspections. Nice 2 moved 11.14 points between April and August 2026 (Continental Club, DLD registry). DAMAC has not published a new date. Broker listings in 2026 give dates between Q2 and Q4 2026, including Q3 2026 (betterhomes) and Q4 2026 (Property Finder).
Some property guides describe Nice as handed over from 2025. The DLD figures above do not support that. A small number of rental contracts are registered in Nice 1, including a 4 bedroom lease on 23 September 2026, so some homes may already be occupied.
DAMAC Lagoons Nice homes and sizes
Nice has 4 and 5 bedroom townhouses, built over two or three floors, and a small number of 6 bedroom villas around a lagoon and a lazy river.
| Home type | Built-up area | Launch price | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 bed townhouse | About 2,208 sq ft (listings quote 2,273) | AED 1.71 million | Data Habibi (DLD sales); Property Finder |
| 5 bed townhouse | About 2,861 to 2,944 sq ft | Not published | Data Habibi (DLD sales); Propsearch listing |
| 6 bed villa | About 4,780 sq ft | Not published | Data Habibi (DLD sales) |
Most 4 bedroom townhouses sit on plots of about 1,550 sq ft.
DAMAC Lagoons Nice prices and resale
Most sales in Nice are resales of homes not yet handed over, which the DLD records as “delayed sales”. DLD-registered sales in Nice 1 in August and September 2026 (Data Habibi):
| Home type | Recent sale prices | Price per sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| 4 bed townhouse | AED 2.4 million to AED 2.7 million | About AED 1,090 to 1,220 |
| 5 bed townhouse | AED 3 million (14 Sep 2026) | About AED 1,050 |
| 6 bed villa | AED 6.5 million (24 Aug 2026) | About AED 1,360 |
On these figures, a 4 bedroom townhouse bought at the AED 1.71 million launch price now resells for about 40% to 58% more. Continental Club counts 879 DLD-registered deals in Nice 1 since 2022.
DAMAC Lagoons Nice rents
Rental data is thin because most homes are not yet handed over. Property Finder showed 9 rental listings in Nice on 29 September 2026, with an average asking rent of about AED 169,900 a year. One 4 bedroom lease was registered in Nice 1 at AED 140,000 a year on 23 September 2026 (Continental Club).
DAMAC Lagoons Nice payment plan
The DLD-based record on Dubricks shows the launch plan as 20% on booking, ten instalments of 6% over 30 months, and 20% on completion. Bayut’s area guide shows a slightly different release with 30% due on completion. Under either plan, 20% to 30% of the price falls due at handover, so the timing of that payment has moved with the handover date.
