The Dubai Land Department’s project register lists DAMAC Lagoons overall as under construction, since the community is built out in phases. The date in your sale and purchase agreement (SPA) for your specific cluster and building is the one that applies to you.
What is the DAMAC Lagoons payment plan?
DAMAC does not publish one payment plan for the whole community. Listings for individual clusters and releases show several structures, including 80% paid during construction with 20% due at handover, 60% during construction with 40% at handover, and 50/50 splits, plus post-handover options on some releases (Property Finder, accessed 28 Sep 2026).
Example only. For an entry apartment listed from AED 725,000 on an 80/20 plan:
| Payment | Amount |
|---|---|
| Purchase price | AED 725,000 |
| 4% DLD registration fee (paid separately) | AED 29,000 |
| 80% during construction, in instalments | AED 580,000 |
| 20% at handover | AED 145,000 |
This is one illustration, not the plan for every unit. Confirm the exact schedule and instalment dates for your unit before you book.
What do homes at DAMAC Lagoons cost?
DAMAC has not published original launch prices for the whole community. Current listed prices, by property portal:
| Home type | Listed from | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Studio to 2 bedroom apartments | AED 725,000 | Property Finder, accessed 28 Sep 2026 |
| 1 to 2 bedroom apartments (Andalucia) | AED 979,000 | Property Finder, accessed 28 Sep 2026 |
| Villas (asking) | AED 2,135,000 to AED 41,000,000, average AED 7,170,763 | Bayut, accessed 28 Sep 2026 |
Bayut recorded a 6% fall in asking prices over the 6 months to late September 2026. Sale transactions over the same period averaged AED 5,531,743, close to the asking average, which suggests prices are being agreed near the listed figure.
What to check before booking
- The SPA date for your exact cluster and building, not a headline date for the whole community.
- Whether your cluster is one DAMAC has confirmed, such as Santorini, or one only reported by portals.
- The exact payment plan for your unit, since DAMAC Lagoons uses several different structures across its clusters.
- The DLD project status for your building, through DLD’s project status enquiry service.
- How the payment plan lines up with the handover date, since a final instalment is usually due at handover.
