DUBAIDAMAC Properties has announced plans to hand over 8,800 residential units across Dubai in 2026, marking another significant milestone in its expanding development pipeline.

The delivery programme covers some of the developer's flagship communities and towers across the emirate.

The announcement comes as the company revealed it had awarded more than Dh10 billion worth of construction contracts during the first half of 2026, underlining continued momentum across its projects.

Delivery plan

The upcoming handovers will span several of DAMAC's key developments, including DAMAC Hills, DAMAC Hills 2, DAMAC Lagoons, Chic Tower and Elegance Tower. The projects represent sustained progress across the company's residential portfolio as construction activity continues across some of Dubai's most sought-after communities.

DAMAC said it remains focused on strengthening its development pipeline through strategic contractor partnerships, operational efficiencies and technology-driven construction processes aimed at maintaining delivery schedules.

Ali Sajwani, Managing Director of DAMAC Properties, said the developer remained committed to delivering every promised home without disruption or delay.

"Despite the regional tensions earlier this year, our construction activity, operations and handover timelines continue to progress with confidence and consistency. Our priority remains clear, to deliver on our commitments while maintaining the highest standards of quality, efficiency and execution," he said.

Growth strategy

Sajwani added that Dubai continues to demonstrate exceptional resilience as a global real estate and investment destination, with DAMAC remaining focused on supporting the emirate's long-term vision through timely project delivery and continued investment across its developments.

The latest announcement highlights the developer's continued investment in expanding residential communities while responding to sustained demand from both homeowners and investors in Dubai's property market.

Founded in 2002 by Hussain Sajwani, DAMAC has established itself as one of the region's largest private real estate developers. The company has delivered more than 50,000 homes, while over 54,000 units are currently under construction across its portfolio.

Global expansion

Alongside its development activity, DAMAC expanded its international profile during 2025 through partnerships with Chelsea Football Club and Oracle Red Bull Racing, while also launching a series of new projects.

The company develops residential, commercial and leisure properties across the UAE and international markets, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, the Maldives, Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. It has also collaborated with globally recognised brands such as Roberto Cavalli and de GRISOGONO to create luxury residential developments.
