Master plan
The developer’s own site plan for The Sapphire, showing how the buildings, roads and open space sit together.
What you pay, and when
At launch, payments were staged 20% on booking, 50% during construction and 30% at handover. Buying now means a resale from a private owner, on whatever terms the two sides agree.
On top of the price, the Dubai Land Department charges 4% to register the sale, about AED 86,000 at this entry price. The 20% booking payment sits in a RERA-supervised escrow account rather than with Damac Properties, held under Dubai's Law 8 of 2007 and drawn down against certified construction progress.
Ownership and residency
Ownership at The Sapphire is freehold: a buyer of any nationality can own a unit outright and hold the title deed. The 10 year UAE golden visa has a property threshold of AED 2,000,000, and the entry price is at or above it, so the cheapest unit in the development qualifies on its own.
Who it suits
The development is apartments, penthouses and townhouses in 1 to 5 bedroom layouts. The developer has sold out, so anything available here is a resale from a private owner.
What is on site
Among the shared facilities recorded for The Sapphire are cafe and restaurants and retail facilities, alongside the indoor swimming pool, gymnasium, security and children's play area that most Dubai developments carry. 6 floor plans are published for it.
