Location: Al Yelayiss 1 (DAMAC Islands)
Al Yelayiss 1 is the official DLD area name. Buyers and agents usually market the project under the DAMAC Islands name. It is a villa-led residential community developed by DAMAC, set away from Dubai's older central districts.
Communities like this tend to suit buyers who want a house rather than an apartment. That includes families and long-term investors who are comfortable with a handover several years away. If you work in a central district, test the commute at peak hours before you commit.
See every launch in the area on our page for off-plan projects in Al Yelayiss 1 (DAMAC Islands). Ask Dani about the master plan, nearby roads and community facilities. This page does not list amenities because the project data does not include them.
Construction progress and handover
The DLD register shows 0% construction progress. Work is due to start in July 2026. The expected completion date is Q4 2030, which is about four years of building time from that start.

- The handover date written in the sales and purchase agreement (SPA).
- What the contract says about delays and buyer remedies.
- The project's DLD registration and its escrow account details.
- Which payments fall due before and after handover.
- Service charge estimates once the community is operating.

Foreign buyers can generally buy in designated freehold areas of Dubai. If the property value is AED 2 million or more, you may qualify for a Golden Visa. Off-plan eligibility has conditions, so confirm the current rules before you rely on it.
