Dubai’s real estate market is set for another boost with DAMAC Properties unveiling Capri Riverside Views, a AED 1.1 billion wellness-driven riverside development positioned to attract both domestic buyers and international investors. Situated near Expo City Dubai and Dubai Investment Park, the project blends luxury with lifestyle, offering amenities such as a clubhouse, Zen Spa, floating island restaurant, hydroponic farm, and distinctive features like an essential oil lake and floating opera. Prices start from AED 993,000 for one-bedroom apartments and AED 1.9 million for two-bedrooms, supported by a payment plan requiring just 0.25 percent of the value each month, making ownership more attainable for first-time buyers and young investors.
The launch coincides with a surge in Dubai’s property transactions, which reached AED 431 billion across 125,500 deals in the first half of 2025, a 25 percent rise compared to the same period last year. Notably, 95,000 investors participated in the market, including 59,000 first-timers; a 22 percent increase that reflects growing global appetite for Dubai’s real estate. This demand is underpinned by the city’s reputation for resilience, high-quality infrastructure, and investor-friendly policies.
Infrastructure developments are also set to expand the market’s potential. The Etihad Rail passenger service, due in 2026, is expected to connect key emirates and emerging districts, with areas near stations forecast to see property values and rental yields climb by 10–15 percent. This shift could open new investment corridors, diversifying opportunities beyond established hotspots and supporting sustainable sector growth.
For developers, investors, and real estate professionals, Capri Riverside Views is more than just another luxury project; it is a signal of confidence in Dubai’s upward trajectory. By aligning lifestyle innovation with accessible financing and targeting areas poised for infrastructure-led appreciation, DAMAC’s latest launch positions itself to capture momentum in one of the world’s most competitive property markets.
