Cavalli Tower

A freehold apartment bought from the developer before completion. In Dubai, non-UAE nationals may take freehold ownership in the areas designated by Regulation No. 3 of 2006, and the Dubai Land Department issues the title deed. Until the building is handed over you hold a registered sale and purchase agreement rather than a deed, and reselling before handover needs a No Objection Certificate from the developer. Tenure, plot designation and the payment schedule are confirmed for the specific residence before you commit.

Owner use starts at handover, which DAMAC currently lists as the second quarter of 2027 for the residences still unsold. There is no cap on owner nights. Letting is permitted and is subject to availability: to take short-stay guests, every apartment must be registered and approved by Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism before it is listed. A longer lease is registered with the Dubai Land Department, and the tenant pays Dubai Municipality a housing fee of 5 per cent of the annual rent.

No service charge is set yet, because the building has not been handed over. After handover the charge comes from an annual budget that the Real Estate Regulatory Agency approves, is invoiced quarterly through the Dubai Land Department's Mollak system, and is paid into a regulated account with audited statements. The rate for this tower is confirmed for the specific residence before you commit. Registration is separate: the Land Department charges a fee on the sale value, and a registration trustee office charges AED 4,000 plus service fees.

The tower is run as a serviced building rather than a hotel, so most of it is charged as you use it rather than bundled. The developer's brochure sets out butler, housekeeping, chef, nurse, trainer, laundry and styling services on call. The building's own amenities are spread up the tower instead of sitting in one podium, from the beach pool at ground level to the wellness floor on level 24 and the sky pool on level 58. The list below carries the detail.

DAMAC launched the tower in 2021 and puts the project value at AED 1 billion. It was designed by Shaun Killa of Killa Design, architect of the Museum of the Future, with interiors by Roberto Cavalli Home Interiors. DAMAC describes 70 storeys; the contractor, CSCEC, poured the final slab at the 71st floor in November 2025 to top out the structure. There are 436 residences, from one to five bedrooms, including duplexes and five-bedroom penthouses. The lobby rises four storeys to a skylight with an indoor waterfall, and six panoramic jet elevators run through cut-outs in the facade.

The tower sits on the sand at Al Sufouh, the coastal strip that runs from Dubai Marina towards Dubai Media City and Dubai Internet City, next to The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi. The sea is in front of the building rather than a marina basin, and apartments face Palm Jumeirah, Burj Al Arab or the marina. Dubai International is the nearer airport and Al Maktoum International lies to the south; DAMAC publishes drive times of 20 and 35 minutes.

A foreign buyer can own outright. Freehold ownership by non-UAE nationals is allowed in the designated areas, there is no age limit and no residence requirement, and the title deed comes from the Dubai Land Department. Money paid before completion goes into the project escrow account required by Law No. 8 of 2007, not straight to the developer. The UAE government portal also lists a 5-year golden residence for property owners at AED 2 million or more. Check the escrow account and the registered project status before paying anything.

Avory works with DAMAC's sales office on the residences the developer still holds, and with owners and their brokers on resales. After you enquire we send the current availability list with floor plans, the payment schedule and the handover date in writing, then introduce you to the seller directly. Avory is not the developer or its appointed agent, holds no inventory, and cannot fix a price: availability and terms change. Request access.
