The four, 13-storey towers are the first high-rise units to go on sale in the 55 million sq ft master development. Prices start from just AED 440,000, with construction set to be completed by the middle of 2019.

With the summer coming to an end we are expecting the next few months to be a very busy time across the city, said Niall McLoughlin, Senior Vice President, DAMAC Properties. AKOYA Oxygen has surpassed expectations in terms of sales, and we expect the first apartment units to be made available in the project to be very attractive to investors visiting Dubai over the coming weeks.

Dubais tourism numbers continue to grow as more infrastructure and entertainment is added, added McLoughlin. This also reiterates our strong belief that hotel apartments are an attractive investment vehicle for those looking to capitalize on strong rental returns generated by the impressive influx of visitors to Dubai.
