DAMAC Properties is also providing a rental return guarantee for every Golf Veduta property sold during Cityscape Global 2013.

The units come fully serviced with a dedicated kids club, fully-fitted kitchen’s throughout, a 24-hour concierge service, in-room personalized services and a modern wellness centre.
“Buy a unit, place it in the DAMAC Maison rental pool, and be guaranteed a return of 24% on your investment in the first three years. We will look after everything else – finding tenants, keeping the luxury apartment spotless and collecting the rent on your behalf,” said McLoughlin. “We believe Golf Veduta will be one of the most attractive investment opportunities during the show.”
DAMAC Properties will also be highlighting its project range with Paramount Hotels & Resorts during the exhibition. Exclusive Hotel rooms at DAMAC Towers by Paramount and Paramount Hotel, Jumeirah Waterfront, Dubai will be made available at promotional rates. Both projects allow investors to own their own fully-serviced room and capitalize on the booming Dubai hotel market.
Investors can buy a hotel room for as little as AED 999,999 and achieve strong rental returns when the room is rented out by DAMAC Properties’ management arm, DAMAC Maison.
“DAMAC Maison takes all of the stress out of trying to find a tenant, maintain the property and do the paperwork,” added McLoughlin. “DAMAC Towers by Paramount and Paramount Hotel, Jumeirah Waterfront, Dubai create a unique opportunity to buy into the booming tourism market in Dubai, with a relatively low initial investment. You own the hotel room, you can stay in it for a fortnight each year and for the rest of the time, we pay you returns based on occupancy – it’s a great concept we expect will grow rapidly in Dubai.”
