Description
Chelsea Residences by DAMAC is the world’s first residential project co-branded with Chelsea Football Club, a landmark collaboration between DAMAC Properties and one of global football’s most recognised institutions. Set at the crescent tip of Dubai Maritime City between Port Rashid and the Dubai Dry Docks, the development comprises six high-rise towers connected by a shared podium, holding more than 1,400 sea-facing homes with direct access to the Arabian Gulf and Blue Flag accredited beaches.
Designed by renowned architecture firm Gensler, the 1, 2, and 3-bedroom residences (roughly 775 to 2,056 sq ft) feature floor-to-ceiling glazing, open-plan layouts, and expansive balconies capturing 360-degree panoramas, from cruise liners gliding into Port Rashid to the Downtown skyline. Chelsea’s legacy is woven through the design with subtle crests, colour palettes, and football-inspired details across more than 30 lifestyle amenities, headlined by a rooftop football pitch, an infinity sand pool, wellness zones, and Chelsea-themed dining experiences.
The location ties the project to Old Dubai’s government-backed regeneration: Dubai Maritime City is an emerging waterfront peninsula minutes from Mina Rashid’s cruise terminal, Deira, and Downtown, with the Dubai Islands build-out adding further momentum. Launched from AED 2.17 million with phased releases pricing progressively higher as towers sell through, every residence clears the AED 2M Golden Visa threshold. For Australian buyers, it is scarce branded waterfront from the developer that pioneered branded living in Dubai.
Chelsea FC’s worldwide following gives the address instant international recognition, and branded residences in Dubai consistently command rental and resale premiums over unbranded stock.
At the crescent tip of Dubai Maritime City, every home faces the sea, with private beach access, Blue Flag waters, and 360-degree Gulf and skyline views.
The 60/40 plan runs on predictable 1% monthly instalments through construction rather than lumpy milestone payments, with 40% deferred to the December 2029 handover.
Dubai Maritime City sits at the heart of the government-backed regeneration of Old Dubai’s waterfront, with Mina Rashid, Dubai Islands, and cruise tourism as demand catalysts.
Launch pricing shown; live pricing varies by tower, floor, and release phase. DLD registration fee (4%) applies separately; DLD-waiver promotions have run on selected releases. Prices are indicative and subject to change at the developer’s discretion.
DAMAC’s structure is built for predictability: 20% on booking (plus the 4% DLD fee), then 1% per month across 40 monthly instalments through construction, with the remaining 40% due at the December 2029 handover, when completion certificates are issued and freehold title deeds are registered with the Dubai Land Department. Selected releases have carried promotions such as reduced booking deposits or DLD-fee waivers; Austrabay will confirm the current offer at booking.
Dubai Maritime City is a purpose-built waterfront peninsula between Port Rashid and the Dubai Dry Docks, at the heart of Old Dubai’s government-backed regeneration. Chelsea Residences commands the crescent tip, surrounded by the Arabian Gulf on three sides, minutes from the Mina Rashid cruise terminal and superyacht marina, Deira’s commercial heart, and the emerging Dubai Islands. Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport are each roughly 15 to 20 minutes away, with Sheikh Rashid Road linking the peninsula to the city grid.
Chelsea’s identity runs through the shared spaces, from subtle crests to colour palettes, in a resort-grade amenity programme built around sport, wellness, and the waterfront.
The clearest expression of the partnership is a football pitch on the roof, suspended above the Arabian Gulf with the Dubai skyline as its backdrop, complemented by the infinity sand pool that blurs the line between beach and building. In a city full of pools and gyms, a Chelsea-branded pitch above the sea is a genuine one-of-one, the kind of amenity that keeps a building famous for decades.
Branded residences are one of Dubai’s most resilient premium segments, and Chelsea Residences pairs that formula with scarce true-seafront land. The phased release model has already demonstrated pricing power, with each tower launching above the last as earlier phases sold through, and the global Chelsea FC fanbase provides a unique international buyer and tenant pool. Dubai Maritime City’s position within Old Dubai’s regeneration, beside Mina Rashid’s cruise economy and the emerging Dubai Islands, adds infrastructure-led upside, while the 1% monthly payment rhythm keeps the construction phase predictable for overseas buyers, backed by DAMAC’s four decades of delivery.
Every residence at Chelsea Residences is priced above the AED 2 million threshold, making all buyers eligible to apply for the UAE 10-year Golden Residency Visa, covering the investor and their immediate family. This grants the freedom to live, work, and study in the UAE with long-term security. Austrabay can guide you through the entire Golden Visa application process alongside your purchase.
DAMAC Properties, founded in 1982 by Hussain Sajwani, is one of the Middle East’s largest and most recognised luxury developers, with tens of thousands of homes delivered across Dubai and international markets. DAMAC pioneered the branded-residence model in the region, with collaborations spanning Versace, Cavalli, and de GRISOGONO, and master communities including DAMAC Hills and DAMAC Lagoons.
Chelsea Residences extends that branded legacy into global sport, pairing DAMAC’s delivery scale with one of football’s most famous institutions. For overseas buyers, the combination of an established Tier-1 developer, a globally understood brand, and DLD-registered freehold title provides a familiar, secure route into Dubai’s premium waterfront market.
