Radisson Blu Hotel Apartments, DAMAC Hills 1, Dubai: Same 8% Guarantee as Edge by Rotana, But an Established, Central Community

When two projects from the same broker offer an identical guarantee structure, the real differentiator is what happens after the guarantee ends — and that comes down to location maturity. An established community with 35,000+ residents and existing infrastructure (supermarkets, schools, clinics) has a fundamentally different occupancy risk profile than a newer, more remote development, even under the same brand-management umbrella.

481 rooms and apartments (studios, 1- and 2-bedroom) across 24 floors (floors 2–27), fully furnished by Radisson, managed entirely by Radisson (passive income for the investor). Located in DAMAC Hills 1 — DAMAC's first, fully developed community, home to 35,000+ residents with its own supermarkets, restaurants, schools, medical centers, sports facilities and parks. Radisson Blu is a global brand with 1,450+ hotels in 115 countries, operating since 1909, and holds a leading market presence in Dubai specifically.

Pricing: studios from AED 915,000.

Guaranteed return: 8% annually on payments made, for the first 5 years, paid every 6 months. After the guarantee period, the source states income depends on hotel occupancy and is "often higher, 7–9%" — an optimistic framing, in contrast to the more cautious language used for the DAMAC Hills 2 sister project in this same catalog.

Owner use: 14 nights/year (7 high season, 7 low season).

Amenities: ground-floor restaurants and shops, lobby, shared pool, gym, spa, kids' play area, included parking. 10 elevators (8 passenger, 2 service).

Payment plan: 24% deposit at booking, then 12 equal installments of 6–7% every 3 months, over a total 36-month term.

How is this different from Edge by Rotana in DAMAC Hills 2 (also in this catalog)?

The guarantee terms are identical (8% for 5 years, same payment structure), but the location profile is very different. DAMAC Hills 1 (this project) is fully developed with 35,000+ residents and is 25 minutes from central Dubai; DAMAC Hills 2 is 45–55 minutes out and still developing. The source materials describe post-guarantee income here as "often higher, 7–9%", while the DAMAC Hills 2 materials caution occupancy-driven income there may be lower due to distance from the center.

What's included in the price?

Full Radisson furniture package, and management entirely handled by Radisson — the investor receives passive income without operational involvement.

What's the payment schedule?

24% deposit at booking, then 12 equal installments of 6–7% every 3 months, for a total financing period of 36 months.
