Real estate developer Damac Properties has signed up UAE-based Al Qandeel Contracting to provide main works services for its new Verona Cluster in Damac Hills 2.

Launched in 2014, Damac Hills 2 is a 55m sqft master community and home to more than 30,000 residents. The second phase of the developer’s first master community, Damac Hills, it was then followed by Damac Lagoons in late 2021.

Billed as a major cluster within the community development, Verona will feature rows of four-bedroom townhouses and will offer residents a range of state-of-the-art facilities to enjoy, including water parks and sports activities. Other amenities include an outdoor cinema, a dog park, a petting farm and jogging and cycling track. There are also tennis and basketball courts, a cricket pitch and vast spaces in the Central Park, where residents can do yoga or any other type of fitness activity.

As per the US $49mn contract, Al Qandeel will provide construction of the main works package for 384 villas at the Verona cluster.

Mohammed Tahaineh, General Manager of Damac commented,  “Since the launch of Verona in the second half of last year, we have seen strong interest in the cluster and community. It gives me great joy to see this demand, as well as the progress our second master community has made and continues to grow each day. With a range of new amenities for our residents, including our own Malibu beach and a lazy river, we are happy to see the community continuing to attract investors and residents to Damac Hills 2.”

He also described the ambience of Damac Hills 2 as offering a “Californian coastal vibe” to Dubai, for the residents to enjoy.
