Chelsea Residences by Damac

About the Project

Chelsea Residences is a partnership between DAMAC Properties and Chelsea Football Club. It is the first residential development anywhere in the Middle East to carry the Chelsea brand. It is also one of the more ambitious branded-residence plays Dubai has seen in the last few years.

The tower sits in Dubai Maritime City. That is the peninsula between Port Rashid and Dubai Drydocks. The area has been steadily repositioning itself into one of Dubai’s most interesting emerging waterfront addresses.

Unit Sizes and Prices

Three configurations are available. 1-bedroom apartments start from 773 sq ft and are priced from AED 2.2 million. 2-bedroom layouts start from 1,158 sq ft and from AED 3.1 million. 3-bedroom apartments start from 1,652 sq ft and from AED 4.9 million.

Interiors are designed around Chelsea’s performance and wellness ethos rather than club memorabilia. Expect layered natural finishes, deep sound insulation, and layouts that prioritise light and flow. Most units include wide balconies oriented toward the Arabian Gulf, Dubai Islands, or the Downtown skyline.

Amenities

The amenity stack is what actually differentiates Chelsea Residences from the rest of Dubai’s branded-residence market. The development carries more than 30 lifestyle amenities.

Key features include a rooftop football pitch, simulation rooms, and a full athletic recovery zone with cryotherapy and a wellness spa. Dining is curated around health and performance. There is a Mono Diet Café serving nutrition-tailored meals, plus fine dining concepts and The Captain’s Table. That is a private dining space where residents can host gatherings alongside Chelsea legends at scheduled events. It is a full sports and hospitality ecosystem folded into a residential address.

Location

Location adds another layer of value. Dubai Maritime City is a peninsula development that connects directly to Sheikh Rashid Road. Residents get 10 to 12-minute drives to DIFC, Downtown Dubai, and Dubai International Airport.

The new Dubai Islands are directly across the water. Port Rashid’s luxury cruise terminal is a short walk. The zone has been positioned as a mixed-use waterfront district with hospitality, retail, and yacht infrastructure. Over the next few years, Chelsea Residences will sit inside a fully developed neighbourhood rather than a single tower on an empty plot.

Payment Plan

Pricing is where Chelsea Residences earns the investor argument. Starting from AED 2.17 million, the tower offers an entry into branded-residence ownership at around AED 2,800 per sq ft. That is competitive against other football-club or luxury-brand residences in Dubai, which often sit above AED 3,500 per sq ft.

The 60/40 payment plan is structured with a 20% deposit on booking, 1% monthly through construction over 40 months, and 40% on handover in December 2029. The 4% DLD registration fee is due with the deposit.

Investment Outlook

For investors and end-users considering off-plan apartments in Dubai with real brand equity, Chelsea Residences occupies a specific niche. Buyers get a waterfront location with infrastructure maturing around it. The amenity package justifies the premium. The brand partnership should support both rental demand and resale valuation. Every unit comfortably clears the Golden Visa threshold.
