DAMAC Maison Privé (marketed as "Prive by DAMAC") is a completed serviced-apartment development in Business Bay, on the Dubai Canal. Despite the "off-plan" search phrase that leads people here, this is not a pre-construction launch: the twin towers were finished in 2019 and are occupied, so almost any purchase today is a secondary-market (resale) transaction. [1]
OffplanInsight is an independent research site for buyers, not a DAMAC sales page. We correct the framing up front because it changes the entire diligence process: on a completed, tenanted, serviced building you are checking a real, standing asset and its service structure — not a construction timeline. Numbers here go only as far as the two tower-guide records we cite; what they omit, we say so. See our Method.

Who it’s for
Buyers who want a ready, furnished, centrally located Business Bay unit for immediate use or short-let income, and who will verify service charges, operator terms and letting rules on the specific apartment.
Who it’s not for
Buyers seeking an off-plan payment plan and future handover, those wanting an unfurnished long-term residential flat with low service charges, or investors who assume the serviced format guarantees a higher net yield.
Status — completed, not off-plan
This tower is built and handed over. A Business Bay tower guide states it was "Completed in 2019, this high-rise building features 36 floors," developed by DAMAC Properties. [1] A second project page describes it as a "twin building hotel serviced apartment development" of two towers linked by a common podium, 36 storeys. [2]
The practical consequence: there is no construction risk, no build-linked payment plan and no future handover to wait for. Units trade on the secondary market. If a broker frames this as an "off-plan" opportunity with a payment plan and a handover date, treat that as a red flag and re-verify — the building has been standing for years.
Product — serviced apartments on the canal
The product is compact, furnished, serviced stock. The development comprises "1,046 Furnished Residences (Studio, 1BR, and 2BR)" across the two towers. [2] A tower guide similarly lists "fully furnished studios, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom apartments" and notes it is "Positioned along the Dubai Canal," with hotel-style amenities such as housekeeping and room service. [1]
This is a hotel-serviced apartment model, not a bare-shell residential flat. That has cost and use implications: furnishing and hotel-style services are bundled, which supports short-stay and holiday-let use but typically carries higher service and management charges. We do not publish a price on this page — no dated, unit-tied price sheet was sourced, and resale prices depend on tower (A or B), floor, view and furnishing condition.
The buyer case on a completed building
The project is a ready, furnished and serviced product in Business Bay on the Dubai Canal, near Downtown Dubai, Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall. [1] OffplanInsight analysis: that format may suit buyers considering immediate short-let or holiday-home use rather than a multi-year off-plan wait, subject to current licensing and building rules.
The trade-off is that returns and costs are already visible and must be tested, not projected. On a standing serviced building you can and should ask for the actual service charge, the management/operator arrangement, historical occupancy and any restrictions on short-term letting. An investor should compare the net yield after service and management charges against ordinary Business Bay apartments — the serviced format is not automatically superior.
Diligence checklist before money moves
- Confirm you are buying a resale/ready unit, not an off-plan contract; ignore any "handover date" for a completed building.
- Identify the tower (A or B), floor, orientation and canal/city view and match them to the actual unit.
- Get the current service charge and the management/operator agreement — serviced buildings carry higher recurring costs.
- Clarify whether short-term / holiday letting is permitted and who operates it, if that is your plan.
- Verify title status, any existing tenancy or hotel-pool commitment, and outstanding service-charge balances.
- Obtain a dated, unit-tied price and comparable recent Prive resale transactions before offering.
- Compare net yield with a non-serviced Business Bay apartment on the same budget.
This page carries no yield maths, appreciation promises or sales-pressure lines.
Bottom line
The location (Business Bay, Dubai Canal), developer (DAMAC), completed-in-2019 status and furnished studio/1BR/2BR serviced format are well supported by the sources we cite. [1] [2] Prices, exact service charges, letting permissions and operator terms were not sourced here and must be verified per unit. The main risk is mis-framing: this is a resale of a standing serviced building, not an off-plan launch. This site is independent research, not official DAMAC disclosure.
FAQ
Is DAMAC Maison Privé actually off-plan?
No. It was completed in 2019 and is occupied. [1] Purchases today are secondary-market resales, not pre-construction off-plan. If it is marketed to you as off-plan with a payment plan, re-verify carefully.
What kind of units are in the building?
Fully furnished studios, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom serviced apartments across two towers (1,046 furnished residences), on the Dubai Canal in Business Bay. [2] [1]
Can I use it as a short-term or holiday let?
The building operates as hotel-style serviced apartments, so short-stay use is common, but you must confirm the specific unit's letting permissions, operator arrangement and service costs before relying on that plan.
What is the price?
We do not publish one. No dated, unit-tied price sheet was sourced, and resale prices vary by tower, floor, view and furnishing. Request current comparable transactions.
Is there a handover date?
No future handover — the towers were completed in 2019. [1] Any "handover date" quoted for this building should be treated as a red flag and checked.
