The vision behind Chelsea Residence and its football-branded DNA

Chelsea Residence by DAMAC fuses sport, architecture, and exclusive urban living within Dubai Maritime City. Inspired by Chelsea FC’s heritage, the development promotes a lifestyle defined by structure, competitiveness, and elevation.

Gensler, a global architecture leader, shaped the sleek façade in glass and metal, creating movement-driven lines that echo athletic performance. Shared spaces reflect club-level interiors, while fitness programming channels elite training standards.

Curated by Todd Kline of Chelsea FC and Amira Sajwani, Managing Director at DAMAC, the concept centres on physical excellence and mental resilience. Its highlight is the Stamford Summit, a rooftop retreat that captures the emotion of match day in West London.

Prime waterfront location in Dubai Maritime City

Set between heritage and modernity, Dubai Maritime City delivers more than panoramic sea views: it assures seamless accessibility. The peninsula lies next to Port Rashid and the historic Queen Elizabeth 2 ocean liner, blending Dubai’s maritime legacy with its economic ambitions.

Chelsea Residences stands at the heart of this revival. Proximity to key gateways safeguards both lifestyle and asset value. Travel times are concise:

  • Port Rashid: 5 minutes
  • Queen Elizabeth 2: 6 minutes
  • DIFC: 12 minutes
  • Downtown Dubai: 15 minutes
  • Dubai International Airport: 18 minutes

For international buyers, the address sits within designated freehold areas, granting full ownership. Combined with DAMAC’s track record and curated amenities, this waterfront setting positions the project as a gateway investment in a rising strategic quarter.

Unit mix and floor plans: from 1 bedroom to penthouse

At Chelsea Residences by DAMAC, intelligent design meets sea-facing luxury. Homes range from one-bedroom apartments to full-floor penthouses, each layout maximizing light, privacy, and spatial efficiency.

One-, two-, and three-bedroom units feature open kitchens, functional living areas, and full-height windows framing the Arabian Gulf. Larger four-bedroom residences and penthouses add extended terraces, en-suite bathrooms in every room, and panoramic views of the marina and horizon. Select configurations are available to explore in 3D, with corner units enjoying uninterrupted vistas.

  • 1 bedroom: approximately 750-850 sq ft
  • 2 bedrooms: approximately 1,000-1,250 sq ft
  • 3 bedrooms: approximately 1,500-1,850 sq ft
  • 4 bedrooms: approximately 2,200-2,500 sq ft
  • Penthouse: 3 500 sq ft and above

Exclusive amenities that elevate everyday life

Luxury is the framework at Chelsea Residences. Amenities are curated to enhance daily routines and overall well-being, making the development appealing to professionals, families, and long-term investors alike.

  • Football simulation room for immersive practice and play
  • Serenity Spa featuring hydrotherapy and bespoke rain therapy
  • Starlit Wellness Centre with 24-hour fitness facilities under a celestial backdrop
  • Underwater-themed kids’ area that is safe and visually engaging
  • Manicured blue-sand beach offering a rare private coastal escape within the city

All experiences form part of the ownership package, aligning a competitive payment plan with a lifestyle upgrade.

Investment case: projected ROI, yield, and resale value

Off-plan estimates suggest capital appreciation of 20-25 percent by handover. Comparable DAMAC towers in emerging districts have yielded 7-9 percent gross annual rent. Given its waterfront setting and premium amenities, Chelsea Residences is expected to meet or exceed these returns. 

Exit strategies are reinforced by flexible payment plans and eligibility for the UAE Golden Visa on investments above AED 2 million (around 409,000 GBP). To protect upside potential, Guardians Prime recommends:

  1. Use our market analysis to monitor supply dynamics near completion.
  2. Adopt the developer payment schedule to benefit from 0 percent interest and fixed milestones.
  3. Secure legal review before signing the sales and purchase agreement.

  2. Property selection: shortlist units based on ROI, location, and developer credibility.
  3. Financial planning
  4. Legal assistance: coordinate documents and oversee the SPA directly with the developer.
  5. Down payment transfer
  6. Official transfer: register ownership through the Dubai Land Department procedure.
