Property prices in Venice, DAMAC Lagoons
Venice's own DLD data covers land (plot) transactions only — 20 registered sales in the trailing 12 months to June 2026, with a median plot price of AED 6,900,000 (Source: DLD, Trailing 12 months to 2026-06). The DLD data note flags that all transactions fall under DAMAC Lagoons – Venice (1), so per-sq-ft figures are not available for this sub-community. For broader apartment pricing context, the figures below draw on community-wide DAMAC Lagoons data, which is heavily skewed by the Valencia sub-community and should be treated as indicative only.
| Venice — median plot price | AED 6,900,000 |
|---|---|
| Venice — plot price range | AED 927,080 – AED 24,500,000 |
| Venice — plot transactions (12 months) | 20 |
| DAMAC Lagoons — median apt price/sq ft (all) | AED 1,860 |

| DAMAC Lagoons — median 1-bed price | AED 1,262,000 |

Important note: All apartment/price-per-sqft figures above are community-wide across DAMAC Lagoons and are dominated by the Valencia sub-community (up to 88% of transactions in some segments). They are not specific to Venice. Venice's own DLD records show plot sales only, with no per-sqft data available. Off-plan share across DAMAC Lagoons is 100%, meaning virtually all registered transactions are developer/off-plan sales rather than secondary resale transfers.

Living in Venice, DAMAC Lagoons: the honest take
Venice appeals to buyers seeking a villa-plot lifestyle in a lagoon-themed, low-density setting away from the city core. The canal-inspired streetscape and community amenities — including waterfront promenades, fitness facilities and planned retail — create a resort-like atmosphere suited to families who prioritise space and greenery over urban convenience. The proximity to Expo City Dubai and Al Maktoum International Airport makes it practical for frequent travellers, and the freehold status opens ownership to all nationalities.
Things to consider
Venice is a developing sub-community within a large master plan, meaning construction activity from neighbouring phases may be ongoing for some time. Daily necessities require a drive, as walkable retail is still maturing. The Metro is not within walking distance, making car ownership effectively essential. DLD data for Venice specifically is thin — only 20 plot transactions in 12 months — so price discovery for resale plots can be challenging, and the wide price range (AED 927,080 to AED 24,500,000) reflects significant variation in plot sizes and positioning. Community-wide apartment data is dominated by the Valencia sub-community and cannot be directly applied to Venice.
Is Venice, DAMAC Lagoons a good investment?
Venice recorded 20 plot sales in the trailing 12 months to June 2026, with a median transaction price of AED 6,900,000 (Source: DLD, Trailing 12 months to 2026-06). No year-on-year price change data is available for this sub-community specifically, so capital growth trends cannot be confirmed from DLD records alone. The DLD data flags that the sample is skewed by a single registration sub-project, and per-sqft metrics are unavailable for land. Across DAMAC Lagoons as a whole, the off-plan share in DLD records stands at 100%, meaning the secondary resale market is still nascent and liquidity for resale plots may be limited in the near term. Buyers considering Venice for investment should weigh the community's long-term master plan credentials and proximity to Expo City Dubai against the current absence of meaningful resale comparables and the dependency on developer-driven price discovery. Consulting a RERA-registered broker with access to live DLD data is strongly recommended before committing.
