Sunset Bay 5
Sunset Bay 5 is an Imtiaz Developments residential building on Dubai Island, Dubai, offering furnished apartments with sea views. This guide helps buyers weighing a Sunset Bay 5 distress sale, below original price or off-plan resale listing, covering layouts, rooftop amenities and the transfer checks to complete.
Sunset Bay 5 overview
Sunset Bay 5 is a residential building by Imtiaz Developments on Dubai Islands, Dubai. Imtiaz presents it as an island retreat built around balance and simplicity, with open views of the sea and sky and an easy, unhurried pace of life. Its layered terraces and low-rise form are designed to make the most of the coastal setting.
DPF places Sunset Bay 5 in the Dubai Island community, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Imtiaz describes Dubai Islands as a waterfront destination with coastal living and easy access to the mainland and other parts of the city. Developers and agents use both "Dubai Island" and "Dubai Islands"; DPF's community page uses the singular form.
Imtiaz Developments and the building
Imtiaz Developments lists Sunset Bay 5 on its official website, along with construction progress updates. The building is under construction, so resales are transfers of off-plan contracts. Imtiaz gives an anticipated completion and handover date on its project page; check the latest date with the developer before relying on any advert.
One DPF listing links to a separate Imtiaz developer route, but DPF's maintained developer page for the company is the one linked here.
Layouts and interiors
According to Imtiaz, Sunset Bay 5 offers:
- One-bedroom apartments
- Two-bedroom apartments
- Three-bedroom apartments
Imtiaz says the residences come fully furnished with bespoke interiors, premium finishes and spacious balconies or terraces facing the water. It also mentions EV charging facilities. Since furniture is part of the offer, confirm the inventory included in a resale, and check the unit's floor, orientation and size against the sale and purchase agreement.
Amenities
Imtiaz's amenity list for Sunset Bay 5 includes:
- A rooftop infinity pool and Jacuzzi
- A fully equipped gym and a clubhouse
- An outdoor dining and barbecue area with seating
- A children's playground
- A sunken lounge terrace and changing rooms
These shared spaces suit residents who want a quiet, resort-style home rather than a busy tower. Ask how the building will be managed after handover and what the service charges are expected to include.
Because Dubai Islands is still taking shape, it is worth looking at how the surrounding roads, beaches and shops are progressing when you weigh a unit here. Visit the site if you can, compare the construction photos Imtiaz publishes with what you see, and ask the seller whether they have received any updates from the developer about finishes or furniture packages. A clear picture of the neighbourhood and the build stage makes it easier to judge any resale offer.
Finding distressed and below-market units in Sunset Bay 5
A Sunset Bay 5 distress sale is most often an off-plan resale by someone who no longer wants to fund the build-stage instalments, or a motivated seller whose plans have changed before completion. Descriptions on DPF such as below market or below original price are supplied with the listing, and DPF neither appraises the unit nor checks the benchmark used.
Imtiaz describes a payment plan with a booking deposit, instalments during construction and a balance due on completion. Before agreeing terms on a unit in Sunset Bay 5, check:
- Oqood: the registration must show the seller as owner of the same unit described in the contract.
- Payment plan status: request an Imtiaz statement showing which instalments have been paid.
- Seller's outstanding balance: agree in writing who pays the remaining instalments and the completion balance.
- Developer NOC: Imtiaz must issue a no-objection certificate before the transfer.
- DLD transfer: register the change of ownership with the Dubai Land Department and allocate fees.
- Service charges: ask Imtiaz for an indication of service charges once the building opens.
Getting an independent conveyancer and a RERA-registered agent to review the file is sensible.
