Why the Price Qualifies as Below OP

The comparison is against the original price supplied in the agent's resale brief of 9 October 2026: AED 1,855,000, which the agent says includes the Dubai Land Department (DLD) fee. Subtracting the AED 1,650,000 asking price gives a difference of AED 205,000, or 11.1% of the stated figure. At 754 sq ft, the asking price works out to roughly AED 2,188 per sq ft.

Because the AED 1,855,000 benchmark includes DLD, the underlying purchase price before fees would be lower than that figure. Even if the full 4% DLD fee is removed from the stated total, the implied base price of roughly AED 1.78 million remains above the asking price, so the unit still sits below its original purchase cost. Buyers should confirm the exact original SPA price and the DLD amount actually paid before relying on the percentage.

The agent also describes this as the lowest-priced one-bedroom in the building. That is the agent's own marketing claim; DPF has not independently verified it against current listings or registered transactions.

About the Project, Developer and Community

Marina Living is a residential tower in Dubai Marina developed by LMD, a developer that has also traded under the Continental Investments name. In its handover announcement, LMD described Marina Living as a 20-storey tower of 205 apartments offering one- and two-bedroom homes, and confirmed that handover of the building has been completed. The building is therefore a recently completed, ready project rather than an off-plan resale.

Dubai Marina is one of Dubai's established waterfront communities, built around a man-made canal lined with residential towers, restaurants, cafés and shops along the Marina promenade. It is a mature rental and resale market with a large stock of apartments, which gives buyers plenty of comparable units to benchmark against.

Layout, Floor and View

The agent describes a 754 sq ft one-bedroom unit on a high floor. Bathroom count, unit number, exact floor and view were not supplied, so they are not stated here. Ask the agent for the floor plan and title deed details before viewing.

Payment and Handover

The building has been handed over, and the agent states the unit is vacant, so it should be available for immediate use once the transfer is completed. No payment plan was supplied; this appears to be a ready resale transaction. Confirm the transfer costs, any outstanding service charges and the SPA or title deed details with the seller's agent.

Location and Connectivity

According to LMD's handover announcement, residents have direct access to the Marina promenade with its retail and dining, and Dubai Metro and Dubai Tram connections are within walking distance. Dubai Marina also sits beside Jumeirah Beach Residence and Sheikh Zayed Road. Check actual travel times for your own routes during a viewing.
