Why the Price Qualifies as Below Market

Emirates.Estate data shows the average asking price for 1 bedroom apartments in Dubai Marina at approximately AED 1,606,000, with a median of AED 1,550,000. At AED 1,500,000, this unit is priced below both the average and median for Dubai Marina 1 bedrooms, despite being in a premium landmark building with significantly higher-specification finishes and amenities than a typical Dubai Marina tower.

At the building level, Property Finder reports the average price per sq.ft for Marina 101 at approximately AED 2,600. At AED 1,517 per sq.ft, this unit is priced 42% below that building average. The building average is influenced by larger premium apartments and penthouses at higher per-sqft rates, so this gap should be interpreted in that context.

A comparable 1 bedroom in Marina 101 is listed on Property Finder at AED 1,999,999 for a larger unit of 1,610 sq.ft (AED 1,242 per sq.ft). While that unit has a lower per-sqft rate, the total asking price is AED 500,000 higher. For a buyer seeking a 1 bedroom entry point in Marina 101, this unit at AED 1,500,000 represents the lower total cost option.

These benchmarks are based on portal asking prices and market statistics, not completed DLD transactions. Buyers should obtain an independent valuation.

About Marina 101

Marina 101 is a 101-storey mixed-use tower in Dubai Marina, developed by Sheffield Holding. The tower is one of the tallest residential buildings in the Dubai Marina skyline. The lower floors house a hotel component, the middle section contains serviced one and two bedroom hotel apartments, and the upper section features luxury three bedroom apartments and penthouses.

The building is finished with premium materials including Spanish marble, German fixtures, and Japanese high-speed elevators. Amenities include dual infinity pools at mid-level and ultra-high positions in the tower, a branded fine-dining restaurant on the 101st floor, fitness and wellness facilities, a retail podium, 24-hour concierge, and 24-hour security.

Marina 101 has had an extended construction timeline. Construction began in 2008 with an original handover target of 2010, which was revised multiple times. The building has now been completed, and handovers for residential units are expected shortly. The building's construction history and delayed delivery are factors that buyers should assess as part of their due diligence.

Verification Notes

The bedroom count, size, building completion status, and asking price are sourced from the agent's resale brief received on 14 August 2026. The bathroom count, floor number, view, parking allocation, and furnishing status were not stated and have been omitted. A matching Property Finder listing for this unit describes it as fully furnished, but this has not been confirmed in the agent's brief to DPF. The below-market comparison uses Emirates.Estate Dubai Marina 1BR market data and Property Finder Marina 101 building statistics. Given Marina 101's extended construction history, buyers should exercise particular diligence in verifying the handover date, completion certificate status, service charge structure, and building management arrangements before proceeding. An independent legal review is recommended.
