Why the Price Qualifies as Below Market
The asking price of AED 6,000,000 for 1,677 sq ft (AED 3,578 per sq ft) is assessed against active resale listings, DLD transaction data and the developer starting price for 3-bedroom apartments in Verve.
Active Resale Comparisons
Two active resale listings for 3-bedroom + maid apartments in Verve provide per-sqft benchmarks:
- Dubizzle (Tower B): 2,955 sq ft, corner unit (1 of 8 in the building), high floor, sea views, AED 10,700,000 (AED 3,620 per sq ft), listed May 2026
- Property Finder (Tower A): 3,398 sq ft, unfurnished, skyline views, AED 14,500,000 (AED 4,267 per sq ft), listed October 2026
The agent's per-sqft rate of AED 3,578 is 1.2% below the Tower B corner listing (AED 3,620 per sq ft) and 16.1% below the Tower A listing (AED 4,267 per sq ft). Both comparables are for significantly larger layouts (2,955 and 3,398 sq ft versus 1,677 sq ft). These larger units are premium configurations within the 3-bedroom category, including a rare corner layout and an oversized floor plan. The per-sqft rate is the most meaningful benchmark when comparing different-sized units in the same building.
Developer Starting Price Context
The developer starting price for 3-bedroom apartments in Verve is AED 5,500,000 for 1,682 sq ft (AED 3,270 per sq ft), as published by opr.ae and Metropolitan. This starting price represents the base-specification unit at the lowest floor with the least premium view. The agent's unit has Coca-Cola Arena and Burj Khalifa views, which is a premium orientation. DLD primary registrations for 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom units in Verve show that actual purchase prices ranged from 12% to 27% above the published starting prices for those types, reflecting premiums for higher floors and better views. Applying a similar premium to the 3-bedroom starting price suggests the developer price for a Burj view unit would be in the range of AED 6,200,000 to AED 7,000,000, placing the agent's AED 6,000,000 at or below the likely original purchase price. However, the exact developer price for this specific unit is not publicly available.
DLD Transaction Context
Eight DLD transactions have been recorded for Verve, all classified as off-plan (primary registrations):
- 1-bedroom: 4 transactions from AED 2,250,000 to AED 2,662,000 (788 to 850 sq ft, AED 2,855 to AED 3,132 per sq ft)
- 2-bedroom: 3 transactions from AED 3,492,000 to AED 4,550,000 (1,174 to 1,510 sq ft, AED 2,975 to AED 3,136 per sq ft)
- 5-bedroom penthouse: 1 transaction at AED 30,700,000 (9,227 sq ft, AED 3,327 per sq ft)
No 3-bedroom transactions have been recorded, so direct DLD comparison is not available. The per-sqft range across all recorded transactions is AED 2,855 to AED 3,327, representing original purchase prices. The agent's rate of AED 3,578 per sq ft is above this range, which is expected for a resale listing seeking to recover costs including transfer fees and payment plan interest.
View and Position
The apartment faces the Coca-Cola Arena and the Burj Khalifa. The Coca-Cola Arena is a 17,000-capacity indoor entertainment venue located within City Walk, directly adjacent to the Verve towers. It hosts concerts, sporting events, comedy shows and exhibitions year-round. The Burj Khalifa is visible from the eastern side of City Walk across the Al Wasl corridor toward Downtown Dubai. This orientation provides a close-range view of the Arena and its surroundings combined with a skyline view anchored by the Burj Khalifa. The exact floor is not specified in the brief.
First Market Price
The agent describes this as a first market price listing, meaning it is the first time this unit has appeared on the secondary resale market. The current owner purchased directly from Meraas and is now offering the unit for resale before handover. No original purchase price has been disclosed. The first market price description is a characteristic of the listing, not a pricing claim or discount category.

Verification Notes
Unit-specific facts including 3-bedroom + maid configuration, 1,677 sq ft, Coca-Cola Arena and Burj Khalifa view, asking price of AED 6,000,000 and handover Q3 2028 are sourced from the agent's brief received on 5 October 2026. The 4-bathroom count is sourced from comparable 3-bedroom + maid listings in Verve on Metropolitan (MPS-50107) and Property Finder (ref 123837189), both showing 4 bathrooms for 3BR+Maid layouts. The 2-parking allocation is sourced from the Metropolitan listing and the Property Finder listing, both showing 2 covered spaces. The Below Market classification is based on per-sqft comparison with two active resale listings for 3-bedroom + maid apartments in Verve: a 2,955 sq ft corner unit in Tower B at AED 3,620 per sq ft (Dubizzle, May 2026) and a 3,398 sq ft unit in Tower A at AED 4,267 per sq ft (Property Finder, October 2026). These comparables are for significantly larger layouts (2,955 and 3,398 sq ft versus 1,677 sq ft), which limits like-for-like comparison. No DLD transactions for 3-bedroom apartments in Verve exist for direct price benchmarking. The developer starting price of AED 5,500,000 (AED 3,270 per sq ft) is for the base-specification 3-bedroom at 1,682 sq ft; the developer price for a premium-view higher-floor unit is not publicly available. The agent did not provide the unit number, tower, exact floor, original purchase price, amount paid to date, furnishing status or service charge. The floor level, view orientation and first market price description are the agent's claims and are not independently verified. The description first market price is treated as a listing characteristic per DPF editorial policy, not as a deal type or pricing claim.
