Why the Price Qualifies as OP + DLD Covered

The agent states the seller is asking the original purchase price plus the Dubai Land Department transfer fee, with no resale premium on top. In practical terms, the buyer reimburses what the seller originally paid to the developer and to DLD, rather than paying for any market appreciation since launch.

The exact original purchase price was not supplied in the brief. If the DLD component is the standard 4% of the original price, the asking price would imply an original price of roughly AED 3,173,077; this is an estimate only and must be confirmed against the seller's SPA and DLD Oqood registration before any offer. Admin and registration charges may also form part of the seller's costs and should be clarified.

DPF has not been supplied with a dated DLD transaction or market comparison for this unit, so no below-market claim is made.

About the Project, Developer and Community

Bluewaters Bay is a residential project by Meraas, the Dubai developer behind Bluewaters Residences, City Walk and Port de La Mer. Market sources describe it as a two-tower waterfront development positioned between Bluewaters Island and The Beach at JBR, launched in late 2022 with one- to four-bedroom apartments and a limited number of penthouses. One-bedroom units were reported to launch from around AED 2.56 million, although launch pricing varied by tower, floor and view.

Bluewaters Island itself is a man-made island just off the JBR coastline, home to Ain Dubai, restaurants, retail and hotel offerings, and the existing Bluewaters Residences buildings. The setting appeals to buyers who want beachfront living close to Dubai Marina.

Layout, Floor and View

The agent confirms a one-bedroom layout of 85 sqm with a JBR and sea view. The tower, floor, unit number, bathroom count, balcony size and parking allocation were not supplied and should be confirmed with the agent and on the floor plan in the SPA. Exact view orientation should be verified against the developer's floor and stack plans.

Payment Plan and Handover

The agent states handover is expected in Q2 2027. Published market sources have quoted handover anywhere from Q1 to Q3 2027, so the current developer date should be confirmed directly with Meraas or through the SPA. The project was widely marketed with a back-loaded plan that included a large payment on handover; the amount already paid by this seller and the balance still due to the developer were not supplied and must be confirmed before purchase.

Location and Connectivity

Bluewaters is linked to the mainland by the Bluewaters Bridge from Sheikh Zayed Road and by a pedestrian bridge to The Beach at JBR, putting Dubai Marina and JBR within easy reach. Specific travel times have not been verified for this listing.
