Why the Price Qualifies as Below OP

The benchmark is the seller's original purchase price of AED 1,195,000, from the agent brief received on 14 October 2026. The asking price of AED 1,087,818 is AED 107,182 lower, equal to 9.0% of OP. The agent also describes the deal as below OP plus DLD. Adding the standard 4% Dubai Land Department fee (AED 47,800) gives AED 1,242,800, so the asking price is AED 154,982 (12.5%) below that combined figure. Dividing the asking price by 742 sq ft gives about AED 1,466 per sq ft.

This compares the price only with the seller's own purchase cost. It is not a claim that the unit is below current market value.

About the Project, Developer and Community

Vega is a 23-storey residential tower by Acube Developments in Dubai Sports City. At groundbreaking the developer announced 129 residences across studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. Dubai Sports City is an established mixed-use community built around sports venues and a championship golf course.

Layout, Floor and View

The agent describes a 742 sq ft one-bedroom apartment. Floor, view, bathroom count and parking have not been supplied and should be confirmed from the SPA and the unit floor plan.

Payment Plan and Handover

According to the agent, the seller has paid AED 303,779 to date and AED 845,649 remains payable. Together these total AED 1,149,428, which is AED 45,572 less than the stated AED 1,195,000 original price. The difference may reflect a discount, a fee or a different basis for the paid figure, and should be reconciled against the developer's statement of account.

If the buyer takes over the AED 845,649 balance with the developer, the amount payable to the seller would be about AED 242,169. This is an indicative calculation only; the actual split depends on the transfer agreement.

The agent gives handover as June 2030. When construction began, Acube announced a scheduled handover in Q2 2027, so June 2030 may refer to the end of a post-handover payment plan rather than the handover date itself. Confirm both dates in the SPA before committing.

Location and Connectivity

Dubai Sports City sits off Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Umm Suqeim Street, near Motor City, Jumeirah Village Circle and Arjan. Exact travel times depend on the route and time of day and have not been verified for this listing.
