Payment & Handover

This is a distress resale of an off-plan unit in Chic Tower by Damac, Business Bay, with end-of-2026 handover. The seller's original purchase price was AED 2,067,000 (excluding DLD fees) and the asking price is AED 1,540,000 — a distress saving of AED 527,000, equating to approximately 25% below the original price. This is a motivated seller offering one of the deepest discounts seen on a Damac high-floor unit in Business Bay. As a secondary market resale, the buyer assumes the seller's contractual position with Damac and any outstanding instalment balance owed to the developer at the time of transfer becomes the buyer's responsibility. The full payment plan breakdown, total instalments paid to date, and exact outstanding Damac balance are available on request and must be reviewed and confirmed before proceeding. Total acquisition cost for the buyer comprises the agreed resale price of AED 1,540,000 plus any outstanding Damac balance, plus applicable Dubai Land Department transfer costs. DLD transfer costs include a standard 4% registration fee on the agreed transfer value, standard agency commission, and any Damac NOC or trustee fees. Note that the original price was stated exclusive of DLD fees — the buyer's DLD liability is calculated on the agreed resale price of AED 1,540,000. Mortgage financing options for near-completion off-plan units should be explored with UAE-licensed banks at the earliest opportunity given the end-of-2026 handover timeline. This is an outstanding entry point into one of Business Bay's most architecturally distinctive branded towers at a 25% discount.

Who is the developer of Chic Tower?

The tower is designed in collaboration with the prestigious Swiss jewellery and watchmaking house de GRISOGONO. Full developer documentation is available on request.

What does best unit in the building mean for this apartment?

The seller explicitly identifies this unit as the best in Chic Tower by virtue of its high-floor position and the view it commands. In a tower of this height in Business Bay, the highest floors deliver the most unobstructed and expansive panoramas — typically encompassing the Dubai Water Canal, Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai skyline, DIFC towers, and the wider city horizon. This view scarcity is a proven driver of rental premiums and resale value above equivalent units on lower floors. Exact floor number, stack orientation, and view specifics are available on request.

What is the size and layout of this apartment?

The apartment is a 1-bedroom unit spanning 830 sq ft (77 m²). The exact number of bathrooms, balcony dimensions, and room-by-room layout details are available on request. Please contact our team for Damac's official floor plan drawing and all technical specifications.

What are the total transfer and acquisition costs for this distress resale?

Note: the original price of AED 2,067,000 was stated excluding DLD — the buyer's DLD liability is based on the agreed resale price, not the original price. Full cost breakdown is available on request.
