1 Bedroom Apartment for Sale in Bayz 101, Business Bay — AED 2,428,000 | Selling at OP | Seller Below Total Documented Cost | Negotiable — Room to Go Below OP | 753 Sq Ft | AED 3,225/sqft | Danube Properties | Business Bay Dubai

Zero-Profit Seller Exit at OP | Seller Absorbs AED 97,120 Loss vs Total Cost | Negotiable — Explicit Room Below OP | 753 Sq Ft | AED 3,225/sqft | Bayz 101 | Business Bay | Danube Properties | Ref: DPF-BAY101-BB-1BR-753-001 | CADSEL

A clearly structured distress configuration in one of Business Bay’s most recognisable Danube residential towers — a seller exiting at exactly their original purchase price, making zero profit above what they paid, and explicitly stating the price is negotiable. The original purchase price is AED 2,428,000. The asking price is AED 2,428,000 — identical. The seller makes nothing above their OP. But the more definitive distress layer lies beneath: the seller’s total documented cost is not their OP alone — it is their OP plus the 4% DLD they paid at registration, which is approximately AED 2,525,120. By accepting AED 2,428,000, the seller is exiting at approximately AED 97,120 below their own total documented investment. They paid AED 2,525,120 to acquire this asset and are accepting AED 2,428,000 to sell it — a confirmed, documented exit loss of approximately AED 97,120 on their total outlay. The seller’s willingness to absorb that loss, rather than hold out for even their break-even total, confirms the motivation that defines this as a genuine distress configuration. The word “negotiable” compounds the opportunity significantly. When a seller who is already accepting a loss versus their total documented cost states that the price is negotiable, it means a buyer who engages immediately and tables a credible offer below AED 2,428,000 has a realistic prospect of securing this asset below the seller’s own original purchase price — a configuration that would convert this from a zero-profit seller exit into an outright below-OP acquisition. That conversion depends entirely on the buyer’s speed of engagement and the quality of their offer. The first buyer to arrive with a strong, clean offer captures the negotiation opportunity. The buyer who delays loses it to the next in line. Bayz 101 is Danube Properties’ Business Bay residential tower — a premium 101-storey landmark development in Dubai’s most commercially vibrant and most centrally connected mixed-use district. A 753 sq ft 1-bedroom apartment in Bayz 101 at AED 2,428,000 (AED 3,225/sqft) — at zero-profit OP pricing, with seller below total cost, and with an explicit negotiable status — is the most competitively priced and most transparently motivated distress entry into Bayz 101’s 1-bedroom secondary market currently available.

The Distress Architecture — Two Layers and a Negotiation Opportunity

Clarifying This Distress Configuration

This listing operates differently from a below-OP configuration where the seller explicitly accepts less than their original purchase price at the outset. Here, the seller’s asking price equals their OP exactly — zero profit above what they paid. The distress layers are: first, the seller absorbs a confirmed loss versus their total documented cost (OP plus DLD); and second, the seller’s own statement that the price is negotiable opens the door to a below-OP transaction for a buyer who engages immediately and makes a strong offer.

Layer 1 — Seller Exits at OP: Zero Profit, Confirmed Loss vs Total Cost

• OP: AED 2,428,000
• SP: AED 2,428,000
• Seller Net Above OP: Zero
• Seller DLD Paid: Approximately AED 97,120
• Seller Total Documented Cost: Approximately AED 2,525,120
• Seller Loss vs Total: Approximately AED 97,120
• Seller’s Position: Absorbing a confirmed AED 97,120 loss relative to their total documented investment

Layer 2 — The Negotiable Opportunity: Potential Below-OP Acquisition

• Stated SP: AED 2,428,000 (at OP)
• Seller’s Own Statement: Negotiable
• Implication: A buyer who engages immediately with a strong offer below AED 2,428,000 has an explicitly confirmed opening to negotiate the price below the seller’s own original purchase price
• Risk of Delay: The negotiation opportunity is available to the first serious buyer only — other buyers in the market will identify this motivated seller and close the window

Estimated Buyer All-In at Asking Price

• SP: AED 2,428,000
• Buyer DLD (4%): AED 97,120
• Buyer Admin: Approximately AED 580
• Buyer Agency (2% + VAT): Approximately AED 50,988
• Total Estimated Buyer All-In at Asking Price: Approximately AED 2,576,688

Note: if the buyer successfully negotiates below AED 2,428,000 — which the seller’s own negotiable statement confirms as a realistic outcome — the buyer’s all-in reduces proportionally, with both the purchase price and the DLD component (calculated on the transacted price) falling below the stated figures. Every AED 50,000 negotiated below the asking price reduces the buyer’s all-in by approximately AED 52,000 (AED 50,000 on the price plus the proportional DLD reduction).

The “Negotiable” Designation — Why It Matters More Than Usual

In the Dubai residential secondary market, the word “negotiable” appears on many listings as a default marketing convention that frequently signals very limited actual negotiation room — a 1% or 2% tolerance from the asking price that is conventional rather than meaningful. This listing is different in a specific and structurally important way: the seller is already accepting AED 97,120 below their total documented cost at the stated asking price. A seller who has already conceded their DLD, accepted zero profit above their original purchase price, and still states that the price is negotiable is communicating something more substantive than the conventional use of the term. They are signalling genuine flexibility — and in context, genuine flexibility from a zero-profit OP asking price means the realistic negotiation range extends into below-OP territory. A buyer who engages with a well-structured offer of AED 2,300,000 to AED 2,380,000 — or whatever their market intelligence on Bayz 101 comparables supports — has a motivated seller who has already demonstrated their willingness to accept a loss. The negotiation outcome depends on the buyer’s speed, the quality of their offer structure, and the seller’s specific exit timeline pressure. What is clear is that the opportunity to negotiate below the OP on a Bayz 101 1-bedroom in Business Bay exists with this seller — and that opportunity is available to the first buyer to engage, not to every buyer who enquires.

About Bayz 101 — Danube Properties, Business Bay, Dubai

Bayz 101 is Danube Properties’ landmark 101-storey mixed-use residential tower in Business Bay — a development that represents one of the most ambitious tower projects Danube has undertaken and one of the most prominent new-build residential addresses in Business Bay’s evolving skyline. The Bayz 101 address places residents at the centre of Business Bay’s premium mixed-use ecosystem — the Dubai Canal waterfront, the Downtown Dubai and Burj Khalifa corridor, DIFC, the Sheikh Zayed Road business spine, and the City Walk and Bay Avenue retail and lifestyle programme are all within immediate connectivity range. Business Bay’s positioning as Dubai’s most centrally connected and most professionally diverse commercial and residential district makes it the reference standard for urban apartment living in the city — proximity to DIFC, Downtown, and the Canal simultaneously, within a district that has consistently attracted the most active short-term and long-term rental demand of any central Dubai address. A 753 sq ft 1-bedroom in Bayz 101 at AED 2,428,000 (AED 3,225/sqft) — at the seller’s zero-profit OP, below their total documented cost, and with explicit negotiation room below OP — is the most clearly motivated and most accessibly priced distress entry into Bayz 101’s 1-bedroom secondary market at the current date.

Investment Case — Zero-Profit Seller, Negotiable, Business Bay Bayz 101

The investment case for this Bayz 101 1-bedroom at AED 2,428,000 (and potentially below, given the negotiable status) rests on three compounding propositions. First, the motivated seller pricing: a seller who makes zero above their OP, absorbs a confirmed AED 97,120 loss versus their total documented cost, and still states the price is negotiable is the most structurally motivated seller profile that the Bayz 101 secondary market produces. The buyer enters at — or potentially below — the seller’s own original purchase price in a tower and district where secondary market values have moved materially since launch. Second, the Business Bay rental premium: a 1-bedroom apartment in Bayz 101 at AED 3,225/sqft attracts the most active professional, executive, and short-term rental demand profile in Dubai’s central apartment market — the DIFC and Downtown professional population, the corporate short-term rental market, and the international visitor market that makes Business Bay consistently one of the highest-occupancy short-term rental districts in the city. A below-market or at-OP acquisition at the distress price creates the most favourable yield-on-cost foundation available for this product type at this address. Third, the negotiation upside: if the buyer successfully negotiates below AED 2,428,000, they acquire an asset in one of Business Bay’s most prominent towers below the original developer launch price — a structural advantage that compounds over the asset’s hold period regardless of what short-term market movements occur after acquisition.
