Save AED 300,000 vs OP | Super Distress — Buyer All-In Approximately AED 275,720 Below Seller Total | High Floor | LIV Maritime | Dubai Harbour | LIV Developers
A distress sale of genuine and documented depth in one of Dubai Harbour's most premium residential addresses. Original price AED 2,000,000. Distress asking price AED 1,700,000. Saving AED 300,000 — precisely 15% below the seller's documented original purchase price. The headline is compelling. But the deeper layer — the super distress calculation — is the number that defines this opportunity most clearly: the seller's total documented cost including the 4% DLD they paid at registration is approximately AED 2,080,000. The buyer's own all-in — AED 1,700,000 plus buyer DLD (4%), agency (2% plus VAT), and admin — is approximately AED 1,804,280. That buyer all-in is approximately AED 275,720 below the seller's total documented investment. The buyer pays every transaction cost at their own expense and arrives at a fully-loaded acquisition figure approximately AED 275,720 lower than what the seller originally paid. This is super distress by its operational definition: a confirmed double-layer seller exit at a documented loss, and a buyer entry with structural equity before a single further price movement is assumed. High floor — the most premium elevation within LIV Maritime's residential stack, commanding the widest horizon views over Dubai Harbour, the Palm Jumeirah, and the Arabian Sea that the building's orientation captures. LIV Maritime is LIV Developers' flagship Dubai Harbour residential project — a tower that has established itself as one of the most architecturally and experientially distinctive residential products delivered at the Dubai Harbour address. At AED 1,700,000 — 15% below OP — this high-floor 1-bedroom is the most clearly documented distress entry into LIV Maritime currently visible in the secondary market.

The buyer pays AED 1,700,000 plus their own DLD, agency, and admin — approximately AED 1,804,280 total. The buyer all-in is approximately AED 275,720 below what the seller originally invested. The seller exits at a confirmed, fully documented loss of approximately AED 380,000 relative to their total cost. The buyer enters at structural equity of approximately AED 275,720 relative to the seller's own cost basis — from the first day of ownership.
High Floor — The Premium Position in LIV Maritime
A high-floor apartment in LIV Maritime is a specifically and materially different product from a mid-floor or low-floor equivalent in the same building. At Dubai Harbour — a waterfront development positioned between the Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina that was built specifically to create a premier maritime lifestyle address — elevation is the determinant of view quality, and view quality in LIV Maritime is the primary driver of the premium that the building's residential market consistently produces. A high-floor LIV Maritime 1-bedroom commands unobstructed panoramic views across Dubai Harbour, the adjacent marina, the Palm Jumeirah silhouette, and the open Arabian Sea horizon — a view composition that LIV Developers specifically designed the building's orientation and glazing to maximise. At lower floors, neighbouring structures, the marina infrastructure, and the Harbour's built environment begin to interrupt the view geometry. At a high floor, none of those interruptions exist — only open horizon in the primary view directions. For a buyer, the high-floor designation is a permanent positional attribute embedded in the unit's relationship to the building's floor plate — it cannot be replicated by renovation or upgrade. At AED 1,700,000 — 15% below OP — the high-floor premium is being transferred to the buyer as part of the distress price rather than as a premium above a market-rate asking price.
About LIV Maritime — LIV Developers, Dubai Harbour
LIV Maritime is LIV Developers' flagship residential project at Dubai Harbour — one of the most significantly positioned and most architecturally ambitious residential developments delivered at the Dubai Harbour address. LIV Developers has established itself as one of the Dubai residential market's most design-focused boutique developers — known for the quality of interior specification, the attention to architectural detail, and the amenity programme that distinguishes LIV projects from the volume-developer residential product that dominates the Dubai new-launch market at comparable price points. LIV Maritime specifically is a maritime-lifestyle-themed residential tower — designed to maximise its Dubai Harbour position, with views oriented to capture the widest possible water and horizon outlook, amenities that extend the Dubai Harbour lifestyle concept into the building's own programming, and an interior specification that reflects the premium residential standard LIV Developers has built its reputation around. Dubai Harbour is the master development positioned immediately adjacent to Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah — providing a premium waterfront residential address that combines the established lifestyle infrastructure of Dubai Marina with the newer, less-congested, more marina-focused character of the Harbour itself. A high-floor 1-bedroom in LIV Maritime at AED 1,700,000 — 15% below OP, buyer all-in below seller total — is the most competitive distress entry into this specific building and address combination currently available in the secondary market.

Investment Case — 15% Below OP, Buyer All-In Below Seller Total, High Floor Dubai Harbour
The investment case for this LIV Maritime high-floor 1-bedroom at AED 1,700,000 operates across three simultaneous value drivers. First, the documented distress equity: the buyer enters at AED 300,000 below the seller's original price with a buyer all-in that is approximately AED 275,720 below the seller's total documented cost — structural equity from day one derived directly from the seller's disclosed OP figure rather than from any market projection. Second, the high-floor premium delivered at the distress price: a high-floor apartment in LIV Maritime commands the widest panoramic views available in the building — a designation that drives rental premiums and resale premiums above lower-floor equivalents regardless of broader market conditions. The buyer acquires this permanent positional premium at AED 300,000 below the seller's purchase price. Third, the Dubai Harbour address and trajectory: Dubai Harbour is among the most consistently appreciating waterfront addresses in Dubai's current residential cycle — a master development with significant committed infrastructure including the Superyacht Marina, the hospitality programme, and the ongoing retail and F&B activation that progressively matures the community's lifestyle profile and supports sustained capital value growth. A high-floor LIV Maritime apartment acquired at 15% below OP with buyer all-in below seller total sits at the most favourable entry point the secondary market has produced for this building in the current cycle.
