32.6% Below Original Price | AED 1,160,000 Saving | 35.2% Below Seller Total Cost | Unobstructed Sea View | 1,075 Sq Ft | Smart Home | Semi-Furnished | 2 Bathrooms
One of the most dramatically priced distress listings available in Dubai Media City — a sea view apartment in Damac Casa being offered at AED 2,400,000 against an original purchase price of AED 3,560,000 (excluding DLD). The saving is AED 1,160,000 — representing 32.6% below the original price — one of the largest percentage discounts available on a sea view Dubai apartment at this moment. The seller's total documented acquisition cost, including 4% DLD paid on their original purchase (approximately AED 142,400), was approximately AED 3,702,400. The buyer at AED 2,400,000 enters approximately AED 1,302,400 below the seller's verified all-in cost — a saving of 35.2% against everything the seller paid. Even after the buyer's own DLD, agency, and admin (total all-in approximately AED 2,546,980), the buyer is still approximately AED 1,155,420 below the seller's documented total cost. This is not a modest discount or a negotiating position — it is a structurally significant and arithmetically verifiable distress exit from a premium Damac product in one of Dubai's most centrally located and media-industry-anchored communities, with unobstructed sea views, fully integrated smart home technology, and a 1,075 sq ft layout with 2 bathrooms in a low to mid floor position.

Understanding This Distress — 32.6% Below Original Price
A 32.6% discount on a DAMAC sea view apartment in Dubai Media City is not a routine price reduction or a negotiating position — it is a genuine, arithmetic, and verifiable distress exit from a premium asset. The seller originally paid AED 3,560,000 for this unit and also paid the 4% DLD registration fee (approximately AED 142,400) on top — bringing their total documented acquisition cost to approximately AED 3,702,400. They are now accepting AED 2,400,000. The seller receives AED 1,302,400 less than their total documented cost. They lose AED 1,160,000 on the purchase price alone. This is a seller who requires an urgent and immediate exit for personal or financial reasons that supersede any expectation of recovering their investment. For the buyer, the mathematics are equally clear: a 1,075 sq ft sea view smart home in Damac Casa, Dubai Media City — with 2 bathrooms and a semi-furnished specification — at AED 2,233 per sq ft versus the seller's original AED 3,312 per sq ft. The buyer's own all-in (AED 2,400,000 plus DLD plus agency plus admin = approximately AED 2,546,980) is still approximately AED 1,155,420 below what the seller originally paid in total. There are very few opportunities in the Dubai market where a buyer's total acquisition cost lands AED 1.15M below a verified prior purchase price on a premium sea view product in an established media and creative community.
About Damac Casa — Dubai Media City, Dubai
Damac Casa is a premium residential tower by DAMAC Properties within Dubai Media City — one of Dubai's most established and internationally connected free zone and business communities, home to the regional and global headquarters of leading media, technology, advertising, and creative companies. DAMAC Casa's positioning within Dubai Media City places residents at the intersection of one of Dubai's most professionally engaged and internationally mobile communities — with direct access to the media and creative industry lifestyle, the Al Sufouh and Marina waterfront corridor, and the Arabian Gulf sea view that the tower's frontage delivers. The fully integrated smart home specification is a defining feature of Damac Casa — providing residents with voice-controlled and app-managed lighting, climate, security, and entertainment systems throughout the apartment, creating an experience that most Dubai residential towers cannot match at this scale. The sea view from a low to mid floor position in Damac Casa delivers the Arabian Gulf panorama across the waterfront between Dubai Marina and the Palm Jumeirah — an open water view that is clear and expansive from this tower's orientation. At AED 2,400,000 for 1,075 sq ft with unobstructed sea views, smart home technology, 2 bathrooms, and a semi-furnished specification — 32.6% below the original price — this is the most competitively positioned sea view unit in Damac Casa available in the current market.

Layout and Floor Plan
This 1-bedroom apartment in Damac Casa spans 1,075 sq ft on a low to mid floor with unobstructed sea views. The inclusion of 2 bathrooms in a 1-bedroom layout is a notable premium specification — providing a master en-suite bathroom and a second bathroom for guests or household flexibility, a configuration more commonly found in larger apartment formats. The fully integrated smart home system is embedded throughout the layout: lighting, climate control, security, and entertainment are all controllable via voice commands or smartphone application, creating a living environment that reflects the media and technology-forward character of the Dubai Media City community. The sea view is unobstructed — the low to mid floor position delivers a direct Arabian Gulf panorama without adjacent structures blocking the water orientation. The semi-furnished specification includes some fittings and fixtures reducing the buyer's setup investment requirement above an unfurnished unit. Full floor plan with room dimensions, bathroom layout, kitchen configuration, balcony area, and exact building orientation are available on request from our team.
