1 Bedroom Sea View Apartment for Sale in Damac Casa, Dubai Media City — Distress AED 2,400,000
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

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the distress price and how does 32.6% below OP compare to the wider market?
The distress price is AED 2,400,000 against the seller’s original purchase price of AED 3,560,000 — a saving of AED 1,160,000 representing 32.6% below the original price. This is an extraordinary discount level for any Dubai sea view apartment. Including the seller’s DLD of approximately AED 142,400, their total documented cost was approximately AED 3,702,400. 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. A 32.6% discount on a DAMAC sea view product in Dubai Media City is a genuine and exceptional distress situation — not a negotiating position.
Why is there a 32.6% discount?
The seller’s original purchase price was AED 3,560,000. They are now accepting AED 2,400,000 — losing AED 1,160,000 on the purchase price alone and absorbing a further AED 142,400 loss on their DLD payment. This level of discount reflects a seller whose personal or financial circumstances require an immediate, confirmed exit from this asset regardless of the financial loss involved. The nature, scale, and urgency of the seller’s circumstances are confirmed by the fact that they are willing to accept AED 1.3M less than their total documented acquisition cost. For the buyer, this is the direct and full benefit of the seller’s distress.
What is a fully integrated smart home and what does it include?
The fully integrated smart home specification in Damac Casa means the apartment is equipped with a comprehensive smart building technology system — allowing the resident to control lighting, air conditioning and climate, security, access, and entertainment systems via voice commands or a dedicated smartphone application. The smart home specification is embedded into the unit’s infrastructure from the original DAMAC installation — it is not an aftermarket addition — providing a seamless and integrated technology experience throughout the 1,075 sq ft layout. This is a feature typically associated with much larger and more expensive apartment formats and distinguishes Damac Casa from standard residential towers in the same price range.
What does the unobstructed sea view from a low to mid floor mean in practice?
The sea view in Damac Casa faces the Arabian Gulf — the open water adjacent to the Dubai Media City and Al Sufouh waterfront. Unobstructed means there are no adjacent structures blocking the water view from this specific unit’s orientation. A low to mid floor position delivers the sea view at a human-scale, immersive level — looking across the water at eye or near-eye level rather than from a high altitude aerial perspective. This view type is permanent and consistent throughout the unit’s life in this tower.
What does semi-furnished include?
Semi-furnished means the apartment includes some fittings, furniture, or built-in elements as part of the sale — typically covering items like kitchen cabinetry and appliances, wardrobes, and potentially selected furniture. The exact inventory of included items in this specific unit is available on request from our team as part of the property disclosure package for qualified buyers.
What is the handover date and status of this property?
The exact property status — whether ready for immediate transfer or an off-plan assignment with a future handover date — and the full payment plan schedule are available on request from our team. Contact us directly for complete property disclosure including status, handover timeline, and all relevant documentation.
Can all nationalities purchase in Dubai Media City?
Dubai Media City includes designated freehold areas permitting property ownership by all nationalities worldwide. Full freehold status for this specific unit in Damac Casa should be verified as part of due diligence. Our team will confirm ownership type and eligibility on request.
What are the total buyer costs?
Based on the asking price of AED 2,400,000: DLD transfer fee 4% (AED 96,000), DLD admin (approximately AED 580), agency commission 2% plus VAT (approximately AED 50,400). Total estimated all-in approximately AED 2,546,980. Still approximately AED 1,155,420 below the seller’s original total documented cost of AED 3,702,400.
What is the rental potential for a smart home sea view unit in Damac Casa, Dubai Media City?
Damac Casa in Dubai Media City attracts a tenant profile specific to the media, technology, advertising, and creative professional community — internationally mobile, design-conscious, and responsive to premium specifications including smart home technology, sea views, and building quality. The 2-bathroom configuration in a 1-bedroom layout, the sea view, and the smart home system each add measurable rental premium over standard 1-bedroom units in comparable buildings. Entering at AED 2,400,000 (AED 2,233/sqft) — 32.6% below the original price — creates a strong price-to-income foundation for both short-term and long-term rental strategies. Specific comparable rental rates and yield data for Damac Casa are available on request from our team.

This 1-bedroom sea view apartment in Damac Casa spans 1,075 sq ft with an unobstructed sea view facing the Arabian Gulf and a low to mid floor position.
