Urgent Sale at OP+DLD: 2-Bedroom High Floor Sea View in Marina Shores by Emaar, Dubai Marina

Selling at Cost – 2BR High Floor Sea View in Marina Shores, Dubai Marina at AED 2,900,000 (OP + DLD)

One of the most genuinely transparent distress deals available in Dubai Marina — a high floor 2-bedroom apartment with sea views in Marina Shores by Emaar, offered at AED 2,900,000 representing exactly the seller’s total cost basis: the original purchase price (OP) plus the 4% Dubai Land Department (DLD) fee they paid at the time of purchase. The seller makes zero profit. This means the buyer acquires a high floor, sea view, Emaar-quality unit in one of Dubai Marina’s most prestigious new towers at a price that simply reflects what the seller originally invested — a rare, fully transparent, cost-at-basis distress entry into an asset that commands a significant market premium.

What OP+DLD Means — Why This Deal Matters

In Dubai’s real estate market, OP+DLD is one of the most compelling and transparent deal structures a buyer can encounter:

• OP (Original Price) — The amount the current seller originally paid Emaar for this unit at launch
• DLD (Dubai Land Department fee) — The 4% transfer fee the seller paid when they originally registered the property
• OP+DLD combined = AED 2,900,000 — The total cost the seller has invested in this property
• Zero seller profit — The seller receives exactly what they spent, nothing more. This is a genuine distress sale driven by motivation to exit, not a profit-driven price
• Buyer advantage — Current market values for high floor sea view 2-bedroom units in Marina Shores reflect a significant premium above this level, meaning the buyer acquires immediate equity on acquisition

This type of deal is rare. When a seller offers at OP+DLD, it signals maximum motivation and genuine urgency — the opposite of a speculative asking price.
