An extreme super distress configuration of the most exceptional depth in one of the world's most prestigious luxury crystal-brand residential addresses — a seller exiting at AED 20,000,000 on a 2,625 sq ft city-view 2-bedroom in Baccarat Hotel and Residences Tower 1, Downtown Dubai, against an original purchase price of AED 23,381,699 and a total documented cost including DLD paid of AED 24,316,967. The distress asking price is AED 20,000,000 — saving exactly AED 3,381,699 (14.47%) below the seller's documented original purchase price. The seller's total documented cost — OP plus the 4% DLD of AED 935,268 paid at registration — is AED 24,316,967. By accepting AED 20,000,000, the seller exits at AED 4,316,967 (17.75%) below their total documented investment. The buyer's own all-in — AED 20,000,000 plus buyer DLD (4%), agency (2% plus VAT), and admin — is approximately AED 21,220,580. That buyer all-in is approximately AED 3,096,387 below the seller's total documented cost of AED 24,316,967. The buyer pays every transaction fee at their own expense and still arrives at a fully-loaded acquisition figure approximately AED 3,096,387 lower than what the seller originally invested. Extreme super distress confirmed across three independent arithmetic layers: AED 3,381,699 below OP (14.47%), AED 4,316,967 below seller total (17.75%), and buyer all-in AED 3,096,387 below that same seller total (12.73%). At AED 7,619/sqft across 2,625 sq ft of Baccarat-branded ultra-premium residential space in Downtown Dubai — against the seller's own OP rate of AED 8,908/sqft — the AED 1,289/sqft distress discount is one of the largest absolute and relative per-sqft distress pricing advantages available in Downtown Dubai's branded ultra-luxury apartment secondary market at the current date. The city view designation is clearly stated and should be understood: this apartment looks over Downtown Dubai's city skyline rather than directly at the Burj Khalifa. In the Baccarat Residences Tower 1 product range, Burj-facing units command the highest premiums. The city-view designation is the correct pricing context for AED 20,000,000 on a 2,625 sq ft 2-bedroom — not a limitation to be rationalised but a specification that is fully priced into the below-OP distress position. Baccarat Hotel and Residences is the Downtown Dubai ultra-luxury branded residence development carrying the name of Baccarat — the French luxury crystal and lifestyle house founded in 1764 and the most internationally recognised French luxury crystal brand, whose glassware, chandeliers, and art objects define the apex of French crystal craftsmanship globally. In Dubai's ultra-luxury branded residence market, the Baccarat name represents one of the most prestigious and most internationally recognisable brand associations available — positioning the residence product at the top of the Downtown Dubai branded apartment hierarchy alongside and above many of the city's most premium international hospitality brands. A 2-bedroom city-view apartment at 2,625 sq ft in Baccarat Residences Tower 1 at AED 20,000,000 — AED 3,381,699 (14.47%) below OP, buyer all-in AED 3,096,387 below seller total — is the most clearly evidenced and most deeply discounted extreme super distress entry into Baccarat Residences Tower 1's 2-bedroom secondary market at the current date.

The seller paid AED 23,381,699 plus AED 935,268 in DLD — a total documented investment of AED 24,316,967. The distress asking price is AED 20,000,000 — AED 3,381,699 (14.47%) below OP and AED 4,316,967 (17.75%) below the seller's total. The buyer's own all-in of approximately AED 21,220,580 is approximately AED 3,096,387 below the seller's total documented cost. The seller is absorbing a confirmed, documented loss of AED 4,316,967 relative to their total investment on one of the most prestigious branded residential products in Downtown Dubai. The buyer captures that loss as permanent structural equity relative to the seller's own investment basis, confirmed by the seller's disclosed OP and the standard fee structure. Three independent arithmetic layers — AED 3,381,699 below OP (14.47%), AED 4,316,967 below seller total (17.75%), and buyer all-in AED 3,096,387 below that same seller total (12.73%) — all confirm extreme super distress of a depth that Baccarat Residences Tower 1's 2-bedroom secondary market has not previously evidenced at the current date.
The Baccarat Brand — What It Delivers for a Downtown Dubai Residence
Baccarat is a French luxury crystal house founded in 1764 in the town of Baccarat in Lorraine, France — the world's most celebrated and most internationally recognised maker of luxury crystal glassware, chandeliers, decorative objects, and luxury lifestyle products. The brand's client history encompasses European royalty, heads of state, and the most discerning collectors in the global luxury goods market across more than 260 years of continuous production. In Dubai's ultra-luxury branded residence market — where the brand association of a residential address is a primary driver of both occupier demand and investor resale premiums — the Baccarat name represents one of the most specifically French, most historically authenticated, and most globally recognisable luxury brand associations available in any Dubai residential tower. The Baccarat Hotel and Residences product in Tower 1 Downtown Dubai translates the brand's defining qualities — crystal clarity, the play of light through precision-crafted surfaces, the French luxury aesthetic of the highest quality — into the architectural vocabulary, the interior specification, and the amenity programme of a Downtown Dubai ultra-luxury branded residential tower. For a UHNW buyer or investor, the Baccarat branded residence association operates on the same principle as any ultra-luxury brand association in the residential market: it drives rental demand from tenants who specifically seek a Baccarat address, it drives resale demand from buyers who track the brand's global footprint, and it positions the residence above the conventional Grade A luxury apartment supply in the same location on the basis of brand identity alone — at AED 7,619/sqft on a 14.47% below-OP distress discount, the Baccarat brand premium is being acquired at the most favourable per-sqft cost that the current distress seller is able to offer.
City View — The Correct Pricing Context Explained
The city view designation — as the seller clearly and correctly states, not a Burj Khalifa view — is fully reflected in the distress asking price of AED 20,000,000 (AED 7,619/sqft). In Baccarat Residences Tower 1 and across the Downtown Dubai ultra-luxury branded apartment market, Burj-facing units command the highest pricing premiums because the Burj Khalifa view is the single most globally iconic and most immediately recognisable view proposition in the entire Dubai real estate market. City-view units in the same building at the same size and bedroom count are priced below Burj-facing equivalents — and the AED 20,000,000 asking price for this 2,625 sq ft 2-bedroom is correctly calibrated to the city-view specification. The Downtown Dubai city view from a 2,625 sq ft apartment in an ultra-premium branded tower is nonetheless one of the most compelling urban panoramas available in any residential product in the city — a view over the Downtown skyline, the metropolitan fabric of the city's central district, and the broader Dubai urban landscape that the vast majority of premium residential addresses in Dubai cannot offer from any elevation. For an end-user who does not require the Burj Khalifa as their primary view axis, the city view at the distress price of AED 20,000,000 provides a Downtown Baccarat branded residence entry point that is AED 3,381,699 below what a Burj-view equivalent at the same OP-level premium would have cost. The city-view designation is the correct and transparent pricing context — not a limitation to be explained away, but the specification that creates the distress entry point at AED 7,619/sqft below the seller's documented OP rate of AED 8,908/sqft.
2,625 Sq Ft — The Scale of Ultra-Luxury in Baccarat Tower 1
At 2,625 sq ft, this 2-bedroom apartment in Baccarat Residences Tower 1 delivers the spatial scale of an ultra-luxury residential product that exceeds the BUA of many 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom apartments in Downtown Dubai's conventional premium towers. In Baccarat's residential programme, 2,625 sq ft across a 2-bedroom plan provides the most generous room proportions, the most comprehensive bathroom programme, the most expansive living and dining scale, and the most spatially differentiated internal environment that a 2-bedroom residential product in the Downtown Dubai ultra-luxury segment can deliver. The Baccarat interior specification across 2,625 sq ft — the crystal-inspired design vocabulary, the premium materials, the lighting programme referencing Baccarat's signature crystal chandelier aesthetic, and the kitchen and bathroom specification at the hotel's luxury standard — delivers a residential interior that the buyer cannot replicate through renovation or upgrade of a non-Baccarat Downtown Dubai apartment at any price. Full floor plan, exact room dimensions, bathroom configurations, balcony access and orientation details are available on request from our team and confirmed at private viewing.

Investment Case — Extreme Super Distress, Baccarat Brand, Downtown Dubai, City View
The investment case for this Baccarat Residences Tower 1 2-bedroom at AED 20,000,000 operates across four compounding propositions. First, the extreme super distress structural equity of the most exceptional depth: the buyer's all-in of approximately AED 21,220,580 is approximately AED 3,096,387 below the seller's total documented cost — a structural cost advantage of more than AED 3,000,000 confirmed by the seller's disclosed OP and the standard fee structure. The seller absorbs AED 4,316,967 of documented loss. The buyer captures that loss permanently. Second, the Baccarat brand premium at a 14.47% below-OP distress entry: the most internationally recognised French luxury crystal brand's residential product in Downtown Dubai is being acquired at a discount that the non-distressed Baccarat Residences secondary market does not produce from unmotivated sellers — the buyer acquires the Baccarat brand premium at the most favourable per-sqft rate the current motivated seller can offer. Third, the hotel amenity programme investment advantage: Baccarat Hotel and Residences owners access the full hotel service infrastructure as a branded residence investor — the most professionally managed and most credentialed short-term and long-term rental management programme available in Downtown Dubai's ultra-luxury branded segment, commanding the highest nightly rates from the international UHNW traveller profile that specifically seeks the Baccarat name. Fourth, the Downtown Dubai long-term value trajectory: the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Mall, the Dubai Fountain, and the Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard circuit provide the most permanently iconic and most internationally marketed lifestyle infrastructure of any Dubai residential address — a value anchor that supports Downtown Dubai's premium residential values through market cycles and over the medium to long term. Entering at AED 20,000,000 on a 2,625 sq ft Baccarat branded apartment that the seller paid AED 23,381,699 for creates the most structurally advantaged branded ultra-luxury apartment entry point available in Baccarat Residences Tower 1's secondary market at the current date.
