Ready to Move InA distress sale of uncommon clarity in one of Dubai’s most consistently valued premium residential communities. The seller has disclosed not only the original price but their total documented cost including DLD paid — AED 11,341,200 — making the arithmetic of this opportunity fully transparent and independently verifiable. Original price AED 10,905,000. DLD paid by seller approximately AED 436,200. Seller total documented cost AED 11,341,200. Distress asking price AED 10,000,000. Saving versus OP: AED 905,000 (8.30%). But the number that defines this deal most precisely is the super distress layer: the buyer’s own all-in — AED 10,000,000 plus buyer DLD (4%), agency (2% plus VAT), and admin — is approximately AED 10,610,580. That buyer all-in is approximately AED 730,620 below the seller’s own total documented cost of AED 11,341,200. The buyer completes every transaction cost at their own expense and arrives at a fully-loaded acquisition figure approximately AED 730,620 lower than what the seller paid in total. Three further attributes compound the distress arithmetic into one of the most complete distress propositions available in the MJL secondary market: the apartment is ready and vacant — immediate possession on DLD transfer day, no tenant to manage, no handover to wait for; it is fully paid — no remaining developer obligations, no payment plan assumption required, a clean outright purchase; and it is fully upgraded — the seller has invested in specification improvements above the original developer delivery standard, and those upgrades are being transferred to the buyer as part of the AED 10,000,000 distress price rather than at a separate premium. Burj Al Arab view — the most prestigious and most internationally recognised landmark view in all of Dubai’s residential market. A 4-bedroom, 2,645 sq ft apartment facing the Burj Al Arab, ready and vacant, fully paid, fully upgraded, at 8.30% below the documented OP with buyer all-in below seller total documented cost, in Jadeel, Madinat Jumeirah Living — a community of this profile at this distress depth does not appear with frequency in the MJL secondary market.
The seller paid AED 10,905,000 plus AED 436,200 in DLD — a total documented investment of AED 11,341,200. The buyer pays AED 10,000,000 plus their own DLD, agency, and admin — approximately AED 10,610,580 total. The buyer all-in is approximately AED 730,620 below the seller’s own total. This is the cleanest and most transparent super distress presentation possible: the seller has disclosed their total cost including DLD paid — making the arithmetic fully independently verifiable, not an estimate — and the buyer’s all-in is still below that fully disclosed total by approximately AED 730,620.
The Burj Al Arab is the most globally recognisable architectural landmark in Dubai — and an apartment that directly faces the Burj Al Arab holds the most prestigious and most internationally marketable view designation available in any Dubai residential building at any price point. In the MJL context — where Jadeel’s positioning adjacent to Madinat Jumeirah resort provides a direct sightline across the resort’s waterways and landscape to the Burj Al Arab’s distinctive sail-shaped silhouette on the beach — a Burj Al Arab-facing apartment commands a permanent view premium that cannot be replicated by any other apartment in the same building facing an alternative direction. For an end-user, waking to a direct Burj Al Arab view is a daily experiential privilege that is specific to a very small number of residential positions in all of Dubai. For an investor, a Burj Al Arab-facing apartment in a premium community like MJL markets itself at the top of the luxury short-term and long-term rental market — the view is the primary photography and booking driver on every platform, and the rental premium it commands above non-Burj-facing equivalents in the same building is consistent and verifiable from comparable rental data. At AED 10,000,000 — AED 905,000 below OP — the Burj Al Arab view is being acquired as part of the distress price rather than at a view premium above a market-rate asking price.
This seller’s disclosed attributes create four compounding advantages for the buyer that are individually uncommon and collectively exceptional in the MJL secondary market at this price point. Ready means the building is delivered and the apartment is in its final, habitable state — there is no construction timeline, no developer handover process, and no capital deployed before possession. Vacant means no tenant occupancy to manage, no existing tenancy agreement to honour, no Section 25 notice period to serve, and no delay between DLD transfer and first-day access — the buyer receives the keys on transfer day and can occupy or lease the apartment the same week. Fully paid means the seller has discharged all developer obligations — there is no payment plan position to assume, no remaining instalments to the developer, no assignment risk associated with a partially-paid plan, and no Meraas NOC complication arising from an outstanding balance. The transaction is a clean outright secondary-market sale. Fully upgraded means the seller has invested in improving the apartment’s specification above the original Meraas developer delivery standard — and those upgrades are being transferred to the buyer at the distress price of AED 10,000,000 without a separate premium for the upgrade investment. The buyer receives an upgraded apartment in a premium building with a Burj Al Arab view, ready, vacant, and fully paid, at AED 905,000 below the seller’s original price and with a buyer all-in still approximately AED 730,620 below what the seller paid in total. The combination of these four attributes with the super distress pricing creates a proposition that comprehensively addresses every friction point a buyer might otherwise face at this price level.
Madinat Jumeirah Living is Meraas’ premium residential community embedded within and adjacent to the Madinat Jumeirah resort — one of Dubai’s most architecturally distinctive, most internationally recognised, and most consistently loved luxury hospitality destinations, defined by its Arabesque wind-tower architecture, its network of internal waterways, its Souk Madinat Jumeirah retail and dining complex, and its direct connectivity to the Burj Al Arab on the adjacent beach plot. MJL as a residential community occupies a position that no other residential development in Dubai can replicate: residents have access to the Madinat Jumeirah resort’s entire lifestyle infrastructure — the waterways, the Souk, the restaurants and bars, the pools, and the beach — as part of their daily residential environment, while living in premium Meraas-delivered apartments that face the Burj Al Arab, the Madinat Jumeirah resort landscape, and the Arabian Gulf. Jadeel is one of the residential buildings within MJL — a building that provides the full MJL lifestyle proposition including Burj Al Arab views from specific units. A 4-bedroom, 2,645 sq ft apartment in Jadeel at AED 10,000,000 — fully paid, fully upgraded, ready, vacant, and with a documented OP of AED 10,905,000 and a seller total of AED 11,341,200 — is one of the most clearly evidenced distress entries into MJL’s 4-bedroom secondary market currently available.
The investment case for this Jadeel 4-bedroom at AED 10,000,000 is built around four simultaneous and independently compelling value drivers. First, the super distress equity: the buyer enters at AED 342 per sq ft below the seller’s documented original price — AED 905,000 in total savings versus OP — with a buyer all-in that is approximately AED 730,620 below the seller’s fully disclosed total cost of AED 11,341,200. This is structural equity from day one, derived from the seller’s own disclosed figures and requiring no market projection to validate. Second, the Burj Al Arab view premium: a Burj Al Arab-facing apartment in MJL commands the most consistent and most internationally legible rental premium available in Dubai’s luxury apartment market. The view drives premium nightly rates on short-term platforms, attracts the most discerning long-term tenant profile, and supports resale liquidity at the top of the MJL price range. Third, immediate income activation: ready and vacant means the investor can list for short-term or long-term rental the same week as the DLD transfer — zero income gap between acquisition and rental activation. Fourth, the upgrade premium already absorbed by the seller: the buyer receives a fully upgraded apartment at the AED 10,000,000 distress price — the seller’s upgrade investment is transferred at no additional cost above the headline distress price.
The seller has disclosed not only their original price (AED 10,905,000) but their total documented cost including DLD paid (AED 11,341,200) — making this the most transparent distress arithmetic available in the MJL secondary market. The buyer’s own all-in — AED 10,000,000 plus buyer DLD (AED 400,000) plus agency (approximately AED 210,000) plus admin (approximately AED 580) — totals approximately AED 10,610,580. That is approximately AED 730,620 below the seller’s fully disclosed total of AED 11,341,200. No estimates or assumptions are required. The seller’s own numbers make the distress case independently verifiable.
Fully paid means the seller has discharged every payment obligation to Meraas — there is no remaining developer balance, no payment plan position to assume, no Meraas NOC complication arising from an outstanding instalment. The buyer transacts directly on the secondary market as an outright purchase. This eliminates the assignment risk, the payment assumption complication, and the developer consent complexity that a partially-paid plan assignment would involve. The transaction is clean, straightforward, and immediately executable through the standard DLD process.
Fully upgraded means the seller has invested in improvements to the apartment’s specification above the standard Meraas developer delivery — covering elements such as premium flooring, bespoke joinery, upgraded kitchen or bathroom finishes, custom lighting, or other enhancement works above the base specification. The full upgrade inventory and scope are available on request from our team as part of the viewing and due diligence process. The buyer receives these upgrades as part of the AED 10,000,000 distress price — the seller’s upgrade investment is absorbed into the distress pricing and is not separately charged.
Madinat Jumeirah Living is Meraas’ premium residential community adjacent to and partially within the Madinat Jumeirah resort — one of Dubai’s most celebrated luxury hospitality destinations, defined by its Arabesque architecture, internal waterway network, Souk Madinat Jumeirah retail and dining complex, and proximity to the Burj Al Arab. MJL residents have access to the resort’s lifestyle infrastructure — the waterways, the Souk, the resort restaurants and bars — as part of their daily residential environment. No other residential community in Dubai offers this level of integration with a five-star resort complex as a permanent residential amenity.
A 4-bedroom, fully upgraded, Burj Al Arab-facing apartment in Jadeel MJL attracts the most discerning and highest-paying end of Dubai’s luxury tenant market — corporate executives, diplomatic families, and high-net-worth individuals and families specifically seeking the MJL resort lifestyle address, the Burj Al Arab view, and the Souk Madinat access. Burj Al Arab-facing units consistently command the highest rental premiums in MJL across both short-term and long-term rental channels. The fully upgraded specification adds further rental appeal above the base developer-finish equivalent. Entering at AED 10,000,000 — 8.30% below OP — creates the strongest possible price-to-income foundation. Specific comparables available on request.
