Q4-2026This is a verified motivated-seller distress listing at CAVALLI Tower — Roberto Cavalli by DAMAC Properties in Dubai Marina. The seller is exiting at AED 240,000 price reduction; AED 478,462 below OP+DLD combined below the original purchase price of AED 11,961,538, transferring a 2,800 sqft 2BR unit at AED 12,200,000 (AED 4,357/sqft) against a current Dubai Marina secondary market of AED 5,179/sqft — placing AED 2,300,000 in immediate unrealised equity in the buyer’s hands from the moment of signing. Dubai Marina recorded 9,800 DLD-registered transactions in 2025, up 15% year-on-year, confirming the buyer liquidity depth that supports any future exit.
The unit is positioned on High Floor — Super-Luxury Level 2 (Floors 38-47), delivering Sea View and Palm Jumeirah View. With 60% of the original purchase price already paid by the seller (AED 7,176,923), the buyer assumes only the remaining 40% (AED 4,784,615) due at Q4 2026 handover — providing 9-12 months of cashflow planning runway between transfer and final payment. Semi-Furnished specification allows the buyer to complete the unit to their preferred specification while benefiting from the seller discount.
The seller’s exit is driven by genuine personal liquidity pressure — not by a concern about the project, the developer or the market. Having committed AED 7,176,923 (60%) in capital to DAMAC Properties, the seller is absorbing a cash loss of AED 240,000 to access liquidity now. The buyer captures the full gap between the seller’s distress price and the current Dubai Marina secondary market: AED 2,300,000 on AED 12,200,000 invested = 18.9% immediate paper return. At new off-plan launches in Dubai Marina pricing at AED 5,500/sqft, this entry at AED 4,357/sqft represents below-replacement-cost acquisition.
The transfer is executed via DAMAC Properties-approved novation: seller obtains NOC from DAMAC Properties confirming no arrears; both parties execute MOU with 10% deposit (AED 1,220,000) in escrow; DAMAC Properties, seller and buyer sign novation SPA; buyer registers at DLD paying 4% fee of AED 488,000; buyer assumes final 40% (AED 4,784,615) at Q4 2026 handover. DistressPropertyFinder.com manages the complete process from initial documentation review through DLD title registration.
At AED 4,357/sqft, this unit sits AED 822/sqft (15.9%) below current Dubai Marina secondary market and AED 1,143/sqft below new off-plan launches — meaning any buyer entering through a direct developer channel today pays materially more for a comparable Dubai Marina address with a further 2-3 year construction wait. At the mid-range annual rent of AED 700,000, gross yield is 5.7%, delivering AED 616,000/yr net of service charges on a day-one basis before any capital appreciation is counted.
DAMAC Cavalli Tower is the first Roberto Cavalli-branded residential building in the world — a 70-storey icon in Dubai Marina designed in collaboration with the Roberto Cavalli Group. The project features three residential levels: Level 1 (floors 4-37, 314 luxury units), Level 2 (floors 38-47, 95 super-luxury units) and Level 3 (floors 48-71, 75 Skyloft ultra-luxury penthouses). The 2BR+Maid duplex at 2,800 sqft on a high floor with sea and Palm view, huge terrace and private pool falls within the super-luxury Level 2 segment — one of only 95 such units in the entire building. Property Finder confirms Cavalli Tower average selling price AED 11,160,000 for approximately 1,600 sqft (AED 6,975/sqft), while Metropolitan Premium states service charges at AED 25-30/sqft/annum. DLD values the project at AED 929,032,000.
Cavalli Tower is located in Dubai Media City, directly adjacent to Dubai Marina on King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Street. The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi Beach Resort is directly opposite — residents receive complimentary beach access and 25% F&B discount at The Westin. Media City Metro Station (Red Line) is 8 minutes walk. DMCC Metro Station is 12 minutes walk.
2BR+Maid high-floor duplex with private pool and sea views in a branded Roberto Cavalli tower commands AED 550,000-900,000/yr in annual leases. RituKant 2026 Q4 analysis projects 7-9% gross yield for 1-2BR Cavalli Tower units based on DLD high-end Marina data. Duplex configurations with private pools targeting ultra-HNWI tenants achieve AED 700,000-1,200,000/yr. Post-handover payment plan retained by buyer significantly reduces immediate capital commitment.
Cavalli Tower 2BR units currently average AED 11,160,000 (AED 6,975/sqft at ~1,600 sqft). This 2,800 sqft duplex with private pool at AED 12,200,000 = AED 4,357/sqft — materially below the comparable 1,600 sqft unit average on a sqft basis, reflecting the duplex format efficiency. OP+DLD AED 12,440,000, new price AED 12,200,000 = AED 240,000 reduction. Post-handover payment plan available — highly unusual for a luxury duplex — significantly reducing buyer’s day-one capital requirement. Cavalli Tower topped out at 71 storeys with Q4 2026 handover. 7-9% projected gross yield. DLD project total value AED 929M confirms institutional-scale investment.
The seller is exiting at AED 240,000 price reduction; AED 478,462 below OP+DLD combined below the original purchase cost of AED 11,961,538 due to a genuine personal liquidity requirement unrelated to any concern about the project, developer or market. Having invested AED 7,176,923 (60%) with DAMAC Properties, the seller prefers to crystallise a cash loss of AED 240,000 now rather than wait through the remaining obligations. Full SPA and all payment receipts are available to verified buyers through DistressPropertyFinder.com.
This seller is transferring at AED 12,200,000 — AED 240,000 price reduction; AED 478,462 below OP+DLD combined below what they paid DAMAC Properties, absorbing a real cash loss to exit quickly. The buyer enters at AED 4,357/sqft versus a Dubai Marina resale market of AED 5,179/sqft, acquiring AED 2,300,000 in immediate unrealised equity that no developer channel can provide.
Novation replaces the seller on the original SPA with the buyer, with DAMAC Properties written consent. Seller obtains NOC; both execute MOU with 10% escrow AED 1,220,000; DAMAC Properties, seller and buyer sign novation SPA; buyer pays DLD 4% fee AED 488,000; buyer assumes 40% (AED 4,784,615) at Q4 2026 handover. DistressPropertyFinder.com manages from NOC through DLD registration.

Dubai Marina DLD transactions grew 15% in 2025. New off-plan launches at AED 5,500/sqft confirm this is below replacement cost. DAMAC Properties’s established delivery track record de-risks the Q4 2026 handover.
