Distress Deal – 5-Bedroom Corner Townhouse in DAMAC Islands Bali, Dubai

Corner End Unit | Green Belt Facing | BUA 3,178 Sqft | Plot 2,465 Sqft | AED 3,124,000 | AED 1,028,000 Below Last Transaction | Handover 2028

One of the most dramatically below-market distress opportunities currently available in Dubai — a 5-bedroom plus maid’s room corner end townhouse in DAMAC Islands Bali, with a green belt outlook and a structured payment plan still in place. The unit is offered at AED 3,124,000, which is AED 200,000 below the original price of AED 3,324,000 — but the headline number that defines this deal is its relationship to the most recent comparable transaction in the project: the last recorded transaction stands at AED 4,152,000, meaning this unit is priced at AED 1,028,000 — approximately 24.8% — below where the market last traded. For a buyer able to step into the structured payment plan, this represents one of the most favourable risk-adjusted entry points available in any DAMAC masterplan community in Dubai today. Corner end position, green belt orientation, 5 bedrooms plus maid, and a BUA of 3,178 sqft across a private 2,465 sqft plot — all at a price that is, by the market’s own measure, more than AED 1 million cheap.

The last transaction in DAMAC Islands Bali for a comparable unit registered at AED 4,152,000. The DLD database reflects what the market was paying — not what someone hoped to sell for, but what actually cleared. At AED 3,124,000, this seller is absorbing a loss of over AED 1 million versus that benchmark. The new buyer enters at a price that sits approximately 25% below the last known market clearing price for equivalent units in this cluster — before any further appreciation between now and the 2028 handover is considered.

About DAMAC Islands – Bali Cluster

DAMAC Islands is a masterplanned island-themed residential community by DAMAC Properties, conceived around a collection of iconic global island destinations — with Bali, Maldives, Mikonos, Santorini, and others forming the thematic identity of distinct clusters within the development. The Bali cluster draws inspiration from the Indonesian island’s distinctive architecture, lush tropical landscaping, and wellness-oriented way of living, expressed through the material palette, water features, and community design of the neighbourhood. DAMAC Islands is positioned as one of DAMAC Properties’ most ambitious Dubai masterplans, delivering a mix of townhouses and villas in a gated, resort-style community environment with a target demographic of premium family buyers and lifestyle-conscious investors.

Layout and Floor Plan

This corner end townhouse spans a built-up area of 3,178 sqft across a private plot of 2,465 sqft in the Bali cluster of DAMAC Islands. Being a corner end unit, the property benefits from a wider footprint, additional natural light from two exposed sides, more outdoor garden space, and greater separation from neighbouring units compared to mid-row townhouses — all of which translate directly into rental and resale premium. The green belt orientation adds a further layer of premium: the primary outlook from the living areas and principal rooms faces open landscaped space rather than another building. The layout across 5 bedrooms plus maid’s room is expected to include a ground-floor open-plan living and dining area, kitchen, utility/maid’s room, outdoor terrace, and four or five bedrooms distributed across upper floors. Detailed floor plans for this unit in DAMAC Islands Bali are available on request.

Payment Structure and Handover

This is a structured off-plan resale with a clear payment breakdown already established by the original DAMAC contract. The incoming buyer takes over the position as follows:

• To Seller (equity paid to current owner at transfer): AED 930,160
• To Developer Before NOC (outstanding balance needed to obtain NOC from DAMAC): AED 199,440
• During Construction (35% of SP remaining): Approximately AED 1,093,400
• On Handover (25% of SP): AED 831,000
• Total Selling Price: AED 3,124,000

In addition to the above, the incoming buyer is responsible for:

• Dubai Land Department Transfer Fee: 4% of SP = AED 124,960
• DLD Registration Fee: AED 4,000
• DAMAC NOC Fee: Applicable — to be confirmed with DAMAC Properties
• Agency / Brokerage Fee: Available on request
• Handover: 2028 — confirm latest schedule with DAMAC Properties

The structured plan means a buyer does not need to deploy all AED 3,124,000 upfront. The immediate cash requirement is the seller equity of AED 930,160 plus the developer NOC payment of AED 199,440, with 35% during construction and 25% at handover representing the deferred balance. This makes the deal accessible to a broader pool of serious investors and end-users who can manage a phased payment approach.
