Fully Paid | 17% Below Original Price | 2BR in St Regis T1, Downtown Dubai | Handover Q4 2026

A rare and commercially superior distress opportunity in St Regis The Residences Tower 1 — one of the most prestigious branded residence addresses in the entire Downtown Dubai ecosystem. This 2-bedroom apartment spans 1,270 sq.ft (117.9 m²) on a middle floor with a community view and is offered at AED 2,900,000, representing a saving of AED 600,000 — approximately 17.1% — below the seller's original purchase price of AED 3,500,000. What elevates this opportunity beyond a standard below-market listing is the fully paid status: the seller has made 100% of payments to the developer, meaning the buyer assumes zero remaining instalment obligations and acquires a fully discharged, clean SPA position in a St Regis-branded tower at a material discount. With handover expected in Q4 2026, this is a near-to-delivery asset in arguably the world's most iconic residential address — Downtown Dubai — at a price that is both below original cost and below current comparable market levels for this unit type.

About St Regis The Residences – Downtown Dubai

St Regis The Residences is a landmark branded residence development co-developed by Emaar Properties — Dubai's most prominent master developer — in association with the St Regis Hotels and Resorts brand, part of Marriott International's ultra-luxury portfolio. St Regis is one of the world's most revered and historically significant luxury hospitality brands, tracing its heritage to the original St Regis New York, and consistently commanding some of the highest residential and hotel room rates in every market it enters globally. The Downtown Dubai address compounds this brand premium with location: St Regis The Residences sits within the most iconic urban kilometre on earth — alongside the Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall, The Dubai Fountain, and the full constellation of Downtown Dubai's luxury hospitality, dining, and cultural infrastructure. Emaar Properties, the master developer of Downtown Dubai, has directly integrated the St Regis Residences into the community it built, ensuring that every component — from the street-level experience to the building's management, amenities, and service delivery — reflects the unified Downtown Dubai vision. Tower 1 (T1) is the first and primary tower of the St Regis Residences collection in Downtown, and carries the full weight of both the St Regis brand and the Emaar Downtown pedigree.

Payment and Handover

This is a secondary market distress sale with a critically important distinguishing feature: the unit is fully paid to the developer.

The financial summary:
  • Asking Price: AED 2,900,000
  • Original Purchase Price: AED 3,500,000

Why Invest in St Regis T1, Downtown Dubai

  • Fully paid — zero buyer instalment risk: The seller has made 100% of payments to Emaar. The buyer pays AED 2,900,000 and assumes a completely clean, fully discharged SPA — the rarest and most de-risked position in any off-plan secondary market transaction

Frequently asked questions

What is the asking price and what makes this distress deal exceptional?

The asking price is AED 2,900,000 — AED 600,000 (approximately 17.1%) below the seller's original purchase price of AED 3,500,000. What makes this exceptional beyond the discount is the fully paid status: the seller has made 100% of all payments to Emaar. The buyer acquires the unit by paying AED 2,900,000 and assumes zero remaining developer instalments — a completely clean, fully discharged position in a St Regis-branded Emaar tower in Downtown Dubai, delivered below original cost.

What does fully paid mean and why is it important for the buyer?

Fully paid means the seller has already transferred 100% of the purchase price to Emaar — every instalment in the original payment plan has been completed. For the buyer, this is transformative: there are no remaining milestone payments, no construction completion payments, and no handover balance to manage. The buyer pays AED 2,900,000 to acquire the SPA — which already carries the full payment — and then simply waits for Q4 2026 handover, at which point the title deed is issued. This eliminates all payment plan management risk and cash-flow planning complexity from the buyer's position.

Who developed St Regis The Residences T1 and what is the brand?

St Regis The Residences is co-developed by Emaar Properties — Dubai's most prominent and trusted master developer, responsible for Burj Khalifa, Downtown Dubai, and Dubai Hills Estate — in association with the St Regis Hotels and Resorts brand, part of Marriott International's ultra-luxury portfolio. St Regis is one of the most historically revered luxury hospitality brands in the world, with a heritage tracing to the original St Regis New York in 1904. In every city globally, St Regis-branded residences consistently achieve the highest per-square-foot residential resale values in their respective markets.

What is the size and layout of this apartment?

The apartment is 1,270 sq.ft (117.9 m²) and is a 2-bedroom unit on a middle floor with a community view. The exact floor level within the middle-floor band, room dimensions, bathroom count, balcony area, and detailed layout are available on request alongside the full architectural floor plan for this specific unit.

What view does this middle-floor unit offer?

This unit has a community view orientation — facing the Downtown Dubai community environment rather than the Burj Khalifa or fountain side. Community-view units in St Regis T1 offer a curated outlook over the streetscape and urban environment of Downtown Dubai and are equally valued by end-users and quality long-term tenants who prioritise privacy, tranquillity, and living space quality over a specific landmark view. The exact floor level, orientation, and view details for this unit are available on request.

Is St Regis The Residences T1 freehold and available to all nationalities?

Yes. St Regis The Residences Tower 1 in Downtown Dubai is located within a designated freehold zone and can be fully owned by all nationalities, including non-UAE residents and international investors. A full Dubai Land Department title deed is issued upon handover completion in Q4 2026.

What amenities and services does St Regis T1 offer residents?

Residents benefit from the full St Regis signature service programme including 24-hour butler service, in-residence dining and room service, housekeeping, and access to St Regis hotel facilities within the development. Building amenities include an infinity pool with Downtown and Burj Khalifa views, a fully equipped fitness centre, spa and treatment rooms, residents-only lounge, business centre, children's play area, covered parking, and 24-hour security. Full confirmed amenity and service details are available via the St Regis Residences project brochure.

What are the total transaction costs for this purchase?

The Dubai Land Department transfer fee is typically 4% of the purchase price (AED 116,000 on an AED 2,900,000 transaction). Additional costs include real estate agent commissions (if applicable), Emaar NOC and admin charges, conveyancing and trustee fees, and applicable annual service charges. Because the unit is fully paid, there are no remaining developer instalment payments for the buyer to manage. A full cost breakdown is available on request.

What is the rental income and capital appreciation potential?

Downtown Dubai is the most visited urban destination in the world and the most consistently in-demand residential sub-market in the UAE. St Regis-branded 2-bedroom units benefit from the full Marriott International distribution network, brand recognition, and service infrastructure that consistently drives the highest occupancy rates and nightly rates in the short-term rental market. For long-term tenants, the combination of the St Regis address, Downtown location, and Emaar build quality commands premium annual rents. At AED 2,900,000 for 1,270 sq.ft in St Regis T1, the implied AED 2,283 per sq.ft is materially below current branded residence comparable pricing in Downtown Dubai, providing strong inherent upside on both resale and rental return. Comparable data and yield projections are available on request.

How do I arrange a viewing or receive the floor plan and full documentation?

The detailed floor plan, Emaar SPA documentation confirming the fully paid status, St Regis Residences brochure, and all relevant transaction documentation are available on request. Please contact us immediately via the enquiry form or WhatsApp. A 17.1% below-OP, fully paid 2-bedroom in St Regis Tower 1 Downtown Dubai is one of the most extraordinary distress opportunities available in the current market — it will attract immediate serious buyer interest and will not remain available for long.
