18.9% Below Market + Fully Furnished | 3BR + Maid | 1,865 sq.ft | Premium Floor | Grande Downtown | Vacant
One of the most commercially compelling distress opportunities currently available in Downtown Dubai's secondary market. This 3-bedroom plus maid's room apartment in Grande — one of the most prestigious residential towers in Downtown Dubai — is offered at AED 7,300,000 by a motivated seller, representing a saving of approximately AED 1,700,000 (approximately 18.9%) below the current market price of AED 9,000,000 for comparable unfurnished 04 series units in this building. The unit is fully furnished to a high-end standard — adding a meaningful premium over and above the stated market price comparison, which is for unfurnished equivalents. At AED 7,300,000 for 1,865 sq.ft on a premium floor in Grande Downtown, fully furnished, vacant, and ready to move in or rent immediately, the buyer is acquiring one of the most coveted residential configurations in the most visited urban destination in the world at a price point that the market left behind long ago. The seller has also absorbed the Dubai Land Department fee from their original acquisition, meaning the true all-in original cost basis exceeds AED 7,300,000 by a further material margin — making the discount to the seller's total cost of ownership even more significant than the headline saving against the unfurnished market price alone.

About Grande – Downtown Dubai
Grande is one of the most iconic and prestigious residential towers in Downtown Dubai — Emaar's masterpiece address directly overlooking the Dubai Fountain and the Burj Khalifa, in the most visited square kilometre of urban space on earth. Developed by Emaar Properties, the creator of Downtown Dubai, Burj Khalifa, and The Dubai Mall, Grande represents the developer's most ambitious residential statement within its own masterplan — a tower whose design, height, scale, and positioning within the Downtown skyline make it one of the defining residential landmarks of 21st century Dubai. The tower's alignment on the Dubai Fountain promenade gives its higher floors some of the most extraordinary residential views in any city in the world — a direct, unobstructed sightline across Burj Khalifa Lake to the Dubai Fountain, with the Burj Khalifa rising in the background — a view combination that is simultaneously the world's tallest building, the world's largest choreographed fountain, and one of the world's most-visited urban waterfronts, all from the comfort of a private residence. Grande's address on The Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard — Downtown Dubai's premium lifestyle street — places residents within a 5-minute walk of The Dubai Mall, the Dubai Opera, the finest hotel properties including Address Downtown and Armani Hotel, and the entire retail, dining, and cultural ecosystem of Downtown Dubai. The 04 series within Grande is a specific unit stack known for its layout configuration and view orientation — a designation that commands recognition and premium among Grande buyers and tenants in both the sales and rental markets.

- Vacant — no tenancy to manage, no notice period, immediate occupation or rental deployment

Why This Grande Distress Deal Is Exceptional
- 18.9% below unfurnished market — and this unit IS furnished: The AED 9,000,000 market price is for unfurnished 04 series units. This listing at AED 7,300,000 is high-end furnished — meaning the effective saving is the AED 1,700,000 price gap plus the full replacement cost of the furniture and fittings, which in a Downtown Grande 3-bedroom context is a material additional sum
- Below seller's original purchase price AND below seller's total cost including DLD: At AED 7,300,000, the buyer pays less than the seller's bare purchase price of AED 7,700,000, and approximately AED 708,000 less than the seller's estimated all-in cost including DLD — a loss exit for the seller that creates a direct and verifiable gain entry for the buyer
- Vacant — immediate deployment: The unit is vacant. A new buyer can move in, lease to a long-term tenant, or list on Airbnb from the day of title transfer. There is no tenancy negotiation, no notice period, and no occupancy risk
- Grande — Emaar's most prestigious Downtown tower: Grande is not simply a Downtown apartment building — it is one of the defining architectural addresses in the entire Downtown Dubai ecosystem, directly on the Dubai Fountain promenade with the Burj Khalifa as its backdrop. The building's status, location, and permanence of demand make it one of the most resilient and liquid assets in Dubai's residential market
- 04 Series — recognised premium stack: The 04 designation is a known and recognised layout and view configuration within Grande that commands premium positioning in both the sales and rental markets
- 1,865 sq.ft at AED 3,913 per sq.ft — historically low for Grande: The implied price per square foot at AED 7,300,000 for 1,865 sq.ft is AED 3,913 — substantially below the current unfurnished comparable at AED 4,825 per sq.ft. This implied value gap will narrow rapidly after handover of comparable inventory, compressing the window for this type of below-market entry
- STR premium address: A high-end furnished 3-bedroom plus maid in Grande Downtown, vacant and immediately deployable, in the world's most visited tourist destination, is one of the highest-value STR configurations available in Dubai — with nightly rates for this bedroom count and furnishing quality at the Burj Khalifa end of Downtown consistently exceeding AED 2,000–3,000+ per night in peak season
- Freehold ownership: Open to all nationalities with full Dubai Land Department title deed
