A below-original-price resale at Jumeirah Residences Emirates Towers Tower B — a 2-bedroom + maid’s room apartment on a high floor with a Museum of the Future view, selling at AED 6,900,000, a reduction of AED 900,000 from the original purchase price of AED 7,800,000. This 1,373 sq.ft unit sits within one of the most anticipated ultra-luxury residential developments on Sheikh Zayed Road — a Meraas and Jumeirah Hotels collaboration, designed by SCDA Architects with a cantilevered form, and positioned directly adjacent to the Museum of the Future, DIFC, and the original Emirates Towers. The payment is structured as three distinct streams, allowing the buyer a clear view of their total commitment across seller, developer, and remaining plan obligations.

AED 900,000 Below Original Price — Understanding This Distressed Sale

• Original purchase price: AED 7,800,000 — the price paid by the current seller when the unit was originally acquired
• Current selling price: AED 6,900,000
• Reduction: AED 900,000, or approximately 11.5% below the original price
• Seller’s cost basis already paid: 50% of AED 7,800,000 = AED 3,900,000 paid into the project to date. The seller recovers AED 1,440,000 of this cash from the buyer, meaning the seller absorbs AED 2,460,000 in loss against their direct cash investment — a deeply motivated exit
• Why AED 11.5% below OP is significant at this price tier: at the AED 7–8M price point for luxury SZR product, an AED 900,000 discount is meaningful in both absolute terms and as a signal of seller urgency. Ultra-luxury off-plan units in this price bracket rarely see sellers exit below cost — when they do, it signals genuine financial pressure rather than opportunistic pricing
• Buyers are encouraged to verify the original purchase price and full payment schedule as part of standard due diligence on any resale transaction

The Three-Way Payment Structure — Unpacked

This listing’s payment structure is more complex than a standard off-plan resale and requires clear explanation. The AED 6,900,000 selling price is structured as three distinct payment streams:

• 1. To Seller — AED 1,440,000
  This is the cash paid directly to the current seller at the point of transfer. It represents the seller’s equity recovery — what the seller receives as their personal cash-out from this transaction. Against the seller’s total cash investment of AED 3,900,000 (50% of OP) already paid into the project, this represents a partial recovery of approximately 37% of what they have invested
• 2. To Developer — AED 1,560,000
  This payment goes directly to Meraas, the developer, and credits the buyer’s account with the value of instalments previously paid by the seller. In off-plan resale transactions, when a unit changes hands mid-construction, the developer typically requires a payment to formally transfer the buyer’s position and update the payment plan records. This AED 1,560,000 confirms the buyer’s ownership of the seller’s previously-paid instalment position within Meraas’s payment schedule
• 3. Remaining Payment Plan — AED 3,900,000 (50% of OP)
  This is the outstanding balance under the original Meraas payment plan that the buyer assumes going forward. As the project progresses from today through to August 2030, the buyer will pay this AED 3,900,000 in agreed instalments per the original payment schedule
• Verification: 1,440,000 + 1,560,000 + 3,900,000 = AED 6,900,000 = Selling Price ✓
• Additional buyer costs beyond the SP: the buyer is also responsible for DLD transfer fees (approximately 4%, c. AED 276,000), Meraas NOC and assignment fees (confirm with developer), and any registration trustee fees. These are separate from the AED 6,900,000 and do not reduce the selling price

Jumeirah Residences Emirates Towers — Meraas and Jumeirah Hotels: A Rare Collaboration

This development’s identity is defined by the combination of two of Dubai’s most globally recognised names in their respective fields:

• Meraas Holding — one of Dubai’s most design-led and prestige-focused developers, with a portfolio that includes Bvlgari Residences on Jumeirah Bay Island, Port de La Mer, Bluewaters Residences, Nikki Beach Residences, City Walk, La Mer, and Jumeirah Bay Island. Meraas is consistently associated with landmark architecture, exclusive positioning, and strong long-term asset performance
• Jumeirah Hotels — one of the world’s most recognised luxury hotel brands, known for properties including the Burj Al Arab, Jumeirah Beach Hotel, and Jumeirah Emirates Towers. Jumeirah Signature Services extend the hotel group’s service model into these residences: personalised concierge, private chef arrangements, spa bookings, private dining, and property management, making every apartment effectively a serviced residence with five-star hotel support
• SCDA Architects — the development is designed by Singapore-based SCDA Architects, known globally for their luxury residential and hospitality portfolio including several Aman properties. The building’s cantilevered form — which appears to float above its base — is a structural and architectural statement that is already distinguishing the project’s visual identity on the SZR skyline

Museum of the Future View — The Most Distinctive View on Sheikh Zayed Road

The Museum of the Future is one of Dubai’s most architecturally extraordinary and globally photographed structures — not simply a museum but an icon that has redefined the SZR skyline since its opening in 2022:

• Why this view is unique — the Museum of the Future’s distinctive toroid form, wrapped in Arabic calligraphy, is a visually singular building that most Dubai apartment buildings can only see from a distance. Jumeirah Residences Emirates Towers is positioned directly adjacent to the Museum, placing it within the category of buildings that look upon it at close range — making this one of the rarest view destinations available from any residential tower in Dubai
• Permanence — the Museum of the Future is a government landmark. It cannot be relocated, demolished, or blocked by future development in the conventional sense. A view of this building from a high floor in Tower B is a permanent and structurally irreplaceable visual asset
• Cultural and emotional premium — a view of the Museum of the Future carries a specific prestige that goes beyond simple aesthetics: it faces one of Dubai’s most globally recognised recent additions to its skyline, with strong international media recognition and visitor footfall, giving this view a distinctive identity that a standard skyline or city-facing view cannot replicate

2 Bedrooms + Maid’s Room at 1,373 sq.ft — Premium Configuration

• The 2-bedroom + maid’s room configuration is the highest-specification 2-bedroom layout available within Jumeirah Residences Emirates Towers — distinct from standard 2-bedroom units by the addition of dedicated staff accommodation separate from the two main bedrooms
• At 1,373 sq.ft, this unit sits towards the upper end of the published 2-bedroom size range for the development (1,115 to 1,590 sq.ft), delivering more generous proportions than entry-level 2-bedroom units in the same tower
• Published interiors for 2-bedroom residences at Jumeirah Residences Emirates Towers include open-plan layouts, fully equipped modern kitchens, refined finishes throughout, a balcony with city views, and access to all building-wide amenities and Jumeirah Signature Services

Amenities — Jumeirah Residences Emirates Towers

Published amenities for this development include:

• Sky pool on the 25th floor with 180-degree views
• Three exclusive sky terraces at the top of the towers — adults-only infinity pool, panoramic garden lounges, and open-air event terrace
