Distress Deal – 2-Bedroom Apartment in FIVE LUXE, JBR, Dubai

Highest Floor on Market | 1,599 Sqft | Full Sea View | 3 Bathrooms | Parking | AED 7,750,000 | AED 1.35M Below 3-Year Average Deal Price

One of the most compelling distress entries into Dubai’s premium beachfront branded residence market — a 2-bedroom, 3-bathroom apartment on the highest floor currently available for sale in FIVE LUXE, JBR, Dubai. Spanning 1,599 sqft with a full Arabian Gulf sea view and allocated parking, this unit is priced at AED 7,750,000 against a market backdrop where comparable units are listed at AED 8,250,000–9,700,000 and the 3-year average deal price stands at AED 9,100,000. The buyer at this price enters at a saving of AED 1,350,000 below the market’s own 3-year average closing price — not below a listing, but below what buyers have actually paid for similar units over the past three years. The floor premium — the highest available floor on the market — adds a further layer of value that is not yet reflected in the price.

The Market Data That Defines This Deal

Most distress listings benchmark against an original purchase price or a single comparable transaction. This one is anchored against three years of market data — which is a far more powerful reference point:

• Current Active Listings (comparable units in FIVE LUXE: AED 8,250,000 – AED 9,700,000
• 3-Year Average Deal Price (what buyers have actually paid): AED 9,100,000
• This Unit’s Selling Price: AED 7,750,000
• Saving vs cheapest active listing: AED 500,000 — the buyer outbids the market’s own floor
• Saving vs 3-year average deal price: AED 1,350,000 (14.8%) — the buyer enters below what the market has paid on average every year for three years
• Saving vs top of listing range: AED 1,950,000 (20.1%) — nearly AED 2 million below the highest competing listing

The 3-year average deal price of AED 9,100,000 is not an asking price — it is a closed transaction average. Sellers get that price. Buyers pay that price. This seller is offering their unit at AED 1,350,000 below what the market has demonstrably cleared for comparable units over three consecutive years. Add to this that the unit is on the highest floor currently offered in FIVE LUXE — a position that commands a premium within the building — and the effective discount against true market value is wider still.

Floor premium context: In a luxury high-rise, the highest available floor in any given building at any given time is the most coveted, commands the strongest views, and trades at the top of the building’s price band. At AED 7,750,000, this unit is priced as if it were a lower-floor apartment while occupying the highest available position. That differential represents additional unrealised value beyond the headline AED 1,350,000 saving.

Layout and Floor Plan

This 2-bedroom, 3-bathroom apartment in FIVE LUXE spans 1,599 sqft and is positioned on the highest floor currently available for sale in the building — a designation that delivers the most panoramic, most elevated full Arabian Gulf sea view that FIVE LUXE can offer on the open market today. The 1,599 sqft footprint is generous for a 2-bedroom in the JBR premium tier, providing well-proportioned rooms and a comfortable flow between the living, dining, and outdoor spaces. The 3-bathroom configuration — one bathroom above the bedroom count — typically indicates a guest bathroom or en-suite arrangement that enhances the unit’s flexibility for both residential occupancy and short-term rental management. Floor plans and current interior photographs are available on request.

The Short-Term Rental Dimension

FIVE LUXE is one of Dubai’s most active and successful short-term rental (holiday home) properties, supported directly by the FIVE Hotels & Resorts management programme. The building’s beachfront location, brand recognition, lifestyle offering, and FIVE’s established hospitality management infrastructure make it one of the strongest platforms in Dubai for owners seeking to generate short-term rental income alongside capital appreciation. Key considerations for the new buyer:

• FIVE LUXE units on the highest floors command the highest nightly rates within the building on short-term platforms — the floor premium directly translates to revenue premium
• The FIVE Hotels & Resorts management programme handles listings, guest management, cleaning, and maintenance — a hands-off income model for non-resident owners
• JBR and Dubai Marina consistently rank among the top-performing short-term rental zones in Dubai by both occupancy and average daily rate
• The full sea view from the highest available floor supports premium imagery on holiday home platforms — a tangible driver of booking conversion and rate
• Detailed short-term rental yield estimates for this specific unit are available on request from our advisory team
