A standout ready-to-move distress opportunity in District One, Mohammed Bin Rashid City — one of Dubai’s most prestigious and sought-after master-planned residential addresses.

At AED 8,200,000 — AED 1,400,000 below the last recorded comparable transaction of AED 9,600,000 — the buyer acquires a ready asset at AED 2,484 per sq.ft against a market median of AED 2,901 per sq.ft, representing a 14.4% discount to prevailing market rates.
