This footage was filmed during an earlier construction phase. The tower has since risen to near completion and is approaching its full height.
The Numbers
The Asset
Unit 4008 is a 2-bedroom apartment of 1,190 sqft on the 40th floor of Marina Shores, Emaar's 53-storey waterfront tower in Dubai Marina. It occupies the "08" line — Marina-facing, with a currently unobstructed view across the Dubai Marina water and skyline.
At floor 40, it sits high in the tower — well above the lower floors that fill the portals — on the Marina-facing 08 line, where the view opens to open water with nothing built in front of it. The residence was purchased in September 2022 and is now 80% paid — sold as a pre-handover assignment, with the final instalment due at handover.
Open Marina water sits directly in front, with no buildable plot between the tower and the channel — which is why the Marina view holds.
Where It Sits in the Marina
Post-ceasefire price per sqft · premium tier
Marina Shores is one of the strongest-performing addresses in Dubai Marina. On a per-square-foot basis it ranks third in the entire community at approximately AED 2,824 PSF post-ceasefire — behind only Six Senses Residences (AED 3,223) and LIV Marina (AED 3,211).
The premium tier as a whole has held firm within roughly ±3% through recent market movement, while the mid-tier softened and older secondary stock such as Park Island Bonaire fell nearly 18%. Marina Shores commands a premium of around AED 800 PSF over older buildings like Cayan Tower and DAMAC Heights, which trade in the AED 1,981–2,052 range.
Critically, it is the only premium new-build in the Marina with an active secondary market that is holding its premium — a sign of durable, scarcity-driven demand.
The Pricing Reality
Anchored to confirmed value · not aspirational asks
A disciplined buyer will verify value against confirmed Land Department records, so this analysis is built on the same basis. Within the high-floor 08 stack there are eleven near-identical units. To date, only one has a confirmed DLD resale — a floor-37 unit that closed at AED 3.4M in October 2024, essentially at breakeven after a 22-month hold. Ten of the eleven original buyers continue to hold.
Several sellers currently carry aspirational asks in the AED 3.7M–4.0M range, but the market has not yet validated those levels with a single transaction.
This unit is positioned deliberately against that backdrop: anchored to confirmed DLD value rather than aspirational asking prices, while carrying two genuine advantages over the lone confirmed comparable — a higher floor (40 versus 37) and an unobstructed Marina view. The result is a listing priced to transact in a thin market, rather than to sit unsold like the higher asks around it.

The Opportunity
For the buyer
A top-floor unit in a premium, supply-constrained building, priced to clear rather than to chase — a rare combination in a market where most comparable inventory is over-asked and illiquid.
For the seller
A clean, efficient exit to redeploy capital — reflected in the realistic, transaction-anchored pricing rather than a number left to sit unsold.

How the Assignment Works
Viewing & DLD Verification
Private viewing arranged on request. We share the full pricing analysis against confirmed Land Department records so you can verify value independently — no aspirational asks.
Assignment & Emaar NOC
As a pre-handover assignment (80% paid), the sale transfers via Emaar's NOC process. Sofia Sands manages the paperwork, the developer liaison, and full RERA compliance.
Transfer & Handover
Title transfers at the DLD; the final instalment falls due to Emaar at handover. We handle settlement logistics end-to-end through to keys.
