This 2-bedroom apartment in Sobha SeaHaven Tower C is offered as a distress deal at AED 6,580,000, reflecting a 14.8% reduction from the original price of AED 7,719,850. The unit spans 1,687 sq.ft, which places the entry basis at approximately AED 3,900 per sq.ft. This is a significant discount for a new-build, waterfront address in Dubai Harbour, especially considering the current off-plan pricing trends in the area. The apartment is scheduled for completion in Q3 2027, with a staged payment plan available. The deal thesis is straightforward: the buyer secures a prime, high-floor, sea-facing asset in a flagship Sobha project at a notable discount to the original launch price, with the potential for capital appreciation as the project nears handover and the Dubai Harbour district matures further.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
OVERVIEW
LOCATION & TRANSPORT
Sobha SeaHaven is located in Dubai Harbour, a strategic waterfront district positioned between Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah. This location offers direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road, making it practical for both daily commuting and leisure travel across the city. The area is well-served by road networks, and proximity to Dubai Marina ensures access to public transport options including the Dubai Tram and Metro. For residents and tenants, this means connectivity to major business, retail, and entertainment hubs such as JBR, Bluewaters Island, and Downtown Dubai. The Dubai Harbour masterplan also includes marina berths and cruise terminal facilities, which further enhance the lifestyle and investment appeal of the area. For investors, the location supports both long-term rental demand and short-stay potential, given the district’s growing profile as a leisure and residential destination.
AMENITIES & SURROUNDING
Sobha SeaHaven is designed as a high-amenity, waterfront residential complex. Residents will have access to a comprehensive suite of facilities, including 24-hour security, concierge services, a state-of-the-art gym, health club, yoga and meditation areas, and both rooftop and infinity pools with panoramic sea views. The project also features a cinema room, children’s pool, landscaped pool deck, sauna and steam rooms, and private balconies. Apartments are delivered with fully-fitted kitchens, smart home automation, and high-quality finishes such as marble flooring and leatherette wardrobes. The surrounding Dubai Harbour district is rapidly developing, with planned retail, dining, and leisure infrastructure, as well as direct access to the marina and waterfront promenades. This amenity profile positions SeaHaven as a lifestyle-led address, appealing to both end-users and tenants seeking a modern, service-rich environment.
MARKET
At an entry price of AED 3,900 per sq.ft, this unit sits below the current launch and resale pricing for comparable waterfront projects in Dubai Harbour and the broader Dubai Marina corridor. Recent transactions in Sobha SeaHaven and similar developments have seen higher per-square-foot rates, particularly for higher-floor, sea-facing layouts. The off-plan status introduces some completion and handover risk, but Sobha’s track record as a developer provides a degree of delivery confidence. The buyer profile for this segment is typically a mix of international investors, end-users seeking a waterfront lifestyle, and those looking to capitalise on Dubai’s ongoing residential demand. Rentability is supported by the area’s connectivity and amenity base, while liquidity should improve as the district matures and more infrastructure comes online. The main risk points are construction timelines and the broader market’s absorption of new supply, but the discount to original price provides a margin of safety for disciplined investors.
CONCLUSION
This distress deal in Sobha SeaHaven offers a practical entry into Dubai’s waterfront residential market at a visible discount to original pricing. The combination of a high-floor, sea-facing two-bedroom layout, strong amenity provision, and a reputable developer underpins the investment case. The payment plan structure allows for staged capital outlay, which may appeal to buyers seeking flexibility ahead of handover. The key considerations are the project’s completion timeline and the evolving supply dynamics in Dubai Harbour, but the discounted entry basis and the district’s long-term prospects provide a balanced risk-reward profile. For investors seeking exposure to Dubai’s next-generation waterfront, this deal presents a credible opportunity to secure a future-ready asset at a below-market cost, with upside potential as the area’s infrastructure and demand continue to build.

Method
- Handover
- The date the unit is handed over, set in quarters from purchase. Gross rent, the vacancy allowance, maintenance and management, and the service charge all start there and not before — an unbuilt unit cannot be let and is not billed. The year handover falls in gets the exact fraction it is entitled to, not a rounded whole year. Capital growth is not treated this way: it compounds from today across the whole hold, because an off-plan unit can be sold before it completes. Where the holding period ends before handover, there is no operating income anywhere in the schedule and the whole return is capital movement less costs.
- Gross yield
- Gross annual rent ÷ purchase price. Before every cost. Where handover is in the future this is a stabilised full year from handover — a rate on the price, not a figure reduced by the construction period. The schedule shows what each year actually books.
- Net yield
- (Rent collected after the vacancy allowance − maintenance and management − service charge) ÷ purchase price. Stabilised on the same basis as the gross yield.
- Rent growth
- Compound annual movement in gross rent, applied from handover and stepping at each anniversary of it, which is when a tenancy renews. It may be negative. It does not touch the service charge, which is held flat in nominal terms.
- ROI
- Total profit over the whole hold ÷ total cash invested (price + all acquisition costs). Unlevered. Not an annual rate.
- ROE
- Total profit over the whole hold ÷ equity contributed (deposit + all acquisition and finance costs), after debt service. Levered. Not an annual rate.
- Cash-on-cash return
- Year-one operating cash flow, after debt service where there is a mortgage, ÷ cash invested. Reported separately from ROI/ROE and never merged with it. Year one means the first year of the schedule as it stands: where that year falls before handover it carries no rent, so on a mortgaged off-plan purchase the figure is negative — that is the year you fund out of pocket, and it is shown rather than smoothed away.
- IRR
- The annualised rate that discounts the dated cash-flow schedule above to a net present value of zero, solved numerically. Where the schedule has no sign change, or the solver does not converge on a single meaningful rate, we print “—” rather than substitute a simpler annualised-return figure.
