This 3-bedroom apartment in Seapoint Tower 2 at Emaar Beachfront is being offered as a distress deal at AED 8,630,735, reflecting a 12.1% discount from the original price of AED 9,822,684. The unit measures 1,828 sq.ft, placing the entry basis at approximately AED 4,721 per sq.ft. Positioned on a high floor, the apartment benefits from full Palm Jumeirah views and features three balconies, maximising both outlook and natural light. The property is scheduled for completion in Q1 2028, with a staged payment plan available. The immediate investment case is clear: the buyer secures a large, high-floor waterfront apartment in a branded Emaar project at a visible discount to launch and resale pricing, with the benefit of a payment plan that reduces capital outlay during the construction period. This is not a speculative off-plan position with uncertain delivery; Emaar’s track record and the advanced stage of the project provide a degree of delivery confidence that is not always present in comparable launches.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
OVERVIEW
LOCATION & TRANSPORT
Seapoint is located within Emaar Beachfront, a master-planned island community situated between Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah. The address offers direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road, putting the wider city within practical reach for both residents and tenants. Dubai Marina, JBR, and Media City are all within a short drive, and the new Harbour development is designed to support both private vehicle and ride-hailing access. The planned pedestrian infrastructure and proximity to the marina mean that future residents will benefit from a walkable environment, with retail, dining, and leisure options integrated into the wider district. For investors, this location supports both end-user and rental demand, as the area appeals to professionals, families, and international buyers seeking a waterfront lifestyle with city connectivity.
AMENITIES & SURROUNDING
Seapoint is part of a multi-building complex developed by Emaar, with Tower 2 rising 43 storeys and offering a full suite of amenities. Residents will have access to a private beach, swimming pools, landscaped podium gardens, a fully equipped gym, and children’s play areas. The project also includes dedicated parking, 24-hour security, and concierge services. The wider Emaar Beachfront community is planned with retail outlets, cafes, and restaurants at podium level, as well as direct access to a 1.5km private beach. The surrounding infrastructure is designed to support a resort-style living environment, with the added benefit of being adjacent to Dubai Harbour’s marina and cruise terminal. This creates a setting that is both residential and leisure-focused, supporting demand from both long-term residents and short-stay visitors.
MARKET
At an entry price of AED 4,721 per sq.ft, this unit sits above the average for Dubai Marina but is in line with recent Emaar Beachfront transactions, especially for larger, high-floor apartments with full Palm views. Recent Land Department data shows 1-bedroom units in Seapoint Tower 2 transacting at AED 4,015–4,214 per sq.ft, with 2-bedroom units at AED 3,648–3,800 per sq.ft. Three-bedroom units with premium views command a higher basis, particularly as handover approaches and the community matures. The key investor question is rentability and liquidity: Emaar Beachfront is positioned as a premium waterfront address, and larger units tend to attract both end-user families and international buyers seeking a second home or rental asset. The payment plan structure reduces upfront capital risk, but investors should factor in service charges, future supply, and the potential for price competition from other new launches. The main risk is that the area is still under development, so short-term liquidity may be more limited until handover and community completion.
CONCLUSION
This Seapoint Tower 2 distress deal offers a clear investor case: a high-floor, three-bedroom waterfront apartment with full Palm views, secured at a visible discount to original pricing and with a staged payment plan. The Emaar Beachfront location supports both rental and resale demand, and the project’s amenity set is designed to appeal to a broad tenant and buyer pool. The main considerations are the construction timeline and the evolving nature of the wider district; however, Emaar’s delivery record and the advanced stage of the project reduce completion risk. For investors seeking exposure to Dubai’s waterfront residential market, this deal provides a balanced entry point, combining capital efficiency with long-term usability and resale potential. The discount and payment flexibility make this a practical option for those seeking a branded, high-specification asset in a maturing waterfront district.

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.

Rents, service charges, fees, vacancy, handover dates, financing terms and sale prices vary by unit and over time; past prices are not a guide to future prices. Returns are not guaranteed and capital is at risk.
