This is a 3-bedroom plus maid’s apartment in Address Sky View – Tower 1, developed by Emaar and situated in the heart of Downtown Dubai. The property is fully furnished, ready for immediate occupation, and vacant. With a generous size of 1,851 sq.ft, it is positioned on a mid-to-high floor (levels 12–20), offering sea and Sheikh Zayed Road views. The asking price stands at AED 6,800,000, which is approximately 9.3% below the current reference price of AED 7,500,000. This translates to a price per square foot of AED 3,674, presenting a notable discount for a branded, ready residence in one of Dubai’s most sought-after towers. The total buyer cost, including transfer, is AED 7,432,290, with no remaining payment plan obligations.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
OVERVIEW
LOCATION & TRANSPORT
Address Sky View occupies a prominent position in Downtown Dubai, one of the city’s flagship districts. The development is directly linked to the Dubai Metro and The Dubai Mall via an air-conditioned travelator, ensuring seamless access to key retail, dining, and entertainment destinations. Sheikh Zayed Road is immediately accessible by car, providing rapid connections to the wider city, Dubai International Airport, and business hubs such as DIFC and Business Bay. The central location appeals to both residents and tenants seeking convenience and connectivity, with public transport, taxis, and major road networks all within easy reach. The area is well-served by pedestrian walkways, and the tower’s position offers panoramic views of the Gulf and Downtown skyline.
AMENITIES & SURROUNDING
Residents of Address Sky View benefit from a comprehensive suite of amenities, reflecting the project’s collaboration with Address Hotels + Resorts. The building features a rooftop infinity pool on the Sky Bridge, offering 360-degree vistas of Downtown Dubai and the Gulf. Additional facilities include a state-of-the-art fitness centre, spa, and wellness areas, as well as multiple dining options, including signature restaurants and lounges. The development also provides 24-hour concierge and security services, housekeeping, and valet parking. The apartment comes with two dedicated parking spaces and access to communal spaces designed for both relaxation and social gatherings. The wider Downtown Dubai area offers landscaped parks, world-class retail at The Dubai Mall, and cultural attractions such as the Dubai Opera, all within walking distance.
MARKET
The Address Sky View is positioned at the upper end of the Downtown Dubai residential market, benefiting from its branded residence status and direct association with Emaar and Address Hotels + Resorts. Branded residences in this district typically command a price premium due to their design, services, and international recognition. The current asking price, set 9.3% below the reference market value, provides a competitive entry point for investors. The property’s size, layout, and views enhance its rentability, appealing to both long-term tenants and short-term serviced accommodation operators. Liquidity in this segment is generally robust, supported by ongoing demand from international buyers and tenants seeking high-quality, centrally located accommodation. However, investors should consider potential risks such as fluctuations in rental demand linked to macroeconomic factors, and the impact of new supply in the Downtown area. Nonetheless, the combination of brand, location, and discount pricing positions this unit favourably for both yield and capital growth strategies.
CONCLUSION
For investors seeking a ready, fully furnished apartment in a landmark Downtown Dubai address, this 3-bedroom plus maid’s unit in Address Sky View – Tower 1 offers a compelling proposition. The 9.3% discount to prevailing market values provides immediate value, while the project’s amenities, services, and connectivity underpin its long-term appeal to both tenants and end-users. The branded residence model, coupled with Emaar’s reputation, supports liquidity and marketability, though investors should remain mindful of broader market cycles and potential competition from new developments. Overall, this property represents a balanced opportunity for those prioritising location, quality, and a clear pricing advantage in Dubai’s dynamic residential market.

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.
An illustrative model, not a forecast, a valuation, an offer or investment advice. Every figure is generated from the assumptions on this page — some yours, the rest stated defaults, not promises. 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.
Mortgage availability, loan-to-value, rate and term are subject to lender criteria and underwriting; nothing here indicates that finance will be offered.
