Urgent Sale | 13.5% Below OP | 1 BR in The Central Downtown Tower B

Overview of the deal

This is the resale of a single one-bedroom apartment at The Central Downtown Tower B in Arjan, a building by Aqua Properties Developers that is still under construction. The asking price is AED 1,144,700. According to the owner, that is AED 178,064 (13.5%) below the original price plus the 4% DLD fee, which the owner gives as AED 1,322,764.

Among off-plan properties Dubai buyers can pick up part-way through a developer schedule, this one comes with a full cost sheet and only a short list of instalments left. Every figure on this page comes from the owner and should be verified at enquiry, because urgent resale terms can change and the unit may be reserved before the page is updated.

The unit

The owner lists these details:

• Type: apartment, 1 bedroom

• Size: 901 sq ft

• Floor: within the 7 to 12 range

• View: community and pool

• Balcony: yes

If you are shortlisting a 1 bedroom apartment Dubai developers are still building, ask for the floor plan first. It shows how the 901 sq ft is laid out and confirms the exact floor.

The building and community

The Central Downtown Tower B stands in Arjan and is under construction. As with any off-plan resale in Dubai real estate, what you buy today is a position in the developer's sale contract, not a finished home. The owner's text does not list the building's facilities, so ask for the developer's brochure and the latest construction update before you commit.

Price, discount and payment position

The discount has one stated basis: the original price plus the 4% DLD fee, AED 1,322,764, compared with today's selling price of AED 1,144,700. That gives the owner's figure of AED 178,064, or 13.5%. It is not a valuation against current market prices. On transfer, the owner's breakdown is:

• Payment to the seller: AED 661,382

• DLD transfer fee (4% of the original price plus AED 40): AED 50,916

• Trustee office fee: AED 5,250

• Buyer's agency commission (2% plus VAT): AED 24,039

The owner puts the total due on transfer at AED 741,586. The remaining developer instalments listed by the owner total AED 483,318:

• 1 October 2026: AED 12,719 (this date has already passed)

• 1 November 2026: AED 12,719

• 1 December 2026: AED 457,880

Because the October date has passed, ask whether the seller has paid that instalment or whether it now falls to the buyer. The owner gives the total cost for the buyer as AED 1,224,904. The December instalment is the large one, so a buyer needs those funds ready soon after transfer.

Why this deal and for whom

The deal suits a buyer who has the cash for the transfer and the December instalment and who is comfortable waiting for a June 2028 handover. It can also fit someone weighing Dubai property investment who prefers to see the remaining payment plan Dubai developers set out in writing before signing. No rental income, resale price or return is promised here.
