A Select Group complex in Dubai Marina up to 52 storeys, complete. Three of our lots run from AED 1.59 million (~$433K) to AED 3.75 million (~$1.02M) at a price per square foot around AED 2,585 (~$705/ft²).
Bay Central is a multi-tower residential complex in Dubai Marina developed by Select Group. Up to 52 storeys, complete. The residence count isn't given in the building record. The pool, spa and dining are confirmed.
The complex also includes Bay Central West Tower, a 44-storey building covered separately in this series: it has its own page because propsearch keeps a separate building record for it.
Select Group has a long history in the district: it also owns The Torch and the 125-storey Six Senses Residences Dubai Marina, currently under construction.
Our three listings run from AED 1.59 million to AED 3.75 million at a price per square foot around AED 2,585 — practically matching the Marina average of AED 2,625 (~$715/ft²).
The range sits below the district median (AED 3.8 million), meaning these are compact-to-mid-size units. As an entry into the Marina without a brand or newness premium, this is exactly a market-rate offer.
The complex sits at the entrance to the marina from the Dubai Harbour side — a position that gives the upper floors open views of the inlet.
Confirm the specific tower: in a complex made up of several buildings, they differ in height, view and sometimes even management company. The price gap between towers can be bigger than the gap between floors within one of them.
The building is complete: the condition of the common areas, the current fee rate and any capital works plans should be checked and requested in advance.

Yes, the building was handed over in 2012. This is ready housing: you can move in or let it out right after the deal.
Dubai Marina. The original high-rise waterfront: a dense forest of towers around a man-made marina, and still the busiest rental market in the city.
The database currently holds 4 lots in this project, from 1 600 000 AED; 1 of them priced below the market, the deepest discount 7%. Prices move every day, so it is worth asking for the current list for this building.
Swimming pool, Spa and sauna, Restaurants. The list comes from the project description and covers the whole complex.
What has been written about the building, its developer and Dubai Marina
A developer built around Dubai Marina and the harbour districts. Why the water is the whole thesis, what a waterfront service charge looks like, and where the resale market for these units sits.
Nakheel awarded AED 3.5bn of contracts for 544 Palm Jebel Ali villas due in Q4 2028; Dubai Retail is building The Yard, the island's first retail hub with 26 concepts, for 2027; and Select Group became the first private developer on the island. How a stalled project is turning into a district.
The largest developer’s return to Dubai Marina prompted a look at its earlier projects there. The valuable number in that statistic is not the growth percentage.
A district designed from nothing on a Vancouver waterfront model, built between 2003 and 2008. The numbers behind it, and what a fully man-made location tells you about how value is created in Dubai.
A developer with buildings on both sides of Sheikh Zayed Road. The two districts look interchangeable on a map and behave differently — here is what the price gap actually buys.
A Dubai Marina tower from 2011. In buildings owned mostly by absent investors, decisions stop being made — and the symptoms are visible in an afternoon if you know them.
A Dubai Marina tower completed in 2023. Much of the stock in a newly delivered building is sold on by off-plan investors — and buying from one is its own transaction.
A Dubai Marina tower completed a few years ago. Buildings at this age go through a predictable event that shapes their prices — and it is a buying opportunity if you can see it.

I will send the available layouts, the real entry price and what owners and tenants actually say about the building — without the brochure language.
