Our own stock as of 28 August 2026, towers with three or more lots and a known area. District average — AED 2,588/ft², median lot AED 3.7 million out of 266 lots.
Dubai Marina in our database is 266 lots, median AED 3.7 million at an average price of AED 2,588 per square foot (~$705/ft²). KG Tower, by our one listing, comes in at AED 1,154 (~$315/ft²) — half that.
A figure like that always comes from several factors at once: the building's age, a large lot size, a location set back from the waterfront and, likely, the unit's condition.
A large lot lowers the price per square foot on its own — that rule holds across the whole city. A twenty-storey building without a known developer, in a built-out Marina, adds a name-recognition discount on top of that.
One listing isn't a market, so the conclusion is a cautious one: this is an opportunity for a buyer who wants square footage in Marina and doesn't care about the building's name. But the condition needs checking with particular care.

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.

What has been written about the building, its developer and Dubai Marina
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.
A tall branded tower under construction in Dubai Marina. Infill development in a built-out district has a particular economics — for the buyer and for the neighbours.
The property arm of a large regional engineering and contracting group, with towers in the Marina and on the Palm. What an engineering parent means in a delivered building.
A smaller developer with a mid-2000s Dubai Marina building. Most towers are not landmarks, and valuing an ordinary one is a different exercise — here is how it works.
I will tell you which layouts are available now, what entry really costs and what the people who live in or let the building think of it — no marketing language.
