Condor Group: buying a just-finished flat from someone who never lived in it
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.

Marina Star is a 25-storey residential building in Dubai Marina, completed in 2023.
The developer is Condor Group. The architecture is by Dimensions Engineering Consultants.
The building holds 211 apartments in total.
The database currently holds 2 lots in this project, from 2 300 000 AED.
Twenty-five storeys and 211 residences by Condor Group, handed over in 2023 — one of the newest completed buildings in Dubai Marina. Two listings in our own stock from AED 2.3 million (~$625K) to AED 3.6 million (~$980K).
Marina Star is a 25-storey, 211-residence tower handed over in 2023 by developer Condor Group. The architect is Dimensions Engineering.
Our own stock carries two listings: one- and two-bedrooms, priced at AED 2.3 million and AED 3.6 million, both completed.
Two hundred and eleven apartments over twenty-five storeys works out to around eight per floor — average density for the district.
The median handover year across Dubai Marina is 2011. A building from 2023 is twelve years younger than half the district, and that's its main distinguishing feature.
What that gives you: modern engineering, finishes that don't need replacing, and no accumulated common-property problems or capital works on the horizon.
What it takes away: the plot. The Marina was built out long before 2023, and a new building sits wherever space was left. Check the view from the specific apartment — the odds it runs into a neighbouring tower are higher here than in the first-wave buildings.
Dubai Marina in our database — 266 lots, median AED 3.7 million (~$1.0M) at an average of AED 2,588 per square foot. Both Marina Star listings sit below the median.
For a three-year-old building that's notable: newness in the district usually commands a premium, and none is visible here. The explanation is more often the sizes and the plot's position than the building's quality.
Sizes aren't listed for our lots, so we don't calculate a price per square foot for this tower. Ask for the size and work it out yourself — the spread in price per foot between buildings in the Marina runs as high as 2.8x.
