About the project
St. Regis The Residences Tower 1 is a 67-storey residential building in The Opera District, currently under construction.
Height — 262 metres.
The database currently holds 4 lots in this project, from 3 150 000 AED; 2 of them priced below the market, the deepest discount 10%.
The first tower of the St. Regis residences in Downtown, a Marriott International brand. Burj Khalifa and Dubai Fountain views, handover in Q4 2026.
What kind of building this is
St. Regis The Residences are branded residences in Downtown, the complex's first tower. The brand belongs to Marriott International and, within its portfolio, covers the top tier with full hotel service.
The address's value here is extremely concrete and measured in the view: the upper floors look out on Burj Khalifa and the fountains on the lake. In Downtown that's the main price driver — the gap between apartments with a direct tower view and those without reaches a third of the price for an identical layout.
The project's handover date is Q4 2026. At the time of this review, the building was at its final stage, and a buyer was dealing with a nearly finished asset.
What one actual deal shows
In August 2026 the tower had an urgent sale, and its numbers illustrate the market well. The unit: three bedrooms, type C1, 1,754 square feet (about 163 m²), a high floor, a full view of Burj Khalifa and the fountains.
The seller's price was AED 7.25 million. Comparable assignment listings at the time stood in the AED 8–8.5 million range, and the latest registered deals in the city in this segment closed at AED 7.7–8 million. The gap to the market was up to AED 1.25 million.
A discount like that almost always signals a motivated seller rather than a problem with the asset — but that's exactly what needs verifying. In assignments, an urgent discount typically comes from one of three causes: the instalment schedule isn't sustainable, the seller needs cash outside the deal, or the unit carries a restriction not mentioned in the listing.
What to check on an assignment at an address like this
First — how much has already been paid to the developer and what remains on the instalment plan: the seller's price and the full cost of entering the unit are different numbers. Second — the developer's consent to the assignment and its processing fee; in branded projects that's a separate line item.
Third — what exactly the specification records about the view. Phrases like "full view" don't exist in a contract: there's a unit number, a floor and an orientation, and those are what need checking, ideally with a site visit.
Fourth — the service charge. Hotel-branded residences in Downtown cost more to maintain than ordinary towers in the district, and over the holding period that difference is noticeable. Ask for the budget in AED per square foot per year, not as a percentage.
A public listing for a specific unit from 19 August 2026 — apartment type and area, floor, seller's price, the range for comparable assignment listings, the level of the latest registered deals, and the project's handover date.
Construction progress

Where it is
A mortgage covers the final instalment
The final payment on this building falls in 2026 — under off-plan plans that is 40–60% of the price in one go. A UAE bank closes it: the flat becomes the security, and nothing is added on top of what the developer has already been paid.
- Up to 80% of the appraised value, no extra down payment
- 3.99% fixed for three years, up to 25 years in term
- 6–12 months before the keys — the bank wants six months of income history
Already been invoiced, or missed the date? That is not a dead end either — write and we will look at what the developer will accept.
