Dubai Land Department transaction register, records through 8 September 2026. Recomputed on every page load.
23 Marina is the most unusual register we publish in Dubai Marina, and the reason is its unit mix. There are no studios in this tower and no one-bedroom apartments either. Every sale the Land Department has recorded here since 2009 sits at two bedrooms or above, and three-bedroom units alone account for roughly two thirds of them.
That single fact undoes most of the comparisons a buyer would normally make. A Dubai Marina average is built largely on studios and one-bedroom stock, so it describes nothing in this building — and it is built at a firmer rate per square foot than large apartments generally trade at, because small units carry a higher rate per foot almost everywhere in the city.
Inside this tower, though, that rule inverts. The four-bedroom tier here has recorded the highest rate per square foot in the building, not the lowest — the opposite of the pattern most buyers carry in from elsewhere. Those units run to floor areas closer to a villa than to a Marina apartment, and a negotiation built on 'it is large, so it should be cheaper per foot' is a negotiation against the evidence on this page.
Every figure is computed from the Land Department register at the moment you load the page, four-month window first. These are recorded sale prices, not asking prices.
23 Marina sale prices by bedroom
Median recorded prices for 23 Marina by bedroom count. Each row is priced on the last 4 months wherever that period holds enough sales, and steps back only as far as it has to — 12 months, then 3 years, then the whole record. The period each row actually covers is named beside it, with the number of sales behind it, so you can see exactly how thin or deep the figure you are reading is. Every row also shows what has traded in the last 4 months, including when that is nothing — set against the full record of 876 recorded transactions. These are the prices buyers actually paid — not asking prices, and not a district average.

A bedroom type with fewer than five recorded transactions keeps its count and loses its median: below that sample a middle value is arithmetic, not a market rate. A median taken across the whole register mixes prices from every year the building has traded, so each row above is priced on the most recent period that clears that threshold. Rows can sum to less than the building total — very large units are held out of the table for the same reason.

Why below-market resale shows up in 23 Marina
- A large-unit register. The biggest apartments in any Dubai tower have the smallest pool of buyers, and a thin buyer pool is what turns a seller who needs a deadline into a seller who accepts a discount.
- Holding cost. Service charges are levied per square foot, so a large unit runs up a materially bigger annual bill than a small one — and that arithmetic moves an owner who is no longer using the apartment.
- Long-held ownership. Family-sized stock bought years ago changes hands for life reasons — relocation, an estate, a business that needs cash — and those sellers price for certainty rather than for the top of the range.
- Age. Units first recorded in 2009 are at the stage where a full refurbishment is due, and on an apartment this size that is a large enough number for some owners to discount instead.

- Do not benchmark this tower against a Dubai Marina average or against a studio-and-one-bed building. Neither contains the product you are buying, and both will make a fair price here look expensive.
- Read the exact bedroom row and the typical size shown on it, then check the rate per square foot against the row above rather than assuming it falls as units get bigger. In this building it rises.
- Ask for the current service charge per square foot and the last two years of it. In Dubai it is set per building and reviewed annually, and a rise of a dirham or two per square foot moves a mid-size flat's running cost by thousands a year.
- Ask which register the unit sits on. A completed home changes hands on the secondary register at the Land Department; a pre-handover unit is an assignment of the original sale contract, needs the developer's no-objection certificate, and carries whatever is left of the payment plan.
23 Marina — common questions
- Why is there no studio or one-bedroom row for this building?
- Because the Land Department has never recorded a sale of either here. The tower's unit mix starts at two bedrooms, so those rows would be empty and we do not print empty rows.
- Is the price data on this page asking prices or actual sales?
- Actual sales. Every figure comes from the Dubai Land Department's record of completed transactions — the price recorded when ownership legally changed hands.
- Why is the rate per square foot here different from the Dubai Marina average?
- Because the district average is built mostly on studios and one-bedroom apartments, which trade at firmer rates per square foot than large units almost everywhere in Dubai. This building contains none of that stock, so the district figure is not a comparison — it is a different product.
- Can I tell from this data whether a unit is selling below its original price?
- No. The Land Department records a developer's first sale and a pre-handover resale under the same code, and the export carries no unit identifier, so an original price cannot be traced to a later sale of the same apartment.
- How current is this register?
- The page states the date of the most recent recorded sale it holds and recomputes every figure on load. Records arrive in batches, so the newest few days are typically not yet included.
