Dubai Land Department transaction register, records through 8 September 2026. Recomputed on every page load.

Marina Gate is not one building. The Land Department holds three separate registers under that name — tower one, tower two, and the hotel-branded residence beside them — and they are registered under three different spellings, one of which differs from another by a single letter. Anyone comparing a price without first establishing which of the three they are looking at is comparing the wrong thing. This page is tower two only.

It is also the youngest register in our Dubai Marina family and the most expensive per square foot. Sales begin in the middle of the last decade, and roughly half of everything recorded since is the developer selling rather than owners reselling — the register-mix line on this page states that split for the batch you are reading. A register still that close to its launch phase is not a long price history, and the whole-register figure sits well below what the tower trades at today, which is why the last four months lead here as everywhere else.

The mix runs one, two and three bedrooms with a thin tier above. The three-bedroom tier is where the tower's premium concentrates, and it is markedly firmer per square foot than the one and two-bedroom tiers beneath it — the reverse of the usual pattern, where the smallest unit carries the highest rate. It is the row most worth reading on its own rather than through a building-wide figure.

Every figure is computed from the Land Department register at the moment you load the page. Nothing here is an asking price, a valuation or a portal estimate.

Marina Gate 2 sale prices by bedroom

Median recorded prices for The Residence at Marina Gate 2 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 905 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 Marina Gate 2

  • A large pre-handover sales period. A tower sold heavily before completion carries investors who committed years before they took the keys, and a share of them exit for reasons that have nothing to do with the building.
  • Payment-plan exposure. Where a purchase was funded on a developer plan, a change in income or in finance costs puts the unit on the market on the owner's timetable rather than the market's.
  • A premium price point. The higher the ticket, the thinner the buyer pool, and a thin pool is what turns a seller with a deadline into a seller who accepts a discount.
  • Short-let dependence. Marina stock at this end of the market is frequently underwritten on holiday-let returns, and a change in that market moves owners faster than a change in long-let rents would.

What to check before you offer on Marina Gate 2

  • Establish which Marina Gate building the unit is in before you compare anything. Three registers, three price histories, and names that differ by a letter — this is the single easiest mistake to make in this part of the Marina.
  • Read the three-bedroom row on its own terms rather than through the building median. In this tower the large-unit tier carries the premium, and a building-wide figure understates it.
  • 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.

Marina Gate 2 — common questions

Does this page cover all of Marina Gate?
No. The Land Department keeps three separate registers under the Marina Gate name — tower one, tower two, and the hotel-branded residence — and this page is tower two only. Every figure here is computed from that tower's own recorded sales.
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 three-bedroom rate per square foot higher than the smaller units here?
Because this tower's premium sits in its large stock rather than its small stock, which is the reverse of the usual Dubai pattern. In most buildings the smallest unit carries the firmest rate per square foot, because the lowest total ticket has the widest pool of buyers. Here the recorded sales run the other way, and the register is the evidence for it rather than an explanation of it. The page recomputes every row on load, so you can check whether it still holds.
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.
