Marina Star

Marina Star is a completed 25-storey residential tower developed by Condor Group in Dubai Marina, offering a small collection of six residences ranging from one-bedroom apartments to full-floor five-bedroom penthouses.

# The tower and its position in Dubai Marina

Dubai Marina has long been the address that reconciles urban density with waterfront living, and Marina Star sits within that established grid as a boutique offering rather than a volume play. Six residences across 25 floors is an unusual ratio, one that points to floor plates of considerable scale and a building that prioritises privacy over yield. Condor Group completed the tower in Q3 2023, so buyers are acquiring into a finished asset with no delivery risk.

The Marina itself frames the building's context: a 3.5-kilometre artificial canal lined with promenades, restaurants and marina berths, surrounded by some of the most recognisable towers in the Gulf. Marina Star occupies that setting without being a landmark in its own right. Its value is positional and practical rather than architectural.

# Residences, layouts and finish

The six units cover a spectrum that few projects attempt within a single address. At the entry point, two one-bedroom apartments are sized at 713 sq ft and 912 sq ft, priced at AED 2.22 million and AED 3.33 million respectively. The two-bedroom unit reaches 1,154 sq ft at AED 3.52 million. The penthouses, all configured as five-bedroom residences, occupy 6,053 sq ft, 6,755 sq ft and 9,283 sq ft, priced from AED 30.27 million up to AED 40 million.

Furnishing is offered optionally, meaning buyers can take units in shell condition or finished. The service charge runs at AED 20 per sq ft annually.

# Amenities on site

The building's shared facilities are contained rather than expansive, which is consistent with a six-unit scheme. A rooftop swimming pool sits at the top of the tower, a spa operates within the building, and a yoga studio and gym complete the wellness provision.

For a project of this scale, the logic is deliberate: residents are not sharing facilities with hundreds of neighbours. Access and availability are, by design, restricted to a very small group.

# Getting around from Dubai Marina

Marina Beach is 2.1 km away, reachable in around ten minutes by car. Dubai Marina Mall, with its retail floors and waterfront dining, sits 4.7 km out and takes the same ten minutes to drive. For families, Jumeirah International Nurseries is 2 km from the building, a nine-minute drive.

The broader city is accessible without significant travel time. Downtown Dubai, centred on Sheikh Zayed Road, is 24.7 km away and clears in approximately 24 minutes. The Palm Jumeirah is 10 km distant, a 14-minute drive along the coastal route.

# Who Marina Star suits and where it sits in the market

A six-unit building in a completed tower is a fairly specific proposition. It appeals to buyers who want the address and infrastructure of Dubai Marina without the anonymity of a 300-unit development: the owner-occupier who wants a penthouse with immediate occupancy, the investor acquiring a larger floor plate for capital reasons, or the family relocating from London or Geneva who needs proximity to both a beach and an international school within ten minutes.

At AED 40 million for the largest penthouse, pricing sits well inside what comparable waterfront floor plates command in Monaco or central Hong Kong. The asset is delivered, registered and operational. For a buyer sourcing from London or Zurich, that removes a category of risk that off-plan purchases in Dubai have historically carried.
