Marina Star Residences: Condor Group's High-Rise in Dubai Marina
Marina Star Residences is a completed residential tower by Condor Group, located in the Marina Star sub-district of Dubai Marina. Construction began in September 2009. The project reached its expected completion in October 2023. As of mid-2026, the building has been delivered for close to three years. Buyers here are purchasing a finished asset, not making an off-plan commitment.
A Mature Waterfront Address
Dubai Marina is one of Dubai's most established residential districts. It functions as a largely self-contained urban neighborhood: the Marina Walk gives residents direct pedestrian access to retail, restaurants, and the waterfront promenade. The DMCC Metro station on the Red Line connects the district to Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport. Sheikh Zayed Road borders the area to the east, making road access to Business Bay and DIFC straightforward outside peak hours.
The Marina Star pocket sits within the core of the Marina district, not on its edges. That matters for day-to-day convenience and for rental demand. The address is recognized, accessible, and surrounded by established infrastructure.
AED 33.78 Million: What This Price Means
The listed price is AED 33,778,000. Both the minimum and maximum figures are identical, which points to a single unit or a specific configuration rather than a range across multiple units. At this level in Dubai Marina, you are at the top end of the residential market in the district.
The available property types are apartments, duplexes, and penthouses. A unit priced at AED 33.7 million almost certainly sits at the penthouse or large duplex end of that range. This is not a mid-market buy-to-let acquisition. A buyer at this price point is acquiring a large, high-floor residence in one of Dubai's most recognizable waterfront addresses. For rental purposes, the tenant profile at this price would be high-net-worth individuals or senior executives seeking a furnished full-floor unit.
Who Each Unit Type Suits
Apartments in the building attract buyers who want a single-level layout at a manageable footprint. Duplexes suit residents who prefer multi-level living and want the feel of a house without leaving an urban tower. Penthouses are for buyers who want upper-floor views across the Marina basin and the full amenity package accessible from the top of the building. The presence of all three types in one project gives the building range, but the single price point in the current listing suggests one specific configuration is on the market now.
Amenities
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Recreation | Shared Pool, Barbecue Area, Golf Club and Clubhouse |
| Wellness | Well-being and Fitness, Shared Spa |
| Dining and Retail | Restaurants, Cafe and Restaurants, Retail Facilities |
| Community | Landscaped Gardens, Community Hall, Children's Play Area, Mosque |
| Services | Valet Parking, CCTV Security |
Fourteen amenities across five categories is a comprehensive package for a residential tower. The golf club and clubhouse stands out. Most residential buildings in Dubai Marina offer a pool and a gym as the standard offering. An on-site clubhouse with golf access goes well beyond that baseline.
The combination of valet parking, a spa, on-site dining options, and a private clubhouse points to a building that caters to residents who expect hotel-adjacent services in their home building. The children's play area and landscaped gardens add family infrastructure, but the overall tone of the amenity set skews toward professionals and high-spending residents who do not want to leave the building for daily comforts.
Delivered October 2023
The project completed in October 2023. The building has been standing for nearly three years. There is no off-plan execution risk in this purchase. A buyer can inspect the completed unit, the amenities, and the building management before signing. That removes the uncertainty that comes with acquiring a project that still needs to be built.
Getting In at 50%
| Milestone | Amount |
|---|---|
| Down Payment | 50% |
| On Handover | 50% |
The payment structure divides the purchase price into two equal tranches: half on contract and half at handover. There is no post-handover installment plan. For a completed project, this means the full amount transfers in two payments within a short window. Buyers need substantial liquidity available at the point of entry. The structure suits buyers who have the capital ready rather than those who need an extended schedule to spread the financial commitment.
