Dubai: A three-bedroom duplex apartment in the Royal Atlantis has set a record for the highest price per square foot for a property on the Palm Jumeirah. The deal was signed for Dh44 million.
The deal, at Dh12,387 per square foot, is the second highest in Dubai after an apartment in the Bulgari Resort and Residences that was sold for Dh13,543 per sq ft.
The property has been acquired by a first-time Russian investor. Penthouse.ae, the entity facilitating the transaction, released a statement on Wednesday confirming the deal.
“This landmark deal further underscores the continued interest in branded residences, including iconic names like SLS Residences, Armani, Six Senses and the Royal Atlantis,” said Petri Mannila, Head of Luxury at Penthouse.ae. “High-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, institutional investors and family property funds are driving demand for luxury properties north of AED 20M, resulting in a shortage of available units for both end-users and investors in the market.”
Mannila added: “With supply constrained and prices maintaining an upward trajectory, the current window of investment opportunity is exceedingly promising.”
