By Parag Deulgaonkar
It is 45% higher than the bid price
The apartment, leased for Dh85,000 per year, was sold for Dh1.02 million against a reserve price was Dh700,000.
The second apartment that was sold was a 1381.6 square feet, non-leased apartment, in Amwaj Tower 4 in Dubai Marina, for Dh1.37million, nearly 20 per cent more than the bid price of Dh1.15 million.
Nearly 974 property transactions close to Dh2 billion were registered in Dubai Marina during the first quarter 2012, Dubai Land Department ( DLD ) data had revealed.
Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL), a global real estate consultancy, said in January that the Dubai residential market was witnessing signs of selective stability and a broader market recovery was expected in 2013.
"The residential market is close to bottom while prices are increasing in certain areas. We will see some recovery by end of the year, but the market sector as a whole will recover next year," Craig Plumb, Head of Research, Jones Lang LaSalle Mena, had said.
