Listed projects against the register
Asking prices for the 5 off-plan projects we list here run from AED 2,341 to AED 3,627 per sqft, some of them our own estimates from the starting price and the smallest home, marked as such.
Of the 4 with their own sales in the register, 0 sit more than 5% above the median, 3 within 5% of it, and 1 more than 5% below.
Furthest below it: Design Quarter at D3 (-21%).
A gap is a project's median registered price per sqft (its own off-plan sales, or the developer's asking price where the register has too few) against the median paid for the same kind of home in the same area.

How this is measured
Registered sales come from Dubai Land Department open data and are read again each month; this page is as of September 2026. The median is the middle sale, which a handful of very large or very small homes cannot pull the way an average can.
The figure shown counts sales of homes that were not built yet over the last six months when there are at least 30 of them, otherwise the last twelve, otherwise every sale over twelve months; below 30 sales there is no figure at all. Apartments and villas are kept apart because they do not sell at the same price per sqft.
We list a selected set of off-plan projects in Dubai Design District, not every project there. Asking prices and handover dates are the developers' own and change without notice; a price per sqft we estimated is labelled as an estimate and is never compared with registered sales. Nothing on this page is investment advice.
