Why it scores 64
Price per sqft vs registered sales
Dubai Land Department open dataAED 1,530/sqft (est.)
The DLD median for apartments in Dubai South is AED 1,379/sqft (as of 10 Nov 2026). This project's figure is our estimate from the listed prices and unit sizes, so no gap is shown here; the score's price factor reads it at half weight, capped at 70. The gap appears once the register shows ten of this project's own sales or the developer states a price per sqft.
