Buyers paid a median of AED 2,944/sqft in this project (off-plan sales, last 6 months, 133 registered sales, as of 10 Nov 2026) against the DLD median of AED 2,250/sqft for apartments in Bur Dubai, as of 10 Nov 2026. DLD registers every sale in Dubai, and names the project on each. Both figures are sales of homes that were not built yet: this project's against its area's. Asking from AED 2,900/sqft (est.).

How each factor was measured
Each factor with what it was measured on. Its score and the reasoning are in the full breakdown.
- Price against what buyers actually paid
- 133 registered off-plan sales here, against the median of 146 off-plan sales in Bur Dubai · DLD

- Construction on schedule
- 0% built, 0% due by now (handover Q4 2029): judged once 10% of the build is due · DLD
- How much is still being built nearby
