ADREC / DARIAED 1,656/sqft (est.)
The ADREC median for apartments in Al Reem Island is AED 1,806/sqft (as of 21 Sep 2026). This project's figure is our estimate from the starting price and the smallest unit, so it is not compared: the gap appears once the register shows this project's own sales or the developer states a price per sqft.
