Dubai Land Department open dataAED 2,011/sqft (est.)
The DLD median for apartments in Dubai South is AED 1,399/sqft (as of 24 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.

Where the figures come from, and what escrow means
We do not yet hold a DLD project registration number for Sky Residences. An escrow account is a regulated account the developer cannot draw on freely: your payments go in and are released as building progresses. Escrow accounts and project registrations are published by the Dubai Land Department (DLD) on dubailand.gov.ae. Always check them, and pay into the escrow account only, before handing over a deposit. How to read the DLD register.

Sky Residences: questions buyers ask
How much does Sky Residences cost?
Prices at Sky Residences start from AED 1,599,000 and reach AED 4,388,214 (about $435K) for 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom homes. Asking prices come from the developer and change without notice.
What is the price per sqft at Sky Residences?
The asking price is around AED 2,011 per sqft, our estimate from the starting price and the unit sizes rather than a figure the developer has stated. Per-sqft prices vary by floor, view and finish within one building.
When is the Sky Residences handover date?
Sky Residences is expected to hand over in Q4 2026. The project is under construction. Handover dates are the developer's own estimate and off-plan projects can move, so confirm the current date in writing before you pay anything.
What is the Sky Residences payment plan?
Sky Residences is offered on a 10/40/5 + 45 post-handover plan: 10% on booking, 40% during construction and 5% at handover, with 45% spread after you get the keys. Developers change plans between phases, so confirm yours before signing.
What is the Rendr Score of Sky Residences?
Sky Residences scores 55 of 100 on the Rendr Score, fair, as of 24 Sep 2026. The score weighs seven factors: the price against what buyers paid in Expo City Dubai according to DLD, the developer's record, the payment plan, location, resale, construction progress and the paperwork on file; 5 of the 7 are assessed here, 85% of the weight. Our opinion, not investment advice; every input is on this page.
Who is the developer of Sky Residences?
Sky Residences is being developed by Expo City Dubai. It sits in Expo City Dubai, Dubai. You can see every project by Expo City Dubai we list, and how their asking prices compare with registered sales, on their page.
Can foreigners buy at Sky Residences?
Sky Residences is in a freehold area, so buyers of any nationality can own a home here outright rather than on a lease. Dubai sets which zones are freehold; confirm the title type on your own unit's contract before paying.
Is Sky Residences registered with DLD?
We do not yet hold a project registration number for Sky Residences. Every off-plan project must be registered and sell through an escrow account, where the money is released as building progresses. Check both at dubailand.gov.ae before you pay.
