The in-depth review
Why it has no score yet
Price per sqft vs registered sales
ADREC / DARIAED 1,064/sqft (est.)
The ADREC median for villas and townhouses in Saadiyat Island is AED 1,734/sqft (as of 9 Oct 2026). This project's figure is our estimate from the listed prices and unit sizes, so no gap is shown here; the Resale Score reads only the building's own registered sales, never an estimate. The gap appears once the register shows ten of this project's own sales.
