Its sales, year by year
Apartment and villa sales registered on the developer's projects. The line tracks the median price per square foot of apartments (for a villa, the registry area is the plot).
Median apartment price on its projects: AED 869/sq ft (≈ EUR 2,300 per m²) in 2015, AED 3,352/sq ft (≈ EUR 8,890 per m²) in 2026.
What buyers of its delivered projects have seen
For each delivered project, we compare the median price per square foot of apartments paid off-plan with the median price of their resales over the last 24 months, and the median rent of apartment Ejari leases signed over 12 months with that resale price.

Past observations based on medians per square foot, to give you a concrete benchmark: not a valuation of any property, not a forecast and not a promise of return. Price gaps are gross, before purchase costs (4% DLD fee, commissions) and resale costs; the yield is gross, before service charges, vacancy and management.

9 available projects in 3 areas
Method and sources
- Projects: DLD project registry. A project is attributed to the developer when the company holding it in the registry belongs to its group (company name or known project company). Projects by other developers built in its communities are not attributed to it.
- Sales and prices: DLD transaction registry. Volumes count apartments and villas; prices per square foot, gaps and yields cover apartments only, offices, shops and hotel rooms excluded, because a villa's area in the registry is its plot (1 m² = 10.764 sq ft). 'Off-plan' covers first sales and resales before handover.
- Resale vs off-plan gap: only for delivered projects with at least 10 off-plan sales and 10 resales over 24 months. The annual equivalent runs between the median date of off-plan sales and that of resales.
- Rents: residential Ejari leases for a single apartment, signed over 12 months, at least 10 per project.
- Profile facts: official websites, annual reports, press releases and aggregators (Propsearch, etc.), each linked to its source. Figures 'according to the developer' are quoted as published: the registry cannot confirm them.
Computed by SwissPro360 from DLD open data, up to 12 November 2026.
