Historical transaction context: The asking rate is 35.5% (~AED 825,160 on a 920 sq.ft. unit) above recent comparable off-plan registrations in Dubai Islands. Paying above recent nearby transactions increases your upfront entry basis—local secondary prices would need to sit at least 35.5% higher—plus ~4%–6% in registration and resale costs—at handover just to match today's baseline.

Pricing vs. Closed Sales

+35.5% (+AED 897/sq.ft.)

Asking price is 35.5% above comparable off-plan sales (+AED 897/sq.ft.)

The developer asks AED 3,424/sq.ft., whereas comparable off-plan registrations in Dubai Islands sold for a median of AED 2,527/sq.ft. (~AED 825,160 higher for the same area).

Why this matters: The asking rate is 35.5% (~AED 825,160 on a 920 sq.ft. unit) above recent comparable off-plan registrations in Dubai Islands. Paying above recent nearby transactions increases your upfront entry basis—local secondary prices would need to sit at least 35.5% higher—plus ~4%–6% in registration and resale costs—at handover just to match today's baseline.

Handover Horizon (Potential Risk)

~4.2 Yrs (2030-06)

Estimated ~4.2-year horizon until 2030-06 target handover (~50 months)

Target completion is scheduled for 2030-06. SKID does not assume or predict developer delays, but a ~4.2-year construction window carries potential schedule and market-cycle exposure.

Why this matters: Capital committed during construction remains illiquid until handover, and multi-year timelines carry potential exposure to contractor pacing, phased delivery, and market shifts.

Competing Supply (Potential Risk)

80 Launches

80 competing off-plan launches tracked in Dubai Islands — potential handover competition

SKID tracks 80 competing off-plan launches in Dubai Islands. While phased handovers and district demand may absorb new inventory, a concentrated pipeline increases potential competition among resale buyers at handover.

Why this matters: Future supply impact is a potential risk rather than a certainty: if multiple towers deliver in the same window, sellers may face longer marketing times or more competitive secondary resale pricing.
