Pricing vs. Closed Sales

+40.9% (+AED 621/sq.ft.)

Asking price is 40.9% above nearby closed sales (+AED 621/sq.ft.)

The developer asks AED 2,139/sq.ft., whereas comparable homes in Jebel Ali sold for a median of AED 1,518/sq.ft. (~AED 389,125 higher for the same area).

Why this matters: The asking rate is 40.9% (~AED 389,125 on a 626 sq.ft. unit) above recent nearby completed homes in Jebel Ali. Paying above recent nearby transactions increases your upfront entry basis—local secondary prices would need to sit at least 40.9% higher—plus ~4%–6% in registration and resale costs—at handover just to match today's baseline.

Competing Supply (Potential Risk)

22 Launches

22 competing off-plan launches tracked in Jebel Ali — potential handover competition

SKID tracks 22 competing off-plan launches in Jebel Ali. 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.

Handover Horizon (Potential Risk)

~3.4 Yrs (2029-09)

Estimated ~3.4-year horizon until 2029-09 target handover (~41 months)

Target completion is scheduled for 2029-09. SKID does not assume or predict developer delays, but a ~3.4-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.
