Asking price is 49.1% higher than nearby completed homes (+AED 625/sq.ft.)
The developer asks AED 1,485,224 (~AED 1,898/sq.ft. for a published 782 sq.ft. starting unit), while comparable residential homes in Dubai Production City sold for a median of AED 1,273/sq.ft. (AED 995,995 for the same size).
AED 1,898 / sq.ft.
AED 1,485,224 starting price · 782 sq.ft.
Headline AED/sq.ft. (AED 1,898/sq.ft.) is calculated directly from the published starting 1 BR unit (AED 1,485,224 ÷ 782 sq.ft.).
AED 1,273 / sq.ft.
AED 995,995 for same size
Median price paid for completed residential homes nearby (DLD).
+AED 625 / sq.ft. (+49.1% Premium)
+AED 489,229 on this unit
Positive (+) is a premium above benchmark median; negative (-) is a discount below benchmark median (not a guaranteed gain).
Why this difference matters: The asking rate is 49.1% (~AED 489,229 on a 782 sq.ft. unit) above recent nearby completed homes in Dubai Production City. Because future property appreciation is never guaranteed, local secondary prices would need to rise by at least 49.1%—plus ~4%–6% in registration and resale costs—before handover just to match today's baseline.
