Asking price is 54.4% higher than nearby completed homes (+AED 815/sq.ft.)
The developer asks AED 998,823 (~AED 2,315/sq.ft. for a published 431 sq.ft. starting unit), while comparable residential homes in Arjan sold for a median of AED 1,500/sq.ft. (AED 647,100 for the same size).
AED 2,315 / sq.ft.
AED 998,823 starting price · 431 sq.ft.
Headline AED/sq.ft. (AED 2,315/sq.ft.) is calculated from the published starting Studio unit (AED 998,823 ÷ 431 sq.ft.). Because this project spans unit sizes from 431 to 870 sq.ft. and prices from AED 998,823 to AED 1,160,000 and 0BR–1BR layouts, larger units have different total prices and floor areas—select or enter your exact unit in the Offer Calculator to evaluate a larger layout.

AED 647,100 for same size
Median price paid for completed residential homes nearby (DLD).
+AED 815 / sq.ft. (+54.4% Premium)
+AED 351,723 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 54.4% (~AED 351,723 on a 431 sq.ft. unit) above recent nearby completed homes in Arjan. Because future property appreciation is never guaranteed, local secondary prices would need to rise by at least 54.4%—plus ~4%–6% in registration and resale costs—before handover just to match today's baseline.
