Price historyRegistered sale prices for this project, in AED per sq ft, with the number of sales in each figure.
AED · sqft
Fewer than 5 sales with a size were registered in the first 90 days, so no launch price is shown.
Prices are over apartments, the type most sales in this project are.
| Bedrooms | Sales, 24 months | Latest median AED/sqft | Latest sales |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 BR | 6 | 1,620 (5) | Nov 2025 – Nov 2026 |
| 2 BR | 37 | 1,411 (6) | May 2026 – Nov 2026 |
| 3 BR | 19 | 1,236 (8) | May 2026 – Nov 2026 |
Launch price: median AED/sqft of the project's off-plan home sales in the 90 days from its first one, for a first sale on or after 1 March 2020; Skyline Index uses the same rule. Latest: home sales of the last 12 months after the launch window, ready and off-plan; the change compares the same home types. The bedroom table compares the launch window with the last 6 months (12 when 6 have fewer than 5 sales). Off-plan registrations include developer sales and resales; DLD open data does not tell them apart. Sales more than 4 times off the median are left out.
