Method
These are recorded ADREC sale transactions — what units in this project actually sold for. They are not developer listings, asking prices, or availability. Median AED per built-up square foot is converted from the registry's square-metre basis at 10.7639 sqft per sqm. Phase-level registry entries are grouped under the parent project. Projects are published only where at least 30 sales are on record. This is market information for professional use, not investment, valuation, legal or tax advice.
