1 bedroom off-plan in Business Bay
468 priced 1 BR unit records across 27 off-plan projects in Business Bay, Dubai. The median asking price is AED 2,544,999 for a median 826 sqft, which is AED 2,864 per sqft. The middle half of the book runs AED 2,150,000 to AED 2,778,000, so half of what a buyer will be shown sits inside that spread rather than at the headline number.

Every figure in a row is a median over that project's own 1 BR records, so a scheme with three records is not being compared like one with three hundred. 22 of the 27 projects were not marked sold out at the last observation. Handover dates are the developer's published target and move often.
