- On the rate they ask AED 3,680 per sqft against AED 3,188 per sqft for the community as a whole, 15% above it. They are 2.2% of the priced records Business Bay publishes, so the community median is mostly not describing them.

The same address cut by bedroom count rather than by product is on the Business Bay page, and the whole product across the UAE is on the penthouses page. Why the address moves the rate further than anything on the floor plan does: address beats bedroom count. Why a community median rarely describes the product a buyer came for: the community median is priced for the flat next door.
