A project is in this list when its developer publishes a delivery date in 2030 and it is still off-plan: a project already marked delivered is not counted. AED/sqft is the project's own median over its priced unit records, and priced units is how many of those records it carries. Every project landing in 2030 is listed, including the 1 with no priced units.
