425 priced 1 BR unit records across 13 off-plan projects in Motor City, Dubai. The median asking price is AED 1,391,000 for a median 751 sqft, which is AED 1,945 per sqft.

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. 10 of the 13 projects were not marked sold out at the last observation. Handover dates are the developer's published target and move often.
