1 bedroom off-plan in Motor City

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. The middle half of the book runs AED 1,292,999 to AED 1,621,973, so half of what a buyer will be shown sits inside that spread rather than at the headline number.

Against Motor City as a whole it is 0% below the community median rate, which is what the rung mix does to an address level average. 31 of the 62 other communities deep enough to benchmark this rung ask less per square foot.

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.

Is a 1 BR in Motor City expensive for Dubai?

Why the address moves the rate further than the bedroom count does, measured across every pair like this one: address beats bedroom count. The whole rung across the UAE is on the 1 bedroom page, and the same ticket cut by budget rather than by rooms is in off-plan by budget.
