Studio off-plan in Motor City
66 priced studio unit records across 9 off-plan projects in Motor City, Dubai. The median asking price is AED 871,150 for a median 416 sqft, which is AED 2,134 per sqft. The middle half of the book runs AED 809,250 to AED 895,098, 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 9% above the community median rate, which is what the rung mix does to an address level average. 14 of the 26 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 studio records, so a scheme with three records is not being compared like one with three hundred. 6 of the 9 projects were not marked sold out at the last observation. Handover dates are the developer's published target and move often.
