What Danube asks here

Universe	Records	Median price	Median sqft	AED/sqft
Danube in Business Bay	445	AED 3.50M	1,128	3,227
Every builder in Business Bay	1,458	AED 3.61M	1,209	3,188
Danube across the UAE	1,370	AED 2.58M	853	2,549
Every project in Dubai	42,490	AED 1.91M	916	2,021

Each row is a median over unit records carrying both a price and a floor area, so a scheme publishing 400 rows weighs 400 times. A builder can sit above a community rate purely on product mix, which is why the bedroom and type splits below matter more than the headline.

Why a community median rarely describes the product a buyer came for: the community median is priced for the flat next door.
