Scorecard
| Measure | This developer | Base | What it says, and does not |
|---|---|---|---|
| Completions on record | 0 | 6 off-plan | No completed building by this name appears in the corpus. That is not the same as never having delivered: see the note below. |
| Payment plan discount | 8.48% | 5 schedules | How much less the unit costs in today’s money than its headline, once the published schedule is discounted. Market median 5.13%. Terms, not price: the full ranking. |
| Community footprint | 6 communities | 6 located projects | A spread book: 17% of it sits in Dubai Science Park. Concentration is a fact about exposure, in either direction, not a verdict. |
| Listing completeness | 90% | 6 off-plan | Share of five listing facts published across its own projects: price 100%, handover date 100%, unit inventory 67%, payment plan 83%, coordinates 100%. Market 86%. This scores disclosure, not the buildings. |
Not measured here: share past stated handover; price against neighbours. Each of those needs a base this developer does not reach in the corpus, and a thin number is worse than none.
The scorecard does not measure whether Empire hands over on time. Every project in this corpus carries one handover date, the date its listing stated when we read it. There is no separately recorded original announced date and no earlier reading of the same project to compare against, so no on-time rate can be computed, and we publish none rather than a proxy. The completions column is also bounded by what the corpus can see: 1,030 of the 1,083 delivered buildings on record handed over in 2020 or later (96%), and the corpus only sees projects that were listed on the portals we read, so an absent completion is an absence of evidence rather than evidence of absence. Full definitions, queries and limitations: methodology.

Payment plan norms
Medians are computed stage by stage, so bars may not sum to exactly 100. Plans with a stated total outside 90 to 110% are excluded.
Empire launch terms
Down payment mix: of Empire’s 5 off-plan projects with a readable payment plan, the number offering a plan with each deposit due on booking. A project can sit in more than one band.
Service charge, as Empire states it at launch: a median of AED 15 per sqft a year across 4 projects. Not the RERA index. Every community compared.
Counted from the same readable plans and the same band tests as the payment plan pages, off-plan projects only. Each part appears once three projects support it.
