Off-plan above AED 10M: 5,242 sqft for the money

2,205 priced unit records ask above AED 10M in the tracked UAE off-plan book, 4% of every priced record in the corpus, published across 338 projects. The median asks AED 17,557,063 for 5,242 sqft, which is AED 4,091 per sqft. Half of the band sits between 3,306 and 7,413 sqft, so the same money buys a materially different home depending on where you spend it.

The size that dominates the band is the 3 BR: 623 priced records, 28% of everything on offer here, at a median 3,264 sqft and AED 4,850 per sqft. The widest rung with a benchmark here is the 6+ BR, at AED 2,387 per sqft, which is cheaper ground than the modal unit. 42% of the band is apartments. 78% of it sits in Dubai; the rest is where the northern emirates compete on the same ticket.

Inside one band the type is a floor area trade, not a price trade: the ticket is held roughly still, so a label asking fewer AED per sqft is simply handing over more square feet for the same money.

Largest books whose published starting price lands here

Projects starting inside this band

The starting price is the lowest asking price published for the project, so a scheme appears here on its entry unit even where its penthouses sell several bands higher. Projects marked sold out are excluded, and the order is by how many priced unit records the project publishes. Filter the full index to go wider.
