What kind of developer this is
One building, and it is enough
The company has been active in Dubai since 2004 but its portfolio is largely outside the UAE, and it has no significant new launches here. In practice this means the resale market of one specific tower.
That tower, however, is a landmark: 73 floors twisting ninety degrees, designed by a major international practice, and the tallest of its kind when it opened.
What the twist changes
Three practical consequences. The panorama rotates as the building turns, so a sea view on one floor becomes a Marina view higher up. Balconies come in unusual shapes and depths. And layouts on adjacent floors do not match.
The spread in price per square foot inside this one building is therefore wider than usual — and justified. Buy a floor and a plan, not "an apartment in the tower".
What to check before you sign
Condition. The building was handed over more than a decade ago and its services are mid-life; what you get depends heavily on what the previous owner did. Inspect rather than read the listing.
Then the service charge as an annual figure — a complex glazed facade costs more to maintain — and registered sales inside the building over the last six to twelve months rather than a district average.

Lots are matched to Cayan Group by project name, since the base has no developer field. The numbers above therefore describe our stock rather than the company’s market share: a developer with a large completed portfolio can show fewer lots than one whose buildings are resold more often.
All prices are asking prices, not sales. For the building you pick I pull the registered Land Department transactions and show the prices deals really closed at.

Cayan Group: questions and answers
How much does a Cayan Group apartment cost?
The median across this developer's lots in our stock is $871K (AED 3 200 000), with entry from $722K. The median per square foot is $474. The figures come from asking prices in our base, not from the Cayan Group price list, and they are recalculated nightly to reflect what is actually for sale today.
What projects is Cayan Group building?
The site catalogue covers 4 projects by Cayan Group, each with a building passport — storeys, units, handover date and bedroom mix. They are listed above, and the “Where they build” block shows the districts with the most of its lots. Any lots on sale appear directly beneath their project.
Should I buy from Cayan Group direct or through a broker?
For an off-plan buyer the price is identical, because the developer covers the broker’s commission. Going straight to Cayan Group is therefore no cheaper, and the choice there is limited to its own projects — you will not get a comparison with neighbouring buildings or a candid read on handover dates. On resale and assignment the commission is standard: 2% plus VAT.
Is Cayan Group worth buying
That depends on what you buy and why. Describe the budget and the aim — I will point out which of this developer’s buildings are justified today and which are better left alone.
