Our stock as of 28 August 2026. The median is the price of the middle lot; price per square foot is calculated only for lots with a verified area. The gap between the top and bottom of the table is 4.6x per square foot.
Al Jaddaf in our database: 12 lots, median AED 1.9 million at a price per square foot of AED 2,172.
East and West, buildings within the same complex, differ by 18% in price per square foot — AED 2,309 against AED 1,964. With the same developer, the same plot and the same year, that gap comes down to the mix of lots and each building's position relative to the creek.
Ellington is a recognisable name in this district for its architecture and finishes; the same developer also builds in Business Bay, Sobha Hartland, Dubai Hills and on the islands. Even so, the spread in price per square foot across the developer's portfolio is wide, and the name alone doesn't set the price tier.
Compare building against building, not project against district.
