Two buildings from the same developer: the one completed in 2023 goes for AED 1,309/ft², the one still under construction for AED 1,754/ft². The finished building is a third cheaper.
Usually it's the other way around — buyers pay a premium for completion, and in Sobha Hartland we measured that premium at 10–15%. Here the under-construction building is more expensive, which means the price reflects unit size and payment plan rather than completion status.
Equiti Home sells compact units at 891 ft², Arcade at 1,184 ft². A compact unit always costs more per square foot, and the 34% gap fits that pattern rather than the construction stage.
Practical takeaway: you can only compare a completed and an under-construction building on price per square foot when the sizes match. Otherwise unit size overrides the effect of the construction stage.

What has been written about the building, its developer and Al Furjan

Richmond District is the first fully integrated master-planned community in Al Furjan: John Richmond design, a shared podium with a lagoon, pools and fitness, hotel-style services and Discovery Gardens metro station a minute away. What it means for residents and investors.
Written landlord permission for a pet in Dubai is mandatory — a verbal agreement is not enough. Keeping a dog in Downtown or Business Bay is close to impossible, while a villa in Arabian Ranches or Al Furjan solves the walking problem by design.
In December 2023, regulator Trakhees issued Nakheel Dubai's first 3D-printing construction licence, for Al Furjan Hills. Printing itself took 20 days — but the structure was a gatehouse, not a home. Dubai's target is 25% of new buildings by 2030. What is actually on the market in 2026.

A developer with a completed Al Furjan building. Brokers are licensed and the licence is checkable — and the more useful question is who pays them.

A rental forecast is interesting not for its average but for the spread between districts. The reason for the gap is supply, not prestige.
