Our own stock as of 28 August 2026: 250 lots across Palm Jumeirah, median AED 8.2 million, average AED 4,781/ft². Only projects with three or more lots and a reliable floor area are included — 48 lots whose stated area contradicted their bedroom count were excluded from the calculation.
A low-rise building on a frond
The Palm in our database runs to 250 lots, median AED 8.2 million at an average AED 4,781/ft².
The island's main split isn't by building class but by geography: the trunk — towers and the monorail — versus the fronds — low-rise buildings and villas with direct water access.
Eight storeys on a frond puts this building in the second group. What to check is whether it has its own stretch of beach and how access is arranged — on the Palm that's the main price driver.
The gap between trunk and frond in price per square foot runs as high as 3.4 times: Signature Villas at 7,610 against Marina Residences at 2,209.
