One and a half times the district

Dubai Islands in our database: 89 lots, median AED 5.4 million, average price per square foot AED 2,300.

A one-and-a-half-times premium over the district, from a little-known developer on an island still under construction, calls for an explanation — and a concrete one: waterfront position, finishes, the low unit count, something specific.

A low unit count does command a premium — we've seen it on Palm Jumeirah and in Al Barari. But there it's backed by an established setting, and here that setting doesn't exist yet.

A single listing in our stock isn't a market. Before accepting a price like this, compare it with Ellington Sands II (2,971) and Bay Grove (2,384–2,739) on the same island, and ask exactly what justifies the difference.

The propsearch building record: 15 storeys, 87 residences, developer Mr. Eight Developments, status "under construction." Our own stock as of 28 August 2026: the project's lot (size, price, price per square foot), figures for Ellington Sands II and Bay Grove, and the Dubai Islands median and average.
