Most popular buildings in Dubai, ranked by registered sales

How these figures are calculated

Building activity chips use the same raw top-25 monthly and three-month rankings published in these tables, including buildings whose parent areas carry a sales-mix flag. They do not use the separate top-100 pool searched for the mix-aware headline. A building outside a published table receives no activity chip for that window.

The headline searches the supplied top-100 ranking pool for each window and requires a known parent-area off-plan share change below 15 percentage points. That parent-area comparison covers 6 Oct 2025 to 5 Oct 2026 against 6 Oct 2024 to 5 Oct 2025. It is separate from the building's own monthly or three-month off-plan share. Both raw top-25 tables remain unchanged.

Each table ranks named buildings by the number of residential sales registered with the Dubai Land Department during the exact dates shown. The month is the last complete calendar month before the sales data date. The three-month table covers that month and the two months before it, rather than a calendar quarter or the current partial month.

Counts use the full filtered sales records, not the short recent-sales lists on building pages. The residential population includes units and villas with clean quality flags and a recorded price per sq ft. Records below one quarter or above four times their registry area’s median price per sq ft in the same year are excluded. Records without a building or project name cannot appear in these rankings.

Registrations are grouped by registry area and building name, combining differences in case or spacing and using the project name when a building name is absent. Each row shows the median sold price per sq ft for those dates. Off-plan share is the percentage of its registrations marked as pre-registration. These are registrations, so repeated sales of a home can count separately.

Up to 25 buildings appear in each table. All rows need at least one sale, a positive median and a valid off-plan share. Ties use registry area, building name and page identifier. A large count describes trading activity; it does not measure quality, future returns or the number of unique homes. A different mix of homes or off-plan registrations can change the median.
