What each third of the tower asks
A high floor in a 14-storey building is a range, not a word.
| Band | Floors | Advertised | Asking AED/sqft |
|---|---|---|---|
| high | 10–14 | 60 | 2,143 |
| mid | 6–9 | 50 | — |
| low | 1–5 | 27 | 1,968 |
What the register recorded, month by month
Median registered price per square foot, by the month the sale was registered. A month with no sale is absent rather than zero — a building sells a handful of flats a year, and a line drawn to the axis on a quiet month reads as a collapse.
