What each third of the tower asks
A high floor in a 27-storey building is a range, not a word.
| Band | Floors | Advertised | Asking AED/sqft |
|---|---|---|---|
| high | 19–27 | 8 | 3,060 |
| mid | 10–18 | 11 | 3,028 |
| low | 1–9 | 31 | 2,691 |
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.
