What each third of the tower asks
A high floor in a 43-storey building is a range, not a word.
| Band | Floors | Advertised | Asking AED/sqft |
|---|---|---|---|
| high | 29–43 | 24 | 2,480 |
| mid | 15–28 | 19 | 2,125 |
| low | 1–14 | 21 | 2,096 |
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.
