What each third of the tower asks
A high floor in a 29-storey building is a range, not a word.
| Band | Floors | Advertised | Asking AED/sqft |
|---|---|---|---|
| high | 20–29 | 23 | 3,454 |
| mid | 11–19 | 12 | 3,649 |
| low | 1–10 | 20 | 3,141 |
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.

The last registered sales
Each with its own date, because the register lags. These are prices buyers paid, not asking prices — and they carry no unit number: which flat sold is not ours to publish.
