Source: Dubai Land Department project register, as recorded at 15 Jun 2026. “Registered completion date” is the completion date on file at DLD; it is a date on record, not a guarantee of handover, and where that date has already passed it means only that the register has not been updated, not that the project handed over. DLD does not publish a cancelled status for projects. Homes counted as registered apartments plus registered villas. Figures on this panel are the registry’s, and are stated as at a different date from the transaction figures elsewhere on the page. Registered completion: Oct 2029.
WHAT HAS ACTUALLY BEEN PAID HERE
140 sales were registered against Akala Hotels and Residences between 1 Jul 2025 and 8 Jul 2026 — a span of 12 months. Those are completed registrations at the Dubai Land Department, not asking prices or listings.
The two figures behind that percentage are not drawn on the same population. This project’s median covers every registration type across the whole register we hold (28 Apr 2025 to 6 Aug 2026). The area figure covers off-plan only in Zaabeel Second over the 12 months to 6 Aug 2026, pooled on the transaction register’s own area name, which does not always match the project register’s name shown above. Unit mix, floor level, view and use class are not controlled for on either side. Read it as an indication of where this project sits in its area, not as a like-for-like comparison.
Q3 2025 median 4,399 AED/sqft over 38 sales; Q2 2026 median 3,816 AED/sqft over 25 sales — a change of -13.3% between those two quarters. Unit mix, floor level and view are not controlled for, so this is not a like-for-like comparison of the same unit.
Only quarters that reached 20 registered sales are plotted, and points are spaced evenly rather than by date. A quarter that fell below the floor is absent from the line rather than drawn as a gap, so the line is not a continuous record of every quarter in the window. Where it stops short of 6 Aug 2026, no later quarter cleared the floor.
| Type | Sales | Median size | Median AED/sqft |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bedroom | 53 | 1,044 sqft | 3,716 |
| 2 bedrooms | 69 | 1,725 sqft | 4,395 |
| 3 bedrooms | 12 | 2,606 sqft | 4,693 |
| 4 bedrooms | 5 | 4,698 sqft | 4,676 |
| 6 bedrooms | 1 | — | — |
A median is shown only where the band reached 5 registered sales and the project itself cleared the 10-sale floor; otherwise the count stands on its own and the median is left blank. Where a project is below that floor, a band median would be the project median under a different heading.
| Registration type | Sales | Median AED/sqft |
|---|---|---|
| Off-plan (first sale from developer) | 140 | 4,219 |
| Existing (resale) | 0 | — |
DLD splits registrations into off-plan and existing. The two are not directly comparable: an off-plan registration is a launch-price contract, an existing registration is a completed unit changing hands. Where both appear, the gap between them reflects that difference as much as any movement in value. A median is shown on each side only where the band reached 5 registered sales and the project itself cleared the 10-sale floor — below that floor the counts stand alone, because where every sale falls on one side its median is the project median restated.

Basis: Dubai Land Department transaction register, arm’s-length sales of units and villas only. Gifts, mortgage registrations, zero-price rows, land plots and whole-building transfers are excluded, as are AED/sqft values outside 100–20,000. Figures are medians, not averages. The register we hold runs from 28 Apr 2025 to 6 Aug 2026; 28 Apr 2025 is the earliest date in our copy of the register, not the date this project started selling, so the counts above are of sales registered in that window rather than since launch. This page is a dated extract taken on 7 Aug 2026, not a live query. Past registered prices are evidence of what has been paid, not a forecast of future value.
