Individual arm’s-length sales as registered with the Dubai Land Department. Sizes are as recorded on the title deed; price is the registered consideration, which excludes transfer costs and any agency or developer charges.

Registered DLD transactions for this project. Where the project appears in the DLD transaction feed, the headline comes from that feed. Its registered-sales count covers the project's whole history, with two exclusions. Where the project has also sold units or villas, sales of the land plot and of the whole building are left out. Office, shop, showroom, workshop and store sales are left out too, unless they make up more than half of the sales that remain; the project is then treated as commercial and they are counted. The headline median is the feed's last six months of apartment and villa sales only. Every other figure in this band (range, quarterly and monthly series, bedroom table, recent sales), and the headline itself where the project is not in the feed, comes from a separate extract of arm's-length 'Sales' of apartments only (flats, serviced apartments and stacked townhouses) since the first sale in that extract. The extract leaves out intra-family 'Gifts' transfers, zero-price rows, land, whole-building and villa sales, hotel rooms, and offices, shops, showrooms and other non-residential units; offices and shops price far above the apartments above them and would otherwise set the top of the price-per-square-foot range. Where the register holds the same sale twice, the duplicate is removed before anything is counted. A project is published at any count, down to a single sale; below 30 qualifying sales it is marked as a small sample, and no percentage or purchase-price seed is derived from it. Period and bedroom figures are medians of AED per square foot, which are robust to the outliers that skew a mean on a thin sample. A bedroom row or quarter resting on a handful of registered sales is shown with its sale count and marked as a small sample, because a median over one or two sales describes those sales and not the market. Benchmarks are medians of apartment sales over the trailing 12 months for the same area and registration type. This is a dated extract, not a live query: it changes only when the extract is regenerated with `npm run data:dld`. Dates are the Dubai Land Department's own registration dates. Where a sale reaches us twice — once in DLD's bulk export and once in its daily feed — we keep the bulk record, and DLD registers on working days, so a sale agreed at a weekend carries the following working day.

The building and units

Tower B at Celestia has three unit types: studios, one-bedroom apartments and two-bedroom apartments. Tower B's apartments are supplied furnished and equipped, with several colour options.

Amenities

Shared facilities at Tower B include a temperature-controlled pool with a separate pool for children, a Jacuzzi, steam and sauna rooms, a spa and a gymnasium. Outdoors there are landscaped gardens and play areas for children.

Location

Dubai South covers approximately 145 square kilometres around Al Maktoum International Airport, already in operation. Its master plan sets out eight districts: the airport itself, plus aviation, logistics, humanitarian, residential, commercial, golf and exhibition districts. Both freehold and leasehold tenure exist in Dubai South, across residential, office, retail and commercial property.

Measured from Tower B, South District Park is 1.1 km away, DSRC Central Park is at 1.3 km and Pulse Pond Park at 1.9 km. Expo City Dubai is 5.4 km away and Dubai Investments Park is 4.7 km away. Schools in Dubai Investments Park include a Choueifat school at 5.3 km and Greenfield International School at 6.0 km.

Road access to Dubai South is via the E311, the E11 (Sheikh Zayed Road) and the E611 (Emirates Road). A logistics corridor runs between Dubai South and Jebel Ali Port. A 15-kilometre branch of the Dubai Metro Red Line, finished in May 2020, runs between the Expo site and the station at Nakheel Harbour and Tower.

Registered evidence · as at 28 Oct 2026

Every figure below is derived from arm’s-length sales registered with the Dubai Land Department — completed transactions, not asking prices. The register was read on 9 Nov 2026. The most recent qualifying sale at Celestia is dated 28 Oct 2026. Medians are of AED per square foot across all unit types unless stated otherwise.

Premium and discount compare Celestia’s median AED/sqft with each benchmark median from the same extract; n is the number of registered sales behind each median. A premium is neither good nor bad in itself — it reflects specification, unit mix, floor level and how recently the sales were registered. Bar length is proportional to the median shown.

A change between two period medians, not a compounded annual rate and not a forecast. Period medians move with the mix of units sold as well as with price, so read this alongside the sample sizes in each period.

Method & questions

Method

Figures as at 28 Oct 2026

Two different things sit on this page: transaction evidence taken from the Dubai Land Department’s public register, and the mechanics of buying in Dubai. The four notes below explain how the figures were built and what they can fairly be used for.

  1. Registered salesEvery Dubai Land Department figure on this page comes from a sale that completed and was entered on the public register, so it tells you what buyers have paid. A developer’s price list tells you what the developer is asking today, which is a different measure, so asking prices, portal listings and price lists are not counted in these figures.
  2. MediansProject samples are often thin, and a single penthouse or one bulk-discounted floor will pull an average a long way off. The median — the middle transaction — describes the typical unit far more reliably at these sample sizes. The count behind each figure is always shown so you can judge how much weight it deserves.
  3. Sales only“Sales” means arm’s-length sales. Intra-family and other “Gift” transfers are excluded, as are rows registered at zero or nominal consideration, because neither is evidence of a market price.
  4. A dated snapshotThese are a snapshot, stated as at 28 Oct 2026, taken from one extract of the register rather than queried live. A figure for this project quoted elsewhere, or taken from a different extract, may not match what you see here.
