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. Only arm's-length 'Sales' of homes are counted; intra-family 'Gifts' transfers, zero-price rows, and land, building and villa transfers are excluded. Offices, shops, showrooms and other non-residential units in the same building are also excluded — they 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. The registered-sales count in the headline is every sale registered against the project over its whole history, of any property type, from the DLD transaction feed; the headline median is the last six months of apartment and villa sales only, from the same feed. The remaining figures on this page (range, quarterly and monthly series, bedroom table, recent sales) are apartments and villas since the first sale in the extract. 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 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. Source: Dubai Land Department (DLD) transaction register, via Mitchell's DLD pipeline. Data as at 6 Oct 2026; extract generated 10 Oct 2026. Past registered prices are evidence of what has been paid, not a forecast of future value.

The brief

About this project

Twin towers in the Opera District of Downtown Dubai

Forte is a pair of residential towers by Emaar in the Opera District of Downtown Dubai. Emaar's brochure names the Japanese practice Nikken Sekkei as the architect. The two towers, one of 70 floors and the other of 50, sit together on a shared podium within direct sight of Dubai Opera, Opera Plaza and The Dubai Fountain.

The brochure gives the complex as some 850 residential units, from one-bedroom apartments to four-bedroom family homes. One-bedroom units start at 600 sq ft. It describes interiors in marble, ceramics, steel and wool, with fixtures and fittings chosen to suit whatever furnishings an owner adds.

Retail, dining and cafés are built into the podium. Emaar's brochure also set out plans for a museum of modern art on the podium levels, covering 12,000 sq m. Residents park on five basement levels, and guests use boulevard-level public parking.

The DLD project register records construction from 1 September 2016 and a 100% construction inspection on 12 September 2023.

Pricing against the market

Registered evidence · as at 6 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 10 Oct 2026. The most recent qualifying sale at Forte is dated 6 Oct 2026. Medians are of AED per square foot across all unit types unless stated otherwise.

Premium and discount compare Forte’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.

The developer

Emaar

One of Dubai’s largest and longest-established master developers.

Emaar Properties is the developer behind a substantial share of Dubai’s best-known destinations, including Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall. It builds at master-community scale — Dubai Hills Estate, Dubai Creek Harbour, Emaar South, The Valley, Downtown Dubai, Emaar Beachfront and Rashid Yachts & Marina among the communities covered on this site — so an Emaar project usually sits inside an established masterplan with its own retail, schools and parks.

Emaar reports a delivery record stretching back to 2002 across Dubai and international markets.

Method & questions

Method

Figures as at 6 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 6 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.
