From the developer: the developer
What the developer publishes about Bay Square Building 12. Pictures are the developer's artist's impressions, not photos of the building. Each fact shows where it comes from; a fact read from the developer's text is checked word for word.
Checked, not found: artist's impressions, floor plans, a video, a brochure or other PDF, facts we could check. We searched the developer site and the web on 10 Oct 2026. Ask the developer for the latest brochure and floor plans.

Resale and off-plan prices by bedroom
Resale = a completed home sold on. Off-plan = a home sold before the tower is complete, by the developer or by an earlier buyer (a Land Department "delayed sell"). The two are different markets, so we never mix them in one price. Sold = median price of sales in the 12 months to 25 Oct 2026. Asking and rent = live listings on 7 Oct 2026. Counts are in brackets. A median needs 5 sales or 3 listings.
| Type | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| No sales and no listings. | ||||||||
Rents in this table are asking rents (adverts). The yield in the headline is the signed Ejari rent divided by the median resale price, before service charge.
Sales we leave out of every median, count and chart (0 of 7 here): bulk transfers, meaning 5 or more completed homes sold within two days at prices per sq ft within 25% of each other (0); a sale at exactly the same price as that unit's sale before (0); a size more than 1.6 times the usual size for the recorded type, or a "studio" above 750 sq ft (0). They stay in the list below with a label.
Too few resale sales to state a yearly change
1 resale sales in the last 12 months and 1 in the 12 months before. Each period needs at least 5.
Bars: median AED per sq ft by quarter. Blue line and blue numbers under the bars: number of sales in the quarter. Last 16 quarters at most. Grey bars have fewer than 3 sales.
Every sale since 2023: 7 sales of 5 units
Newest first. Each sale is marked Resale or Off-plan. The last column shows the change from the same unit's sale before.

Own a unit here?
Ask for a report on your unit: its sales history, the same type's sales in the last 12 months and the homes for sale against it. A licensed partner agent, named on the report with the registration number, sends it. BUY DUBAI is not a broker and takes no part in the sale.
Method, sources and what we did not find
- Sales: unit-level Dubai Land Department sale records, 1 Aug 2023 to 25 Oct 2026, checked by year against Dubai Land Department open data. Our unit list does not hold every sale, so some sales are missing.
- Listings: one snapshot, 7 Oct 2026. Asking prices and asking rents.
- Short lets: Airbnb map search and listing pages for Business Bay, read 9 Oct 2026. A listing counts for a tower when two of these agree: the Dubai holiday-home permit code, the tower name in the listing, the map pin.
- Residents and building facts: Google Maps reviews and guide pages (cushwake.ae, drivenproperties.com, live adverts: community guide, propsearch.ae), read by an AI model on 27 Oct 2026 with a fixed question list. A script checks that each answer names its source.
- Nobody visited the tower. Every fact is from a document, a map or a resident's review.
- Checked, not found for this tower: a floor plan document, unit positions on a floor, the side and view of each unit, the developer.
