Construction: topped out

Status on the SkyscraperCity forum: topped out, 20 floors. Last post in the thread: 2 Oct 2026. The newest photo (post 29) shows the tower from street level with the cranes gone, the frame complete to its full height, a dark facade layer on the lower and right-hand sides, and scaffolding and netting still around the lower floors.

Payment plan: 70/30

How the developer asks you to pay for a home bought off-plan. The amounts use AED 3,491,828, the median off-plan price in the last year. Handover stated: Q1 2026 · Booking fee: 20%

Read on 9 Oct 2026 from broker and developer pages. A script checked that each plan adds to 100% and that the words are in the source. Plans change: the sale contract is the only binding version. On top of the price you pay the 4% Land Department fee and the registration fees. Source 6 lists a 20/50/30 plan, consistent with the 70/30 structure, and describes the project as sold out; the stated Q1 2026 handover may be near or past, so confirm current availability and timing with the developer.

Resale and off-plan prices by bedroom

Resale = a completed home sold on. Off-plan = a home sold before the tower is complete, in most cases by the developer. The two are different markets, so we never mix them in one price. Sold = median price of sales in the 12 months to 14 Oct 2026. Asking and rent = live listings on 7 Oct 2026. Counts are in brackets. A median needs 5 sales or 3 listings.

Rents are asking rents, not registered contracts. Yield = asking rent divided by the median resale price, before service charge.

Sales we leave out of every median, count and chart (5 of 120 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 (5); 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.

Off-plan price per sq ft rose 3% in a year

Median AED 2,523 per sq ft in the last 12 months (9 off-plan sales) against AED 2,459 in the 12 months before (20 off-plan sales).

Every sale since 2024: 120 sales of 110 units

Newest first. Each sale is marked Resale or Off-plan. The last column shows the change from the same unit's sale before. 1 land or whole-building sale in the records for this address is not shown: it is not a home.

Sellers ask 6% more than buyers paid

50 homes are for sale in The Quayside. The median advert asks 6% more per sq ft than the median off-plan sale of the same type in the last 12 months. 3 of 25 adverts ask the sold level or less. The median advert has been listed for 38 days; the oldest for 391 days.

Adverts: one reading on 7 Oct 2026. Sold prices: off-plan sales in this tower in the last 12 months, 5 or more of the type. An advert has no unit number, so we compare the price per sq ft with the type, not with the same unit. An asking price is not a sale price. Days listed is from the date on the advert: an agent can place a home again as a new advert, so the real time for sale can be longer. 7 adverts have the same type, size and price as another advert: they are probably the same home with a second agent. We cannot show price cuts over time or the time to sell yet: these need more than one reading.

Mortgage: what The Quayside costs a month

The tower is off-plan. A bank can lend at most 50% of the price of an off-plan home, and most buyers use the loan for the payment at handover. The rate starts at 3.99%, the most common 3-year fixed rate in two bank comparison lists dated 5 October 2026. Fixed rates in those lists run from 3.75% to 4.69%. Three-month EIBOR, the base for variable rates, was 4.19% on 9 Oct 2026.

The official record: 115 registered sales since 2024

Dubai Land Department register for "The Quayside", 1 Feb 2024 to 12 Feb 2026: 115 apartment sales, plus 2 gifts. This source has every year and every unit type, but no unit numbers.

Median AED per sq ft is shown for 3 or more sales in a year. 115 of these sales were off-plan and 0 were of completed units. What our unit list above does not have: sales before 2020; mortgages and gifts. For homes from 2020 to 12 Feb 2026 the register has 115 sales and our unit list has 115.

Which side faces what

The direction of each landmark from The Quayside, and the towers within 150 m that can stand in the way. What a home really sees depends on its floor and its side of the building. We do not have the unit positions for this tower yet, so we cannot tell you the view of one unit.

Floor plan and unit positions

8 positions on a typical floor. Compact rectangular tower plate with a central core (lifts, stairs). Apartments wrap the core: 1 BR units and the studio on the west, 1 BR and 3 BR units along the south, 2 BR units on the north, and a 2 BR on the east. The plan was read by an AI model and then checked by a script: bedrooms by position on the plan agree with bedrooms in our sales for 7 of 8 positions.

No resident reviews: the tower is not built
