An apartment in The Cove Building 3 sold for about AED 1,784 per sq ft in 2017
Median of 35 apartment sales in 2017, median price AED 2,342,888. Source: Dubai Land Department register, to 12 Feb 2026. 5 market sales in the 12 months to 22 Oct 2026; 34 sales on record since 2020. That is too few for a home price.
- The market says
- 5 resales of all sizes in 12 months at AED 2,233 per sq ft (-5% in a year); a higher price than 27% of Dubai Creek Harbour (The Lagoons) towers; owners who sold gained 3.9% a year and 11% sold at a loss; 1 home for sale now.
“Owners who sold in The Cove Building 3 made 3.9% a year, and 11% of them sold at a loss. Few homes are for sale against the pace of sales, so a home at the right price sells quickly. That record is weak. I would only buy below the last sold price for the same layout.”

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 22 Oct 2026. Asking and rent = live listings on 7 Oct 2026. Counts are in brackets. A median needs 5 sales or 3 listings.
| Type | Resale: sold | Median asking | Rent a year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-bed | under 5 (1) | – (0) | – (0) |
| 2-bed | under 5 (2) | – (1) | – (0) |
| 3-bed | under 5 (2) | – (0) | – (2) |
| 4-bed | – (0) | – (0) | – (1) |
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 34 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.
Resale price per sq ft fell 5% in a year
