Construction progress: not found
We found no public progress record for this tower. Ask the developer for the latest inspection report from the Land Department.

We checked the pages we hold for this tower and found no payment plan that passed our checks. We do not guess one. Ask the developer for the current plan.
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 20 Oct 2026. Asking and rent = live listings on 7 Oct 2026. Counts are in brackets. A sold median needs 10 sales, an advert median 3 adverts.
| Type | Off-plan: sold | Off-plan: per sq ft | Median asking |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-bed | AED 2,109,896 (16) | 2,628 | – (0) |
| 2-bed | – (under 10) | – | – (1) |
Sold prices: Land Department sale records to 20 Oct 2026, BUY DUBAI facts cube. Asking and rent are adverts, not contracts.
Sales we leave out of every median, count and chart (0 of 20 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 off-plan sales to state a yearly change
Median AED 2,618 per sq ft in the 12 months to 20 Oct 2026 (20 off-plan sales). A yearly change needs at least 30 sales in each of the two 12-month periods.
Too few quarters with sales to draw a chart.
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; Land Department records, quarters with 10 or more sales. Off-plan sales are 100% of sales in the last 12 months, so the bars can mix launch and resale prices.
Every sale since 2025: 20 sales of 20 units
Newest first. Each sale is marked Resale or Off-plan. The last column shows the change from the same unit's sale before.

Which side faces what
The direction of each landmark from 997 Residences, 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.

| North | Vestoria Bay, a tower 125 m away |
| East | Natuzzi Harmony Residences by Peace Homes, a tower 71 m away · Wellington Ocean, a tower 79 m away |

No resident reviews: the tower is not built
Nobody lives in 997 Residences yet, so there is nothing a resident can tell you. Reviews you see elsewhere under this name are about the sales office, the developer or another building. What we can show is below: what the developer and the documents say about the project. We add resident reviews after handover.

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, 12 Nov 2025 to 19 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.
- Residents and building facts: Google Maps reviews and guide pages (augusta-properties.com, binayah.com, houseoforange.ae, metropolitan.realestate, propsearch.ae), read by an AI model on 21 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 Google Maps place, resident reviews, a floor plan document, unit positions on a floor, the side and view of each unit, a licensed photo.
