“Pier 8 is off-plan, due in 2026, so no owner has sold a completed home here yet. I see no sale here in the last 90 days. I would wait, or buy a completed home next door where the record is clear.”

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 24 Oct 2026. Asking and rent = live listings on 7 Oct 2026. Counts are in brackets. A median needs 5 sales or 3 listings.
| Type | Off-plan: sold | Off-plan: per sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| 1-bed | AED 741,424 (5) | 800 |
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 (0 of 39 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.
Off-plan price per sq ft fell 17% in a year
Median AED 800 per sq ft in the last 12 months (5 off-plan sales, all sizes) against AED 965 in the 12 months before (16 off-plan sales, all sizes).
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. Off-plan sales are 97% of all sales in this tower, so the early quarters show launch prices.
Every sale since 2024: 39 sales of 38 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.

Which side faces what
The direction of each landmark from Pier 8, 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.

No resident reviews: the tower is not built
Nobody lives in Pier 8 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.
