9 resales in 12 months at AED 1,234 per sq ft (+19% in a year); a higher price than 35% of Dubai South (Dubai World Central) towers; owners who sold gained 7.5% a year and 29% sold at a loss.

The agent's view
“Owners who sold in MAG 520 made 7.5% a year, and 29% of them sold at a loss. 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 19 Oct 2026. Asking and rent = live listings on 7 Oct 2026. Counts are in brackets. A median needs 5 sales or 3 listings.

TypeResale: soldResale: per sq ftRent a year
Studiounder 5 (3)–– (1)
1-bedAED 590,000 (5)1,168– (0)
2-bedunder 5 (1)–– (0)

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 (1 of 70 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 (1); 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 rose 19% in a year

Median AED 1,234 per sq ft in the last 12 months (9 resale sales) against AED 1,036 in the 12 months before (7 resale sales).

Which side faces what

The direction of each landmark from MAG 520, 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.

Sources for figures not in the developer fact file:

  • Completed: Completion year from zawya.com, read 14 Oct 2026: https://www.zawya.com/en/press-release/mag-lifestyle-development-completes-mag-5-boulevard

Amenities: swimming pool, gym, kids play area, fire protection system, intercom, elevators, 24-hour security, CCTV at the entrance, covered parking, curated outdoor park

Where sources disagree

  • Completion year: only Propertystellar gives 2021, and it also differs on floors and unit mix (1 to 3 bedrooms, 600 to 1,800 sq ft vs studios and 1-beds on another source), so this year is not relied on.

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, 26 Feb 2020 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 (Building guide from live adverts (facts and resident opinions; rewrite in your own words; cite as "live adverts")., drivenproperties.com, live adverts: community guide, propertystellar.com), 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 floor plan document, unit positions on a floor, the side and view of each unit, a licensed photo.
