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.
| Type | Resale: sold | Resale: per sq ft | Rent a year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | under 5 (3) | – | – (1) |
| 1-bed | AED 590,000 (5) | 1,168 | – (0) |
| 2-bed | under 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).
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.
Every sale since 2020: 70 sales of 50 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 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.

|---|---|
| North | Burj Al Arab and the sea 21.7 km · Meydan racecourse 23.9 km · Sheikh Zayed Road 26.9 km · Dubai Design District 27.2 km · Burj Khalifa 27.8 km · Jumeirah beach and the sea 28.3 km · Dubai Creek and Ras Al Khor 28.6 km · DIFC 29.5 km |
| South-east | MAG 525, a tower 63 m away |

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.

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.
