An apartment in South Residence 1 sold for about AED 776 per sq ft in 2024

Median of 35 apartment sales in 2024, median price AED 1,099,152. Source: Dubai Land Department register, to 12 Feb 2026. 1 market sale in the 12 months to 24 Oct 2026; 43 sales on record since 2023. That is too few for a home price.

The market says
43 registered sales since 2023 at AED 776 per sq ft (2024).
James Paul Booth
The agent's view
“There are too few recent sales in South Residence 1 for me to quote a return. I would price it from the last sale of the same layout, and I would not pay more for a promise.”

From the developer: the developer

What the developer publishes about South Residence 1. Pictures are the developer's artist's impressions, not photos of the building. Each fact shows where it comes from; a fact read from the developer's text is checked word for word.

Checked, not found: artist's impressions, floor plans, a video, a brochure or other PDF, facts we could check. We searched the developer site and the web on 12 Oct 2026. Ask the developer for the latest brochure and floor plans.

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.

TypeResale: soldResale: per sq ft
2-bedunder 5 (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 (6 of 43 here): bulk transfers, meaning 5 or more completed homes sold within two days at prices per sq ft within 25% of each other (6); 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 resale sales to state a yearly change

1 resale sales in the last 12 months and 4 in the 12 months before. Each period needs at least 5.

Which side faces what

The direction of each landmark from South Residence 1, 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.

What residents say: 4.3 from 26 Google ratings

We read the 11 newest Google reviews that have text (of 26 fetched; the tower has 26 ratings), dated 2022-03 to 2026-09. A review is one resident's statement. We show counts, not quotes.

No problem is named by 2 or more reviews.

On the plus side

The building: 15 of 53 questions answered

Each answer names its source. Questions with no answer are listed as "checked, not found" so you know we looked.

Unit mix
Sales data only shows a 2-bed sale in the last 12 months; reviews mention 1-bed units.

Amenities: gym (Matrix equipment, per 1 review), outdoor pool, heated in winter (1 review), toddler pool (1 review), jacuzzi (1 review), security staff (3 reviews)

Where sources disagree

  • Rating review mix: one 4-star review (2023-07, 'You have 1bedroom for rent') is a rental ad, not a resident review, so it should not be read as a tenant rating.

Watch-outs

Overall rating
Google rating is 4.3 from 26 ratings. Of the 11 reviews with text, 9 give 5 stars, 1 gives 4, 1 gives 3 and 1 gives 1 (12 star values listed because one 4-star review is not about living there; see below).

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, 20 Dec 2023 to 24 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")., Resident and public material found on the open web (one passage per block; source and date under each)., live adverts: community guide, mcconeproperties.com, propsearch.ae), read by an AI model on 27 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, the developer, a licensed photo.
