How to read these figures. Sales are for the corresponding Dubai Land Department community, which is used here as a proxy for the named master plan. The boundaries may not match exactly. Flat prices mix buildings, ages and off-plan with completed homes. A price difference is not evidence that the master plan or its anchor caused it.

The The Valley master plan

Emaar launched The Valley on Al Ain Road in 2021 as a Dh25bn community. Mohamed Alabbar called it the city's first self-contained town.

Its plan has its own town centre, an urban beach and a sports village, so residents need not drive into the city for daily life.

It is one of the first of Dubai's newer, larger plans built away from the centre.

Anchor: A town centre and an urban beach. Opened: Built in phases with the homes.

What to check before you buy

Distance is the trade-off: check the drive time to work at rush hour, not the brochure time.

  • Who built the tower: the master developer, or another developer on a plot?
  • Is the anchor open, and if not, who delivers it and by when?
  • What did the same layout in the same building sell for in the last six months?
