    "content_md": "**Over the last 12 months (to 9 November 2026), the Dubai Land Department registry recorded 2,125 residential sales above AED 10 million** — AED 47.2 billion in total. The median such deal is AED 15.2M; the largest is AED 550M. 63% of luxury purchases are off-plan, bought during construction. Below are the districts, projects and brands — straight from the transaction registry, no estimates, no advertising.\n\n## Where the AED 10M+ deals happen\n\nTop 15 districts by the number of registered sales ≥ AED 10M in 12 months. District names as in the DLD registry, with market names in brackets.\n\n| District (DLD registry) | Deals ≥10M | Median, AED |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Palm Jumeirah | 301 | 16,825,000 |\n| Marsa Dubai (Dubai Marina) | 257 | 13,634,597 |\n| Jumeirah First | 146 | 27,543,000 |\n| Business Bay | 142 | 16,674,999 |\n| Burj Khalifa (Downtown) | 139 | 18,000,000 |\n| Al Wasl (City Walk) | 136 | 14,350,000 |\n| Wadi Al Safa 3 (Dubailand) | 131 | 15,105,000 |\n| Saih Shuaib 1 | 100 | 12,850,000 |\n| Jumeirah Second | 89 | 31,940,491 |\n| Wadi Al Safa 6 | 82 | 12,250,000 |\n| Al Thanyah Fifth | 51 | 17,000,000 |\n| Me'Aisem First | 51 | 16,000,000 |\n| Palm Deira (Dubai Islands) | 45 | 13,465,000 |\n| Hadaeq Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid (Dubai Hills) | 43 | 13,400,000 |\n| Palm Jabal Ali (Palm Jebel Ali) | 35 | 14,176,000 |\n\nNote the medians: Palm Jumeirah and Marsa Dubai (Dubai Marina) lead on volume, while the highest district medians in the top 15 are Jumeirah Second (median AED 31.9M) and Jumeirah First (27.5M).\n\n## What sells: projects and buildings\n\nTop 15 projects by number of ≥ AED 10M deals in 12 months:\n\n| Project | Deals | Median, AED |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Lunaya | 100 | 12,850,000 |\n| Passo By Beyond | 87 | 13,367,000 |\n| Solaya (1,2,3) | 62 | 30,899,500 |\n| The Residences at the Dubai Beach Edition | 58 | 13,508,118 |\n| Bluewaters Residences | 42 | 12,600,000 |\n| Solaya (4,6) | 40 | 27,592,000 |\n| Bugatti Residences by Binghatti | 34 | 27,100,000 |\n| Eden House The Park | 34 | 11,196,248 |\n| Jumeirah Residences Emirates Towers | 32 | 10,786,000 |\n| Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co.

Then 2 B/R — 256 deals, 5 B/R — 169 (average 33.9M), 6 B/R — 57 (average 66.9M). Another 409 sales have no bedroom count in the registry (almost all of them villas). Only 7 deals carry the formal “PENTHOUSE” tag — a registry labelling quirk: most penthouses are registered under regular bedroom counts.\n\n**Off-plan vs ready: 1,335 vs 790.** 63% of AED 10M+ deals are bought during construction; the average price is AED 23.6M off-plan against 19.8M for ready stock.\n\n## Branded residences: real transaction prices\n\nBrands whose registry names match unambiguously (12 months to 21 September 2026, residential units only; this table is refreshed by hand):\n\n| Brand | Deals | Median, AED | Max, AED |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Armani (Beach Residences) | 3 | 89,900,962 | 92,500,000 |\n| Como Residences | 9 | 56,500,000 | 71,241,800 |\n| Karl Lagerfeld (Villas) | 10 | 36,483,500 | 43,966,000 |\n| Bentley Residences | 8 | 34,958,500 | 49,100,000 |\n| Dorchester Collection | 4 | 29,250,000 | 40,850,000 |\n| Bugatti Residences | 35 | 28,400,000 | 550,000,000 |\n| Baccarat Residences | 31 | 27,793,977 | 121,841,000 |\n| Six Senses Residences | 35 | 17,640,000 | 56,000,000 |\n| Mercedes-Benz Places | 35 | 15,000,000 | 50,000,000 |\n| Eywa | 3 | 12,000,000 | 17,403,846 |\n| Jacob & Co (Burj Binghatti) | 46 | 10,900,000 | 36,000,000 |\n| W Residences | 150 | 7,675,000 | 62,330,400 |\n| Elie Saab | 66 | 4,950,000 | 13,050,000 |\n| Kempinski Residences | 48 | 4,305,975 | 22,966,835 |\n| Palazzo Versace | 14 | 3,940,000 | 12,800,000 |\n| Trump (Estates & Tower) | 76 | 3,823,442 | 11,608,345 |\n| St. Regis Residences | 131 | 3,777,888 | 28,500,000 |\n| Cavalli (Tower & Estates) | 36 | 3,650,000 | 24,904,000 |\n| Missoni (Urban Oasis) | 69 | 2,550,021 | 9,200,000 |\n\nAddress, Vida, Ciel, SLS, Ritz, Franck Muller and Jumeirah Living are deliberately excluded: their names collide with common words and unrelated projects, so automated registry matching gets noisy. The takeaway stands regardless: top-brand medians (AED 28–90M) run far above the overall luxury median (15.2M) — the branded premium in Dubai is real and visible right in the registry. Background on how these collaborations work: [branded residences in Dubai](/new-developments-in-dubai-branded-residences-in-collaboration-with-global-luxury-names/).\n\n## The AED 3–10M segment: expensive, not luxury\n\nOne step down, the market is an order of magnitude bigger (full breakdown in our [AED 3–10M segment analysis](/dubai-property-aed-3-to-10-million-dld-registry/)): **22,776 deals in 12 months, median AED 4,075,000**. Off-plan vs ready: 15,587 vs 7,189; 2 B/R (8,497 deals) and 3 B/R (6,849) are the main formats. Top 5 districts for AED 3–10M deals: Palm Deira / Dubai Islands (1,922 deals, median 4.02M), Al Khairan First / Dubai Creek Harbour (1,619, 3.55M), Al Yelayiss 1 / The Valley (1,579, 4.10M), Dubai Investment Park Second (1,244, 3.72M), Marsa Dubai / Dubai Marina (1,220, 4.50M).\n\n## Villas and townhouses in the registry\n\nVillas are a separate type in the registry: **14,799 sales in 12 months, median AED 3,575,000**, 64.8% off-plan. Price distribution:\n\n| Price bucket | Deals | Median, AED |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Under 2M | 1,437 | 1,338,000 |\n| 2–5M | 10,256 | 3,363,888 |\n| 5–10M | 2,416 | 6,150,000 |\n| 10M and above | 690 | 14,573,390 |\n\nThe busiest villa districts: Al Yelayiss 1 / The Valley (3,911 deals, median 2.90M), Dubai Investment Park Second (1,385, 3.67M), Madinat Al Mataar / Dubai South (1,118, 4.48M). An honest caveat: **the DLD registry has no separate “townhouse” category** — nearly all townhouses are recorded as villas, so a clean “townhouse market” cannot be isolated from registry data. More on choosing one in our [villas in Dubai](/villas-in-dubai/) guide.\n\n## Methodology\n\nRegistered sales only, residential use per the registry (`property_usage = Residential`) — apartments and villas; land, offices, shops, hotel units and whole-building deals excluded, as are records with a price per m² outside AED 3,000–200,000. Window: 10 November 2025 – 9 November 2026. The same definition drives our live [most expensive sales report](/top-luxury-property-sales-dubai/); the rule is set out in our [methodology](/methodology/#luxury). Medians throughout, except bedroom tables marked “average”. Source: the open Dubai Land Department (DLD) transaction registry; it contains no personal data. Registry data as of 9 November 2026. The figures on this page are recalculated automatically together with that report (last run: 10 November 2026); the brand table is refreshed by hand.\n\n## Frequently asked questions\n\n### Above AED 10M, do people buy apartments or villas?\n\nBoth: of 2,125 deals ≥ AED 10M, 1,435 are apartments in premium towers and 690 are villas. The core format is 3–4 bedrooms.\n\n### Is luxury bought off-plan or ready?\n\n63% of AED 10M+ deals are off-plan. Average price: AED 19.8M for ready luxury (790 deals) against 23.6M for under-construction stock.\n\n### How much does a Dubai penthouse cost?\n\nThe formal “PENTHOUSE” tag is rare in the registry (30 deals in a year, median AED 6.3M) — most real penthouses are registered as ordinary 3–5 bedroom units, so the tag undercounts them. For scale: the year’s largest residential deal was AED 550M (Bugatti Residences by Binghatti).\n\n### How much more do branded residences cost?\n\nTop-brand deal medians (Bugatti 28.4M, Baccarat 27.8M, Como 56.5M; 12 months to 21 September 2026) compare with an overall luxury median of 15.2M. At “accessible” brands (Missoni 2.55M, St. Regis 3.78M) the brand premium is far more modest.\n\nSee also: [real rental yields from the registry](/real-rental-yields-in-dubai-dld-registry-data/) and the [new projects catalogue](/project/).\n\n*Data: Dubai Land Department (DLD) transaction registry.
