Registered transactions in Forte

Dubai Land Department records for this building: closed transaction prices, not asking prices or estimates. Figures are medians, so a single expensive sale does not move them.

The yearly figure compares the last 12 months with the 12 before them: calendar years would not work, the current one is unfinished. The district moved +1% over the same period, so the building matched it.

About the project

Forte is a finished dual-tower residential development in Downtown Dubai’s Opera District, developed by Emaar Properties. The project contains 927 units and is ready to move in, with a recorded completion date of 29 November 2022. Homes range from one- to four-bedroom apartments, and one-bedroom residences start from 600 sq. ft.

The project and its design

Forte is a two-tower residential complex in the Opera District of Downtown Dubai. The design is by Nikken Sekkei. The development includes five basement levels and five podium levels beneath its two residential towers. Its setting places Dubai Opera, Opera Plaza and The Dubai Fountain among the nearby landmarks. The project was completed on 29 November 2022 and has a 100% completion ratio. Forte has 927 units in total. The two-tower composition and podium structure form the basis of the development, while the residential offering is arranged across one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartment types.

Apartments at Forte

Forte offers one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments. One-bedroom apartments start from 600 sq. ft. The collection therefore includes layouts for single-bedroom homes as well as larger three- and four-bedroom residences. The project’s 927-unit total covers the full residential inventory across the development. Buyers looking at the project can consider a completed home in Downtown Dubai rather than a future construction-stage purchase. Forte is listed as ready to move in, and its completion date is recorded as 29 November 2022.

Amenities and everyday facilities

Residents have access to a swimming pool, a separate kids’ pool, a gym and a playground. The amenity offering also includes a library, retail outlets and cafés. Parking is provided in the basement levels, with five basement parking levels included within the project structure. The combination of pools, a gym, a playground and a library brings recreation, fitness and reading space into the development, while the retail outlets and cafés form part of the on-site facilities. These amenities sit within the dual-tower project’s podium and basement configuration.
