Shops, measured separately

Retail units have their own price, rent, stock and demand record; they never inherit the office market.

What the evidence does not say

The boundary is part of the record.

No live availability

Registered stock is a DLD census, not a claim that a unit is for sale or lease.

No official occupancy

Leasing activity is observed through Ejari contracts. It is not building occupancy.

No warehouse yield

Warehouse leasing evidence is strong, but the directly comparable sale denominator is not.

Take the evidence into a real decision

The index stops where registered evidence stops. A qualified professional can handle the transaction-specific work.
