- How much does a 1 bedroom in Orion Building cost?
- The median registered sale price is AED 825,000 (1,003 AED/sqft), from 9 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 12 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.
- What are apartments in Orion Building selling for right now?
- Registered sales of ready units in Orion Building over the last 12 months have a median of 1,003 AED/sqft, across 9 sales. That uses the same trailing year as the rent and yield figures, requires at least five sales, and excludes off-plan. Floor, view and condition move a specific unit's price around it.
- Have prices in Orion Building risen or fallen?
- Median price per square foot moved +7.5% over the last 12 months against the 12 before it, on 9 sales with a price per square foot. On a sample this size, read the direction rather than the exact figure.
- How does Orion Building compare with Arjan?
- Its 7.6% gross yield sits +0.1 pts against the Arjan median of 7.5%, computed the same way at the same bedroom grain.
