- How much does a 2 bedroom in Collective Tower 1 cost?
- The median registered sale price is AED 1.72M (2,366 AED/sqft), from 12 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 12 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.
- What are apartments in Collective Tower 1 selling for right now?
- Registered sales of ready units in Collective Tower 1 over the last 12 months have a median of 2,366 AED/sqft, across 12 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 Collective Tower 1 risen or fallen?
- Median price per square foot moved +1.2% over the last 12 months against the 12 before it, on 12 sales with a price per square foot. On a sample this size, read the direction rather than the exact figure.
- How does Collective Tower 1 compare with Dubai Hills Estate?
- Its 5.8% gross yield sits -0.1 pts against the Dubai Hills Estate median of 5.9%, computed the same way at the same bedroom grain.
