The The Crescent towers
3 towers in The Crescent, at the bedroom type above.
Ejari files The Crescent’s leases under the project, not a tower, so every tower share one rent: the project figure above, counted once. Prices are each tower’s own registered sales.

- How much does a studio in The Crescent A cost?
- The median registered sale price is AED 434,990 (867 AED/sqft), from 28 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 12 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.
- What are apartments in The Crescent A selling for right now?
- Registered sales of ready units in The Crescent A over the last 12 months have a median of 867 AED/sqft, across 28 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 The Crescent A risen or fallen?
- Median price per square foot moved +11.0% over the last 12 months against the 12 before it, on 28 sales with a price per square foot. On a sample this size, read the direction rather than the exact figure.
- How does The Crescent A compare with Dubai Production City?
- Its 9.2% gross yield sits +0.1 pts against the Dubai Production City median of 9.1%, computed the same way at the same bedroom grain.
