Layouts that have sold fewer than five times in three years are left out — too few to quote a median, so we do not guess at one.

The busiest buildings in Downtown Dubai
DT1 sold 2 completed homes in the ninety days to 19 Oct 2026, below the five-sale floor to rank. These are the five busiest buildings in Downtown Dubai.
| Rank | Building | Sales, 90 days | Against its usual pace |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Burj Khalifa | 29 | 1.0× |
| 2 | Burj Crown | 14 | 1.1× |
| 3 | Imperial Avenue | 13 | 1.0× |
| 4 | Forte 1 | 12 | 1.0× |
| 5 | Burj Royale | 11 | 1.6× |
Completed homes only, by the date the Dubai Land Department registered the transfer — the ninety days to 19 Oct 2026. Buildings with fewer than five sales in the window are not ranked. The ten busiest in Downtown Dubai, with pace against each building’s own year before.
Where these numbers come from. Every figure on this page is drawn from the Dubai Land Department’s transaction register, read directly from the Dubai Data Exchange. It is what buyers actually paid, recorded at transfer — not asking prices, not valuations, not our own estimates. Mortgage registrations, gift transfers, rent-to-own contracts and developers’ own filings are all excluded; none of them is a price a buyer paid. Medians are used rather than averages so one unusual sale cannot move the number. Data through 19 Oct 2026.

Medians over each building’s whole recorded history at the Dubai Land Department, so a tower that has not traded lately is still here — this is what to look at next, not what the market is doing this month. Buildings with fewer than five recorded sales are left out. “First traded” is the year the register first saw a sale in the building, which for a new tower is close to its handover.
