How to read this
- These are sales, not asking prices. Every figure comes from a transaction that completed and was registered — not from a listing someone hoped to achieve.
- Mortgages and gifts are excluded. A mortgage’s value is a loan and a gift is often registered at a nominal amount. Counting either as a sale is the quickest way to a confident wrong number.
- The year-by-year line is resale only. Off-plan medians move with whatever happened to launch that year, which looks like a price change and is not one.
- A median is not a valuation. Floor, view, finish and layout move a price far more than a district median can show. For a specific unit, ask us.

How to read this
- Permitted is not planned. A height limit is what a plot is allowed to become. Nothing has to be built, and what is built need not reach the limit.
- Empty means no structure is recorded. Not that work is about to start, and not that the plot is for sale.
- Counted by the register’s own district name, not by a rectangle drawn on a map. A box around a neighbourhood picks up its neighbours’ plots and produces confident, wrong numbers.

Every plot in Barsha Heights, and what it may become.
137 plots, drawn from the planning register rather than from a street map. 8 stand vacant and permit 10 storeys or more — the black ones, and the only land here that could put a building in front of you. 1 more are vacant but capped at low-rise. A further 17 are open space, roads and utilities, which the register does not permit building on at all — worth knowing before you read an empty plot as a future tower. The ringed plot carries the tallest permission still unbuilt here: up to 51 storeys.
- Built 93
- Under construction 10
- Approved, not started 7
- Vacant — 10+ storeys permitted 8
- Vacant — low-rise only 1
- Suspended 1
- Open space, roads, utilities 17

Shapes are plot boundaries as the register holds them, not building footprints — a permitted envelope is what a plot may become, not what anyone has said they will build. Everything above is the register’s except the 10-storey line between high- and low-rise, which is ours.
What Barsha Heights is
A dense mixed district between Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail, next to the media and internet clusters. It was called TECOM for most of its life and much of Dubai still calls it that, which is worth knowing when you search.
The register records more hospitality plots here than any other use — hotel apartments and serviced buildings — and that shapes the character more than any brochure line about community.
Mostly built, with room left
Ninety-six of 137 plots are complete, seventy per cent, with 22 empty and eighteen more under construction or in pre-construction. Twenty-six unfinished plots carry a height permission, the tallest at 51 storeys.
So the skyline here is largely settled compared with Business Bay or d3 — but not entirely, and a 51-storey permission is not a small thing to have next door.
Ask us what is permitted on the plot next door.
For a specific building we will read the register around it — what stands there now, what is under construction, and what height the empty plots are permitted to reach. It takes us minutes and it is the question that decides whether a view is a feature or a temporary condition.
