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 much of Dubai Harbour is actually built.
The register records 120 plots here. 34 are complete — 28% — and 68 are empty. Among the plots that are not finished, 32 carry a height permission, and the tallest of those may reach 70 storeys.
- Completed 34
- Under Construction 14
- Pre-Construction 4
- Empty 68

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 Dubai Harbour, and what it may become.
120 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. 12 more are vacant but capped at low-rise. A further 69 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 70 storeys.
- Built 16
- Under construction 13
- Approved, not started 2
- Vacant — 10+ storeys permitted 8
- Vacant — low-rise only 12
- Open space, roads, utilities 69

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 Dubai Harbour is
A waterfront district built out from the shoreline between Bluewaters Island and Palm Jumeirah, with the region's largest marina, a cruise terminal and a run of residential towers along the water.
It is new, which is exactly why the register is worth reading before buying here: a district this early in its life changes shape around you.
How far along it really is
Of 120 registered plots, 34 are complete and 68 are empty, with 14 under construction and four in pre-construction. Thirty-two unfinished plots carry a height permission, the tallest at 70 storeys.
None of that is an argument against buying here. It is an argument for knowing which plot sits between your balcony and the water before you pay for the view.
A project in Dubai Harbour.
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.
