Business Bay is the busiest resale market in Dubai that most price guides describe with a single number, and it is the one district where a single number is most certainly wrong. The reason is not the towers. It is that Business Bay is genuinely mixed use, and close to half of everything the Land Department registers here is not a home at all.
In the twelve months to 22 October 2026, the Dubai Land Department registered 1,944 home resales across Business Bay, over 85 towers that traded in the period. The busiest were Peninsula Three (138 registered resales, median AED 1.75 million, about AED 2,678 per square foot), Damac Towers By Paramount (100 resales, median AED 1.65 million) and Prive By Damac (87 resales, median AED 1.04 million).

From AED 99
The same report is on sale for every other district on this site. The eight busiest are Jumeirah Village Circle, Dubai Marina, Mohammed Bin Rashid City, International City Phase 1, Dubai Sports City, Downtown Dubai, Arjan and Dubai Hills Estate, and twenty-one more are on the reports desk. Each one is this year for AED 199 or one earlier year for AED 99, and every year since the register opened for AED 499 where that record is on the shelf. 16 towers and communities in those districts have a file of their own, AED 49 for the last twelve months or AED 149 for every sale since the first.

What it is
A PDF of the Land Department's own register for one place. No asking prices, no listings, no opinion of ours.
What you get
Every registered sale in it, row by row and newest first: the date, the price, the size, the rate per square foot, and the rent record beside it.
How it is yours
Bought once, tax inclusive, no subscription. Emailed by a person, usually within the hour. Keep it, print it, show it to anyone.
Why it will not embarrass you
Every figure traces to a registered transfer, and each page count on this page is the real length of the file we fetched and counted. If it is wrong you get the corrected file: delivery, replacement and cancellation.
Why you would buy it again
The register moves every day. A document is rebuilt at the next reading after its register moves and says the date it was read to, so a later copy carries every sale registered since.

The offices are the reason the averages you have seen are wrong
The register types every Business Bay transaction by product: a flat, an office, a shop, a hotel room. Close to half of the district's registered resales are offices, shops and hotel stock, and their prices behave nothing like an apartment's. Blend them and you get a number that describes no buyer and no seller. The Desk routes every one of them out before a single figure is computed, counts them openly on the district page, and publishes only what the register calls a home. If a price you have been quoted for Business Bay looks strange, this is the most likely reason.
Why the tower is the unit
Even among the homes the spread is wide. Business Bay's towers went up over more than a decade, by many developers, along the canal and away from it, and two towers a few hundred metres apart can register medians that differ by a factor of two. The Desk therefore publishes the district tower by tower: 85 towers that traded in that time, each with its own count, median, range and per-square-foot rate, and its window split by bedroom count where the register carries one. The register names more towers still that have never registered a resale; they are listed and they wait.
What the history shows
The register holds Business Bay resales since 2010, 18,650 home resales in total, so the established towers have a long record and their medians move slowly. The newest handovers register high first-year volume as off-plan buyers sell on; those medians are real registered prices but describe a tower's first year of trading rather than a settled market. The Land Department also records transfers at below-market values, which is why the Desk leads with the median and the count and never prints the lowest transfer in a tower as its price.
The free desk page carries every tower with its twelve-month figures, its bedroom split and its registered rents. The paid report carries the year-by-year record for the whole district and every registered sale row by row.
Questions people ask
How many apartments sold in Business Bay in the last year?
The Dubai Land Department registered 1,944 home resales across Business Bay in the twelve months to 22 October 2026. Offices, shops and hotel stock are registered separately and are not counted in that figure.
Which Business Bay tower had the most sales?
Peninsula Three, with 138 registered resales at a median of AED 1.75 million in the twelve months to 22 October 2026.
Why is your Business Bay figure lower than others I have seen?
Because close to half of what the Land Department registers in Business Bay is offices, shops and hotel stock rather than homes. The Desk excludes them from every home figure and counts them openly on the district page.
Are these asking prices?
No. Every figure is a transfer registered with the Dubai Land Department, published tower by tower, never at unit level.
