The register states no floor area for 9 of these lettings, so they are counted here and set none of the figures above. On the letting register those are very often a business address registered for a licence rather than a floor of an office, and folding them in pulls the middle a long way below what real premises cost.
266 of these were new tenancies and 248 were renewals of one already in place.

The register names no building for 1 of this district's registered business sales, so they are counted in the totals above and appear under no building here.
How these figures are made
A registration is treated as business property when the Land Department's own record names it as one: an office, a shop, a showroom, a warehouse or workshop, a hotel unit, or a whole building. Where the register names a unit inside a building but not what kind, the use it records for that unit decides. Villas and plots are never treated as business property, because the register files many of Dubai's most expensive family homes under a commercial use.
The Land Department writes a use against every registration, and on a villa or a plot that field does not say whether the thing is a business or a home: the most expensive family homes in Dubai are filed under a commercial use. So the 674 villa and plot registrations in this district's register are left out of these figures rather than guessed at, and they are counted as homes.
7 registrations carry a description this desk has not been taught to read (None/None/None x5, None/None/Residential x2). They are counted here and left out of every figure until they are.
Every figure on this page is a transaction the Dubai Land Department has registered. None of them is an advert, an asking price or an estimate, and where the register holds too few of something to give a middle figure this page prints a range or a count instead of guessing one. The register read to 4 september 2026.
