95 left out of these figures: the register files one contract's whole rent on each of the premises it covers, so such a row cannot say what one premises lets for. They are counted in the Registered column.
243 of these were new tenancies and 295 were renewals of one already in place.

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 tower. Where the register names a unit inside a tower 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 files this district inside an area it shares with a neighbour, so a registration is counted here only where the register's own master project names this district. 0 registered sales and 1,931 registered tenancies in that area name a different district or none, and they are not on this page.
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 672 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.
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. Sales and tenancies are both counted over the twelve months to 22 October 2026, by the day each was registered.
