68 registered tenancies of a home in THE DISTINCTION started in the twelve months to 9 September 2026, out of 365 on the register all told.
New tenancies, 58 of them, register at median AED 135,000 a year. Renewals, 10 of them, register at median AED 117,500.

Method, briefly
Completed resales only: sale procedure, existing-property registration, duplicates removed on transaction identity; off-plan sale registrations and financing instruments are outside the basis. Publication thresholds are the Desk's standard, and they bind at every grain on this page including each bedroom count: median at eight or more sales in the window, the range at three to seven, the count below three. The register lists it under that name.
Composed from the gated production registry of The Downtown Dubai Desk, the register read to 08 September 2026, promoted through the Desk's six-layer calibration gate. The full contract for source, verification, thresholds and corrections: the method page. This page reports in area context on The Downtown Dubai Desk; every building and project in the district has its own page in the Downtown Dubai index of buildings and projects.
