What would this size cost?
Enter the size from the brochure or the floor plan. We price it against what homes of that size actually sold for in Upper Crest — not an asking price, and not this project’s overall typical price, which mixes every size together.

What it returns
A year of rent compared with what completed homes of that size actually sold for in Upper Crest over the same twelve months. Prices are this project’s own recorded ready-home sales. Off-plan sales are left out because rent is paid on built homes. Rents marked this building are new rent contracts recorded in Upper Crest itself. The rest are homes of the same size in Downtown Dubai, used where Ejari did not name the building. A red (i) marks a figure that rests on few records, with how many.

Common questions about Upper Crest
Is Upper Crest selling off-plan or as resales?
0% of the 16 home sales recorded in Upper Crest in the 12 months to 17 Aug 2026 were off-plan, and the rest were recorded as existing property rather than off-plan. That period ends at this project's own newest recorded home sale rather than today, so a development that finished selling years ago still reports the year it was actually trading.
When did Upper Crest start selling?
The Land Department's register holds 309 home sales in Upper Crest. The earliest was recorded in Mar 2012 and the newest in Aug 2026. That is when a home sale here was first recorded. It is not the same as when the project launched or completed: the register of sales carries no build date, so we do not publish one.

Handover competition
Moderate competitionWhen Upper Crest handed over in December 2015, 3 other projects in Downtown Dubai had a handover date on record within six months either side — a reference point for how crowded that period was. The Land Department's projects file of 15 Jun 2026 lists 16 other projects in Downtown Dubai as not yet finished. None of the 3 listed below is among them.

Buying in Upper Crest?
Everything above is free and stays free. What this page cannot tell you is what your unit is worth — the typical price here covers every size at once, and a two-bedroom can be 1,062 or 1,558 sqft. Our report matches comparable sales to one unit's size, and adds the three checks that need a person to look things up in the Land Department's own systems on the day: the agent's licence, the project's escrow, and its registered status.
