Dubai Land Department transaction register, records through 8 September 2026. Recomputed on every page load.
Act One | Act Two is a two-tower development in the Opera District, and the Land Department keeps a separate register for each tower. A price quoted for the development without a tower number could belong to either; everything on this page is scoped to Tower 1 alone.
Two-bedroom apartments are the largest tier, with one-bedrooms and three-bedrooms behind them. There is a small four-bedroom tier above that sells rarely enough to rest on very little evidence, and the table shows each row's sale count so the difference is visible rather than implied.
The register is mixed — off-plan registrations as well as completed units changing hands — and the register-mix line states the split. Its first recorded sale dates from 2016.
Every figure is computed from the Land Department register at the moment you load the page, four-month window first. These are recorded sale prices, not asking prices.
Act One Tower 1 sale prices by bedroom
Median recorded prices for Act One | Act Two Tower 1 by bedroom count. Each row is priced on the last 4 months wherever that period holds enough sales, and steps back only as far as it has to — 12 months, then 3 years, then the whole record. The period each row actually covers is named beside it, with the number of sales behind it, so you can see exactly how thin or deep the figure you are reading is. Every row also shows what has traded in the last 4 months, including when that is nothing — set against the full record of 695 recorded transactions. These are the prices buyers actually paid — not asking prices, and not a district average.

A bedroom type with fewer than five recorded transactions keeps its count and loses its median: below that sample a middle value is arithmetic, not a market rate. A median taken across the whole register mixes prices from every year the building has traded, so each row above is priced on the most recent period that clears that threshold. Rows can sum to less than the building total — very large units are held out of the table for the same reason.

Why below-market resale shows up in Act One Tower 1
- A large two-bedroom tier. In a building's largest tier a seller who needs to move quickly is up against the most similar units, and price is the quickest way to stand out.
- Downtown holding costs. Service charges in the district are among the higher ones in Dubai per square foot, and they fall due whether the unit is let, lived in or empty.
- A second-home and investor register. Much of this stock is not owner-occupied full time, so sales follow a change in the owner's circumstances rather than anything happening in the Dubai market.
- Mortgage exposure. Apartments bought with finance near a price peak tend to be among the first to reach the market when a repayment schedule stops working.

- Confirm the tower number. The two towers are registered separately and priced separately here, so a figure from one is not evidence about the other.
- Do not price this building from a Downtown Dubai average. The district runs from compact one-bedroom stock to very large apartments, and a district figure blends them.
- Ask for the current service charge per square foot and the last two years of it. In Dubai it is set per building and reviewed annually, and a rise of a dirham or two per square foot moves a mid-size flat's running cost by thousands a year.
- Ask which register the unit sits on. A completed home changes hands on the secondary register at the Land Department; a pre-handover unit is an assignment of the original sale contract, needs the developer's no-objection certificate, and carries whatever is left of the payment plan.
Act One Tower 1 — common questions
- Does this page cover both Act One and Act Two?
- No. The Land Department registers the two towers separately and this page reports Tower 1 alone. A figure covering both would describe neither building on its own.
- Is the price data on this page asking prices or actual sales?
- Actual sales. Every figure comes from the Dubai Land Department's record of completed transactions — the price recorded when ownership legally changed hands.
- Why can rows in this table cover different periods?
- Because each row is priced on the most recent period that holds enough of its own sales: the last four months first, then the last twelve months, the last three years or the whole record. Each row names the period it uses, and a row whose sales are too few even over the whole record keeps its count but shows no price.
- Can I tell from this data whether a unit is selling below its original price?
- No. The Land Department records a developer's first sale and a pre-handover resale under the same code, and the export carries no unit identifier, so an original price cannot be traced to a later sale of the same apartment.
- How current is this register?
- The page states the date of the most recent recorded sale it holds and recomputes every figure on load. Records arrive in batches, so the newest few days are typically not yet included.
