Dubai Land Department transaction register, records through 21 August 2026. Recomputed on every page load.
Cayan Tower is one of the few Dubai Marina buildings whose register carries a meaningful number of studio sales alongside its one- and two-bedroom stock, which makes it one of the few places a studio buyer in the Marina can check a real building-level rate rather than a district estimate.
It is also a building where the rate per square foot is comparatively flat across unit types. That is unusual, and it makes the register easier to read: a unit priced well away from its bedroom row here is genuinely away from the market, not just a different size class.
Every figure is computed from the Land Department register when you load the page — recorded sale prices, not asking prices.
Cayan Tower sale prices by bedroom
Median recorded prices for Cayan Tower by bedroom count, drawn from 1,257 recorded transactions in the Dubai Land Department register. These are the prices buyers actually paid — not asking prices, and not a district average.
| Bedrooms | Recorded sales | Median size | Median price | Median AED / sqft |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 50 | 722 sqft | AED 1,095,000 | 1,582 |
| 1 bedroom | 513 | 875 sqft | AED 1,337,160 | 1,534 |
| 2 bedrooms | 619 | 1,376 sqft | AED 1,989,540 | 1,390 |
| 3 bedrooms | 65 | 1,755 sqft | AED 2,784,780 | 1,504 |
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. Bedroom 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 Cayan Tower
- A studio and one-bedroom weighting that skews ownership toward investors, whose exits follow their own circumstances rather than the market cycle.
- Yield-sensitive ownership: where a purchase was underwritten on rental return, a change in achievable rent or a service-charge rise can force a sale quickly.
- Age. Units first recorded in 2009 reach refurbishment cycles now, and discounting is sometimes cheaper for an exiting owner than the work.
- Mortgage exposure among units financed at cycle peaks, the fastest category to reach the market when payments stop working.

- Check the studio row separately if that is what you are buying — in most Marina towers there is no studio sample worth reading, and a district average is not a substitute.
- Confirm floor and outlook. Even in a flat-rate building these move the price of an individual unit.
- 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.
Cayan Tower — common questions
- Is the price data on this page asking prices or actual sales?
- Actual sales — the Dubai Land Department's record of completed transactions, meaning the price recorded when ownership legally changed hands.
- Can I check studio prices for Dubai Marina here?
- For this building, yes. Cayan Tower is one of the few Marina towers with enough recorded studio sales to show a building-level figure. Most Marina towers have too few to publish honestly, which is why studio pricing in the district is usually quoted as an area-wide estimate instead.
- Can I tell from this data whether a unit is selling below its original price?
- No. A developer's first sale and a pre-handover resale share the same procedure code in the register, and the open export carries no unit identifier, so an original price cannot be matched 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.
