Dubai Land Department transaction register, records through 8 September 2026. Recomputed on every page load.
Forte is two towers and the Land Department registers them separately. Tower one is the deeper of the pair and this page covers it alone. A price quoted for 'Forte' without a tower number has not told you which register it came from.
What sets this building apart from the rest of Downtown is the near-absence of small stock. Two and three-bedroom apartments are effectively the whole register; the one-bedroom tier is a small fraction of it and the building has no studios at all. That makes this one of the few Downtown towers where a family-sized unit is the normal product rather than the exception.
It is also the most launch-weighted register in this batch. The large majority of what is recorded here was sold before handover rather than between owners, and the register-mix line on this page states that split for the batch you are reading. A tower still that close to its launch phase has a shorter secondary history than its sale count suggests.
Across the two main tiers, the three-bedroom rate per square foot sits above the two-bedroom rate — the opposite of the assumption most buyers bring, that a bigger unit should cost less per foot. Here it does not.
Every figure is computed from the Land Department register at the moment you load the page. These are recorded sale prices, not asking prices.
Forte 1 sale prices by bedroom
Median recorded prices for Forte 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 951 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 Forte 1
- A heavily pre-handover register. Buyers who committed years before completion have had years for circumstances to change, and handover is when that shows up as a sale.
- Payment-plan exposure. A developer plan becomes a real monthly obligation at handover, and a change in income or finance costs turns into a listing shortly afterwards.
- A family-sized unit mix. Larger apartments carry the thinnest pool of buyers in any tower, and a thin pool is what turns a seller with a deadline into a seller who accepts a discount.
- Holding cost. Service charges are levied per square foot, so a large Downtown apartment that is not being lived in runs up a bill that moves an owner toward the exit.

- Confirm the tower number first. Forte one and Forte two are separate registers with separate price histories, and this page is tower one only.
- Check the rate per square foot on the three-bedroom row against the two-bedroom row before assuming the larger unit should be cheaper per foot. In this building it is not.
- 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.
Forte 1 — common questions
- Does this page cover both Forte towers?
- No. The Land Department keeps a separate register for tower one and tower two, and this page is tower one — the deeper of the two. Blending them would mix two different price histories.
- 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 is there no studio row for this building?
- Because the Land Department has never recorded a studio sale here. This tower's unit mix is built around two and three-bedroom apartments, so a studio row would be empty and we do not print empty rows.
- 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.
