The editors

We built the desk
we wished existed before our first cheque.

From the editors

Dubai's off-plan market clears 3,000 launches a year. Most of the marketing you've seen is correct only by coincidence. The job of this journal is to publish what's actually verifiable — against the Land Department's own records — and let you draw your own conclusion.

We do not take commissions on property transactions. We do not run ads. We score developers on what they've delivered, not what they've promised, and we name the towers worth ignoring. The result is the kind of brief a private bank's research desk would charge you dearly for, written for the rest of us.

The team behind the desk.

Our principles

Five things we'll never quietly stop doing.

  2. 02No paid placement. The score decides the rank.
  3. 03Methodology in the open. Anyone can audit it.
  4. 04Free for readers. No paywalls on the journal.
  5. 05No exclamation marks in the copy.
