Sources
- Sales count used: 2,183 registered apartment sales since 2009. The Land Department lists 3,605 Burj Khalifa transactions once mortgages and gifts are included; those have no sale price, so they are left out.
- Floor figures use the 883 sales whose unit, and so whose floor, is known. Those sales come from a sample of 562 units that traded in the last 10 years, not the whole tower. One unit can sell more than once, so there are more sales than units.
