Choosing between a studio, one-bedroom or two-bedroom off plan apartment in Al Zahia largely comes down to comparing how each unit type's price-per-square-foot benchmark has moved over time and matching that against the asking price of a specific unit.

• Compare the current price per square foot of each unit type against its 3, 6 and 12-month movement
• Review how a specific listed unit's asking price compares with the wider benchmark for its unit type
• Factor in the total built-up area of the unit rather than relying on price per square foot alone
• Request the latest pricing directly from the developer or agent before making a decision, since benchmarks can differ from individual unit pricing
