Same landmark, different markets
Business Park and Meydan Avenue both name Downtown Dubai as their nearest landmark, yet trade 2.2× apart on price per square foot. Proximity to the same landmark does not make these comparable purchases — building age, unit mix and the specific plot matter more than the shared reference point.
What "nearest" means here
This is the landmark DLD records most often against sales in each area, not a measured walking distance. Two areas naming the same landmark can still differ substantially in actual proximity to it.
