What the figures show
Combined, the six plots add up to about AED 657 million and about 2.81 million sq ft of land. The largest plot, at AED 214.5 million, accounts for roughly a third of that total.
The rate per square foot is almost identical across all six plots. Two of the deals, ranks four and five, are the same in both value (AED 60,542,184) and size (258,905 sq ft). The data does not say whether the plots are linked, so no conclusion should be drawn from that.
Six deals made up a small share of the day's count of 367, but they carry large values. Land plots of this size are a different market from apartments and villas, so they should not be compared directly with typical home prices.
