In the UAE, property area is often advertised in **square feet (sq ft)**. If you’re used to **square metres (sq m)**, here’s the conversion and why it matters. **Conversion** - **1 sq m = 10.764 sq ft** - So: sq ft ÷ 10.764 ≈ sq m - Example: 750 sq ft ≈ 69.7 sq m **Why it matters** - **Price per sq ft vs per sq m** — Listings may show AED per sq ft. To get per sq m, multiply by 10.764 (e.g. 1,500 AED/sq ft ≈ 16,146 AED/sq m). - **Yields and comparables** — When comparing districts or buildings, use the same unit (e.g. our [Areas](/areas) and [ROI calculator](/tools/roi-calculator) use consistent metrics). **What to check** - In the SPA, area is usually stated in both sq ft and sq m. - Carpet area (usable) can be less than built-up area; check what the developer or listing refers to. For investment metrics by district see [Areas](/areas) and the [ROI calculator](/tools/roi-calculator).
