# Retail Construction Cost Planning: Mohammed Bin Zayed City, United Arab Emirates

> Mohammed Bin Zayed City retail cost planning using the World Bank ICP 2021 national construction price-level index of 67.1, plus a GeoNames-based local comparable-search shortlist.

- Canonical: https://harth.build/resources/construction-costs/retail-construction-cost-mohammed-bin-zayed-city-ae/
- Last updated: 2026-09-15
- Data source: National screening observation from the [World Bank ICP 2021 API](https://api.worldbank.org/v2/sources/90/country/ARE/classification/PX.WL/series/1501200/time/YR2021/data?format=json) and [ICP data documentation](https://www.worldbank.org/en/programs/icp/data); locality and population from the [GeoNames AE dump](https://download.geonames.org/export/dump/AE.zip) (CC BY 4.0 snapshot 2026-08-26, GeoNames ID 13118447). The PLI is not a city cost/m² rate, current escalation series or tender estimate.

## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| National construction PLI | 67.1 (World Bank ICP 2021; World = 100) |
| Screening ratio to world | 0.671 (dimensionless PLI ÷ 100; not a city location factor) |
| Locality reference | 24.3479, 54.5537 (GeoNames ID 13118447) |
| Snapshot population | 85,000 (20 of 50 listed United Arab Emirates places) |
| Nearest listed peer | Musaffah · 7 km (great-circle distance between GeoNames reference points) |
| Estimate currency | AED (obtain a current local rate and named base date) |

## Direct answer

For early retail construction cost planning in Mohammed Bin Zayed City, the World Bank ICP reports a 2021 United Arab Emirates construction price-level index of 67.1, with the world equal to 100. This is a national comparison—not a Mohammed Bin Zayed City AED/m² rate or tender estimate—so replace it with current local evidence before budgeting or procurement. The observation covers construction across United Arab Emirates in 2021; it does not measure a Mohammed Bin Zayed City market basket or current retail tenders. GeoNames 13118447 records the locality at 24.3479, 54.5537, with snapshot population 85,000. That ranks Mohammed Bin Zayed City 20 of 50 listed places, while Musaffah is the nearest listed peer at about 7 km. Use these facts only to plan the comparable search. Obtain current local rates on a consistent area basis, then reconcile scope, taxes, fees, contingency and escalation. Retain the source, base date and reviewer when local evidence replaces the screening ratio.

## What does the 67.1 construction index mean?

The World Bank ICP 2021 construction PLI for **United Arab Emirates is 67.1**, compared with a world benchmark of 100. It is a national spatial price comparison assembled for the 2021 reference year. It does not say that retail work in Mohammed Bin Zayed City costs 0.671 times a current world rate.

## Which Mohammed Bin Zayed City inputs are known?

The reproducible locality point is **24.3479, 54.5537** (GeoNames 13118447). Its snapshot population is **85,000**, ranked 20 of 50 listed places; GeoNames classifies it as a populated place in administrative area 01. These facts shape the local comparable search, not the price.

## What must a project estimate add?

For a Mohammed Bin Zayed City retail project, reconcile shell condition, tenant fit-out, servicing, trading constraints and landlord works. Use a consistent gross-floor-area basis and record the following before reliance.

| Estimate field | Screening record | Project requirement |
| --- | --- | --- |
| National context | ICP 2021 PLI 67.1 | Retain only as dated cross-country context |
| Local AED/m² rate | Not supplied | Current comparable with named source and base date |
| Area and scope | Gross floor area; scope unresolved | Measurement standard, specification and procurement route |
| Additions | Not supplied | Taxes, fees, site work, contingency and escalation |
| Review | Automated source and arithmetic QA | Qualified local cost review |

## Price-level normalization worksheet

For a validated reference rate **R** from a country with construction PLI **P**, the transparent screening calculation is **R × (67.1 ÷ P)**. At P = 100 the dimensionless ratio is 0.671; no world cost rate is asserted. Keep the reference rate's currency, base date, area basis and scope attached.

| Input | Recorded value | Release condition |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Target national PLI | 67.1 (World = 100, 2021) | Screening context only |
| Reference construction PLI P | User-supplied from the same ICP classification/year | Must match reference rate country |
| Validated reference rate R | User-supplied | Named source, currency, date, area and scope |
| Local Mohammed Bin Zayed City adjustment | Not asserted | Replace with current local comparable evidence |
| Result status | Screening normalization | Not a budget, quote or tender estimate |

## Sources and method

National screening observation from the [World Bank ICP 2021 API](https://api.worldbank.org/v2/sources/90/country/ARE/classification/PX.WL/series/1501200/time/YR2021/data?format=json) and [ICP data documentation](https://www.worldbank.org/en/programs/icp/data); locality and population from the [GeoNames AE dump](https://download.geonames.org/export/dump/AE.zip) (CC BY 4.0 snapshot 2026-08-26, GeoNames ID 13118447). The PLI is not a city cost/m² rate, current escalation series or tender estimate.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does the 67.1 index give a retail cost per m² for Mohammed Bin Zayed City?

No. 67.1 is the World Bank ICP 2021 national construction price-level index for United Arab Emirates, with the world equal to 100. It is a cross-country screening statistic, not a Mohammed Bin Zayed City AED/m² rate, escalation index, quote or tender estimate.

### How should a Mohammed Bin Zayed City retail estimate replace this screening benchmark?

Collect current Mohammed Bin Zayed City comparables on a consistent gross-floor-area basis, reconcile shell condition, tenant fit-out, servicing, trading constraints and landlord works, and state base date, currency, taxes, fees, site work, contingency and escalation. A qualified local cost professional should review the resulting project estimate.
