4. Comparative analysis, ROI and “fair price range”
Current figures for the last 12 months:
- Average sale price per m² for studios (building): 17,148 AED/m².
- Average rent per m² for studios (building): 1,485 AED/m².
- For the area, comparable figures: 19,599 AED/m² (sale), 1,100 AED/m² (rent).
Gross yield (ROI) is calculated as the ratio of average rent to purchase price:
- For the building: ROI_brutto ≈ 8.66%.
- For the area: ROI_brutto ≈ 5.61%.
Adjusting to “net” yield, taking into account one‑off transaction costs (7–8% on top), reduces the yield:
- For the building: ROI_net ≈ 8.66% / 1.08 ≈ 8.02%.
- For the area: ROI_net ≈ 5.61% / 1.08 ≈ 5.19%.
For investors targeting a 7–8% annual yield, the “fair price range” for the building at the current rental level is 18,560–21,214 AED/m² (calculation: 1,485 AED/m² / 0.08 and / 0.07). The current price level in the building is slightly below this fair range, which creates potential both for further price growth (if rents remain at current levels or increase further) and for an attractive investment entry (the building delivers a yield above the area average).
For the area, the “fair price” range is 13,750–15,714 AED/m², which is noticeably below the actual average transaction price in the area (hence the lower ROI for an average apartment across the district). This underlines that, specifically for studios, DUBAI ARCH TOWER is more profitable than most comparable assets nearby for an income‑focused investor.
5. Liquidity and outlook
The building is characterised by high liquidity: stable volumes of sales and leases, regular new contracts, and active dynamics in both sales and rentals over a long horizon.
Over the last 3–5 years both the building and the area have shown positive dynamics in prices and rental rates, with outpacing growth in DUBAI ARCH TOWER studios. Given the gap between current yields and the market price level in the area, DUBAI ARCH TOWER is one of the most attractive assets in this segment for an investor.
The potential for further rental growth is limited — a plateau is already visible — however, support in the form of a relatively low (for the area) entry price will maintain the building’s appeal for new buyers, even amid stronger competition for tenants. The Jumeirah Lakes Towers area has historically enjoyed high demand and liquidity, which reduces investment risk.
