1. Definition of the area and data structure

According to the DLD database, Park Central is a residential complex where both sales and a substantial number of rental contracts for studios have been recorded.
2. Analysis of sales volume and dynamics
The number of transactions with studio apartments in Park Central stands at 41 deals over the last three years (2023–2025), which indicates stable liquidity. Over the past 12 months, an active number of transactions has been registered.
Dynamics of the average price per m² for studios in Park Central:
– Over the last 12 months (2024–2025 deals), the average price per m² was about AED 13,675.
– Quarterly dynamics show noticeable fluctuations — from AED 7,950 to AED 15,280 per m², driven by the small number of transactions and, possibly, differences in unit sizes and studio specifications.
– For comparison, the average transaction price for studios in Business Bay over the last 12 months is more than twice as high, at around AED 28,318 per m², with quarterly values reaching AED 29,000.
On average, Park Central studios trade at a significant discount relative to the Business Bay district median.
3. Rental and yield analysis
According to DLD, there are 199 officially registered rental contracts for studios in Park Central, which indicates high liquidity in the rental market.
The average annual rental rate for studios in Park Central over the last 12 months amounted to AED 1,580/m², which is comparable to the Business Bay district average (around AED 1,616/m²), with a difference of less than 3%. A 3–5 year dynamics analysis shows a significant increase in rental rates: from below AED 900–1,000/m² in 2020–2022 to above AED 1,500/m² by mid-2024.
At the Business Bay district level, quarterly rental rates for studios have consistently exceeded AED 1,500–1,600/m² over the last 6 quarters, indicating sustained demand.
4. ROI and fair price range for an investor
Gross yield for studios in Park Central based on actual DLD data:
– Average purchase price in Park Central – AED 13,675/m² (last 12 months).
– Average rental rate in Park Central – AED 1,580/m²/year (last 12 months).
– Calculated gross ROI for the complex – around 11.6% per annum, which is significantly above a typical market benchmark.
For net yield (net ROI), we factor in standard transaction costs (DLD fee, brokerage and other costs, totalling around 7%) – the resulting ROI will be about 10.8% per annum, using a conservative estimate.
For an investor targeting a 7–8% annual yield, the fair price range for Park Central would be AED 19,750–22,570/m² (calculation: 1,580 / 0.08 to 1,580 / 0.07). The current actual market in Park Central is trading noticeably below this range, which theoretically creates an “entry premium” for the investor or indicates that the asset is undervalued compared to the district average.
In Business Bay, studios based on average prices (AED 28,318/m²) and similar rental levels show yields closer to 5.7–5.8% gross, meaning Park Central looks significantly more attractive in terms of net income on invested capital.
5. Liquidity and prospects
Data for Park Central — both for sales and rentals — is robust: the volume of contracts is high for the studio segment, and the rental market is active. In 2023–2025 both prices and rental rates have been rising, while the price per m² discount to the wider district has been maintained.
For an investor, Park Central at the current point is a lot with potentially attractive returns (above 10% net), with additional “capital gain” potential and narrowing of the discount as prices converge towards district levels. When purchasing, it is important to carefully assess the technical condition of the specific unit, holding and maintenance costs, and the specifics of rental demand, but overall the investment case is strong.
6. Brief comparison with the district
Studios in Park Central are sold at almost half the median market price of studios in Business Bay, while offering very similar rental potential. Liquidity is high, and there are no clear risks to rapid resale or tenant acquisition.
