The figures below come from registered Dubai Land Department transactions, not from listings. We show the median rather than the mean, so that one-off penthouses do not distort it.
The yearly figure compares the last 12 months with the 12 before them. Calendar years would not work here: the current one is unfinished, so the comparison would understate the change. The median across the whole district moved -1% over the same year — that gap reflects which buildings came to market, not existing homes changing in price.
From 2023 to 2025 — +2% on the price per square metre across 2 buildings that traded in both years.
Top to bottom: purchase price per m², year, annual rent per m², gross yield. Showing the last 4 years, from 2023.
* 2026 is still in progress, so its bar covers part of the year and is not directly comparable with the ones before it. The growth figure below uses completed years only.
All figures are medians rather than means: in thin years the mean swings with the mix of units and shows movement the market never had. The yield is gross — service charges are not published in the register, so they cannot be deducted honestly.
| Building | Deals | Price per m² |
|---|---|---|
| Design Quarter - Tower A | 18 | 27 548 |
| Design Quarter - Tower B | 17 | 30 289 |
