Actual transaction prices in Expo Living, since 2025

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.

4.6%gross rental yield, whole district

The yield is calculated across the whole district rather than the buildings on this page: there are still too few rental contracts for them, as the buildings are under construction or only recently handed over. Both rent and price in this ratio are district figures for the same 12 months.
