1. Definition of the area and data structure
Actual location: according to DLD, AL MURAD TOWERS is located in Al Barsha First. The master project field in the database for this property is not filled in.
According to DLD records, there have been roughly 171 transactions in this building, of which 16 relate to studios. In the rental table, there is no data at the building or project level; rental analysis is only possible at the level of Al Barsha First, where the volume of contracts is very high (more than 74,000), which guarantees strong liquidity and a representative average rental rate.
2. Transaction analysis and price dynamics
The number of transactions for studios in AL MURAD TOWERS is small, but deals have been recorded almost every year: the latest identified sales were in 2024 and earlier. In other words, the presence of a market for this asset is confirmed, but liquidity for studios is limited.
Dynamics of the average price per square meter for studios in AL MURAD TOWERS over the past few years (by quarter):
– In 2021: in the range of 15,500–14,950 AED/m²
– In 2022 there was a noticeable decline: in some quarters the average dropped to 10,260 AED/m²
– 2023–2024: recovery and stabilization of prices at 12,300–12,900 AED/m², with a local peak in recent quarters of around 13,700 AED/m²
In Al Barsha First, the average price per m² for apartments over the same period and by quarter ranges between 8,200–17,250 AED/m². In the last quarters of 2024, the averages were 11,960–12,290 AED/m²; in 2025, some quarters show a spike to 17,000+ AED/m² (individual transactions can skew the figures due to outliers). It is important to note that the average price per m² for studios in AL MURAD TOWERS over the last 12 months has been slightly above the district average (13,115 versus 11,960–12,290 AED/m²).
3. Rental market analysis
The rental table for AL MURAD TOWERS itself, and separately for studios in the building, returned no results; this is a typical situation — for individual buildings DLD does not always disclose rental data. Therefore, the analysis is done at district level.
In Al Barsha First, the average annual rental rate per m² over the last 12 months is about 855 AED/m². Over the past 4 years there has been clear growth: while in 2020–2021 the rate was 580–724 AED/m², in 2024 it exceeded 820 AED/m², and in the current quarters of 2025 it is holding around 860 AED/m².
The district sample is very large, so the average rent is highly representative; for individual properties, especially studios, deviations can be significant, but there are no obvious grounds to assume levels substantially above the district average.
4. ROI and investment assessment
The average purchase price of a studio in AL MURAD TOWERS over the last 12 months is about 13,115 AED/m².
The average rent in the district over 12 months is about 855 AED/m²/year.
Brutto ROI when buying a studio in this building and using the district rental rate: 855 / 13,115 = 6.5% per annum (rounded).
Taking into account initial costs (7–8% for the transaction, commissions and registration), net ROI falls to 6.0–6.1% per annum.
For an investor targeting a yield of 7–8% per annum, the fair purchase price range in the district is 10,690–12,210 AED/m² (calculation: 855 / 0.08; 855 / 0.07). Current transaction levels for studios in AL MURAD TOWERS slightly exceed the upper boundary of this range (prices are 8–18% higher than the level that would provide an “investment fair value” of 7–8% per annum for the district.
5. Liquidity and outlook
Transactions involving studios are infrequent, but market activity for both the building and the district is stable — rental volumes are huge, and the number of actual apartment sales is more than sufficient to confidently assess price trends. The building currently looks like a liquid asset; its price growth potential is constrained by the overall dynamics of the district and demand for this product type (studios). From an investor’s perspective, the yield level in the district is still below typical target market levels and requires either negotiating a discount or waiting for further rental growth to reach 7–8% per annum at entry.
6. Conclusions
AL MURAD TOWERS is one of the more stable buildings in Al Barsha First; its studios are priced slightly above the district average, which can be explained either by the specifics of the building itself or by the small number of transactions. Current brutto yield is about 6.5% per annum according to DLD data, with net yield closer to 6%. To reach the target 7–8%, an investor needs either an 8–18% discount from current prices or to rely on additional rental growth. The district is characterized by very high liquidity in both the rental and sales markets.
