ROI analysis of apartment in Al Murad Towers: DLD data and real deals — 13.01.2026

1. Definition of the area and data structure

Actual location: according to the DLD database, AL MURAD TOWERS belongs to the Al Barsha First area. This is sufficient for a correct comparison at the area level — the master project is not explicitly specified, so all further aggregates are built at the area level.

2. Sale transactions for 2-bedroom apartments in AL MURAD TOWERS

The DLD database contains 48 transactions with 2-bedroom (2 b/r) apartments in this building over several years — this is more than enough for representative quarterly/annual analytics.

3. Price dynamics: building vs area

Over the past 4 years, for 2-bedroom apartments in AL MURAD TOWERS, the transaction flow has been evenly distributed by quarter, while the price range per sq.m has varied. Over the last 12 months, the average transaction price in the building was about AED 11,100/m². For comparison, across all residential apartments in Al Barsha First, the average secondary market price per m² over the last 12 months is higher — around AED 16,850/m². On a longer horizon (by quarters), both the area and the building show fluctuations and spikes, but the overall trends are increasing liquidity and recovery/growth in prices after the local minimum in 2022.

4. Rentals (area-level analysis)

In the DLD rental database there are no direct mentions of AL MURAD TOWERS or similar variants in the rental transaction arrays — which means a building-level calculation is impossible due to the lack of sufficiently detailed contracts. For a correct comparison, the analysis is raised to the Al Barsha First area level, using aggregates for all residential apartments in the area. The average annual rental rate per square meter in the last 12 months for the area is AED 870/m², and over longer intervals there is a clear positive trend (growth from ~650–750 to almost 870 AED/m² over the last 2 years).

5. ROI and “fair price range”

The gross yield for an investor at the area level (the correct benchmark for purchases in AL MURAD TOWERS) is calculated as: 870 / 16,850 = 5.2% per annum gross (excluding expenses). For AL MURAD TOWERS this ratio cannot be calculated directly — the DLD does not show registered rental contracts of the relevant class for this building. Net yield for the area, taking into account all costs and commissions, will be around 4.8–4.9% per annum.

The “fair price range for an investor” targeting a 7–8% yield for the area (assuming the current average rental level is maintained) is 10,900–12,400 AED/m² (calculated as “rental rate / required yield”). This is noticeably below the current market prices in the area (~16,850 AED/m²) and slightly above the current average transaction level in the building (~11,100 AED/m². Thus, transactions for 2-bedroom apartments in AL MURAD TOWERS on average fall within the fair price range for retail investors in Al Barsha First targeting a 7–8% yield.

6. Liquidity and demand

By the number of sales and rental contracts, Al Barsha First is in the top liquidity group in Dubai — a large volume of sale and lease transactions, with hundreds of apartment deals per quarter, which ensures high resale and rental liquidity. In AL MURAD TOWERS, sales are recorded on a stable basis, which positively affects investment and exit prospects.

7. Investor conclusion

AL MURAD TOWERS (2-bedroom apartments) are priced below the area average, which makes them an attractive option in terms of entry level. The current average price in the building allows an investor to target a yield close to 7–8% per annum when renting out, provided a tenant can be found at market rates. Rental liquidity in the area is high, but it should be noted: no direct DLD rental contracts for 2-bedroom apartments specifically in AL MURAD TOWERS have been found, so all benchmarks are area-based, and the individual scenario will require clarification (unit size, floor, condition). Overall, the building and the area show stable demand both for purchase and for rent, with recent years characterised by rising prices and rents and strong market resilience.
