1. Definition of the area and data structure
Actual location: According to DLD, Boulevard Point belongs to the Burj Khalifa area and the DownTown Dubai master project. The analysis focuses on 1-bedroom (1BR) apartments.
Volume and structure of the dataset: The DLD database records 180 transactions with 1BR apartments in this building from the beginning of 2020 to date. Sales occur on a regular basis, which allows for a confident analysis of price trends over a 3–4 year horizon. There are no rental contracts with valid data for Boulevard Point itself in the database, so benchmarks and further conclusions are based on data for the Burj Khalifa area.
2. Transaction frequency and liquidity
Over recent years, Boulevard Point has seen on average 3–12 transactions per quarter for 1BR apartments, without significant gaps. Peaks in activity occurred in 2020, 2022 and early 2025 (according to DLD, some transactions were formally registered with future dates, but for liquidity assessment only periods up to the current moment are taken into account). In the Burj Khalifa area, almost 2,000 1BR transactions are recorded annually, which indicates high liquidity in this segment, both in the building and in the area as a whole.
3. Average price per m² dynamics (Boulevard Point vs area)
At Boulevard Point, the average price per m² for 1BR units evolved as follows:
– In 2020 — the average level fluctuated in the range of 11,500–19,300 AED/m² (wide quarterly dispersion, the building was just being launched).
– In 2021 — trend consolidation in the 16,900–21,200 AED/m² range.
– 2022 – rapid growth: 18,100–23,800 AED/m².
– 2023 – stabilization and gradual growth to 22,700–27,200 AED/m² by year-end.
– Over the last 12 months: the average figure was about 26,800 AED/m².
For the Burj Khalifa area, the average 1BR sale price per m² over the same period was lower — 23,700 AED/m² over the last 12 months. Thus, Boulevard Point trades at a premium of roughly 13% to the area, which is typical for new, modern business-class developments in the city center.
4. Rental and yield
No rental contracts for 1BR units (or for Boulevard Point in general) have been recorded in the DLD database over the last 12 months. Therefore, a direct yield comparison for the building is not possible. In the Burj Khalifa area, almost 9,500 valid residential rental contracts (all layouts) have been registered over the last 12 months — indicating extremely high rental market liquidity in the area.
The current average annual rent per m² for all apartments in Burj Khalifa over the last 12 months is 1,591 AED/m². The rental trend shows steady growth: from 800–900 AED/m² in 2020 to 1,450–1,560 AED/m² in 2024, reflecting strong demand for long-term rentals in the central Dubai area.
5. Price comparison and investment potential
Boulevard Point is currently more expensive than the broader Burj Khalifa market, both according to DLD statistics and trend-wise — the average price per m² in the building over the last 12 months is ~13% above the area average. The reason is the relatively new housing stock and positioning in the premium segment.
Current gross yield (ROI) calculation:
– For Boulevard Point it is not possible to calculate rent and yield — there are no DLD contracts.
– For the Burj Khalifa area:
– Average transaction price per m² (last 12 months): 23,744 AED.
– Average rental rate per m² (last 12 months): 1,591 AED.
– Gross yield for the area: about 6.7% per annum.
– Adjusting for initial costs (7–8% entry commissions, fees and expenses), the clear net ROI for the area is around 6.2–6.3% per annum.
The “fair entry price range” for investors targeting a 7–8% annual return (based on the current area rental rate) is 19,890–22,730 AED/m². Market transactions in Boulevard Point are significantly above this level; accordingly, the price premium is explained by the building’s status, liquidity and further capital appreciation potential.
6. Summary, conclusions and recommendations
– Boulevard Point is a liquid new project in the heart of DownTown Dubai with regular transactions, strong demand and a pronounced price premium versus the wider Burj Khalifa market.
– Price dynamics here outpace the area: over the last 3 years, the average 1BR transaction price has increased by more than 50%. The average price per m² over the last year is about 26,800 AED.
– Further price growth is possible due to the uniqueness of the location, but current prices are already close to an investment plateau: market values are almost 20–30% above the level that would support a 7–8% annual ROI.
– The current rental rate in the Burj Khalifa area is 1,591 AED/m²/year; a typical investor’s ROI is around 6.2% taking costs into account.
– Investment-driven interest in Boulevard Point for buyers is primarily a bet on capital growth and high liquidity, rather than on classic rental income.
– For a conservative investor targeting a net yield of 7–8%, this project at current prices appears overvalued compared with the area average.
