1. Definition of the area and data structure
Actual location: According to DLD data, CONCEPT 7 RESIDENCES is unequivocally located in Al Barsha South Fourth, within the Jumeirah Village Circle master project. All further comparative analysis is conducted against this specific area and master project.
2. Liquidity and transaction frequency
For 2-bedroom apartments in the building, 12 completed sales have been recorded. Transactions have been taking place regularly in all recent quarters, with a peak in 2023–2025. Over the last 12 months there has been at least one transaction, which indicates market liquidity even given the relatively small scale of this new building.
Across the wider Jumeirah Village Circle market and Al Barsha South Fourth area, transaction volumes are significantly higher, providing a robust statistical base for comparison.
3. Price dynamics over 3–5 years
CONCEPT 7 RESIDENCES (2-bedroom apartments):
– The average price per sq.m has increased from 13,024 AED (Q4 2023) to 20,602 AED (Q3 2025).
– In 2024 the trend was positive: 13,763–15,238 AED per sq.m.
– Important: a single “abnormally low” transaction in Q2 2025 (4,117 AED per sq.m) looks like an outlier against typical levels. This may be related to a special-case deal or a structural data error, but a single data point does not affect the overall trend.
Jumeirah Village Circle, Al Barsha South Fourth (2-bedroom apartments, master project/area):
– The average price per sq.m shows steady growth: 10,300 AED at the beginning of 2023, 12,800–13,200 AED in 2024 and early 2025.
– The growth rate is above the Dubai average over the last 2 years, meaning JVC is a sought-after and rapidly developing area.
Comparison: Over the last 12 months, the price per sq.m in CONCEPT 7 RESIDENCES has been higher than the area average (20,602 AED versus 12,967 AED per sq.m in the area). This is explained by the building’s newness and premium positioning, but it also calls for closer attention to yield.
4. Rental dynamics and yield (ROI) calculation
Rent:
– There is no rental market data for the building itself in DLD: no recorded contracts for 2-bedroom apartments either at the building level or at the master-project level. Data on average annual rent per sq.m is therefore taken at the Al Barsha South Fourth area level.
– In the area, over the last 12 months the average rental rate has been 1,051 AED per sq.m per year, with slow but steady growth in 2023–2025 (from 740 AED per sq.m in 2023 to 1,050+ AED now).
5. Key metrics over the last 12 months
– Average sale price per sq.m (CONCEPT 7 RESIDENCES, 2-bedroom): 20,602 AED.
– Average sale price per sq.m (JVC/Al Barsha South Fourth, 2-bedroom): 12,967 AED.
– Average annual rent per sq.m (Al Barsha South Fourth, all apartments): 1,051 AED.
ROI calculation:
– Gross yield (ROI_brutto) for an investor in the area: 1,051 / 12,967 ≈ 8.1% per annum.
– For the building itself, the calculation is not possible (no rental data for the building), so we use the area yield as a relevant benchmark.
– Taking into account transaction costs (7–8% entry), net yield (ROI_net) in the area decreases to around 7.5–7.6% per annum.
Assessment of a fair price range for an investor:
– To achieve 7–8% per annum at the current area rental level, the fair investment price range is 1,051 / 0.08 = 13,138 AED per sq.m (for 8%) and 1,051 / 0.07 = 15,014 AED per sq.m (for 7% per annum.
– The current average price in the building (20,602 AED per sq.m) is significantly above this range; to reach a 7–8% yield, an investor would need a substantial discount.
6. Final conclusions
– Liquidity in the building is confirmed: 12 actual transactions for 2-bedroom apartments have been recorded, including recent sales.
– The rate of price growth in CONCEPT 7 RESIDENCES is higher than the average dynamics in the area, reflecting demand for new JVC projects.
– The current average price per sq.m in the building exceeds the area average by 50%+, which potentially narrows the pool of buy-to-let investors.
– At current purchase prices in the building, yields will be significantly below the targets of most financial investors (under 5–5.5% per annum on a gross basis).
– The JVC/Al Barsha South Fourth area remains one of the most dynamic in terms of demand and new construction, but buyers of premium off-plan projects should be prepared for lower yields or count on yield growth driven by rising rents.
– For an investor targeting 7–8% per annum, the “fair price” to buy a 2-bedroom apartment in the area should be in the range of 13,000–15,000 AED per sq.m, which is closer to the market average than to current prices in CONCEPT 7 RESIDENCES.
7. Brief decision-making summary
– The property sells well and is in demand; it is liquid.
– Price dynamics in the building are stronger than the area average, but at current levels an investor receives a yield below typical expectations (especially after factoring in entry costs).
– For an end-user or owner-occupier, this is a quality product in a rapidly developing area.
– For a rental-focused investor, it is reasonable to negotiate a discount to the current price or consider alternative options in JVC.
