– For the building: 9.6% per annum (1,196 / 12,492).
– For the area: 7.6% per annum (1,097 / 14,501).

Fair price range for an investor (1BR, with a target gross yield of 7–8% per annum):
– For DUBAI ARCH TOWER: 1,196 / 0.08 = AED 14,950/m² upper bound, 1,196 / 0.07 = AED 17,090/m² lower bound.
– The actual average transaction price (12,492) is significantly below the upper bound, giving the investor a yield buffer relative to typical targets.
Recommendation: the current market level for DUBAI ARCH TOWER is more than adequate for an investor targeting 7–8% and above, and also provides room for capital appreciation as the market strengthens.
7. Conclusions and 3–5 year outlook
DUBAI ARCH TOWER is a liquid, actively traded building in Jumeirah Lakes Towers, with proven tenant appeal and a high volume of transactions. Growth in both prices and rents in recent years has outpaced inflation and broadly tracked the overall market trends in JLT. The gap between the building’s price level and the area average creates additional upside potential as prices converge, while the elevated rental rate allows investors to count on yield spikes even with minor fluctuations in rates or unit sizes. Over a 3–5 year horizon, given the current dynamics in JLT, DUBAI ARCH TOWER can be viewed as an attractive investment for a balanced strategy between yield and liquidity.
