2. Liquidity and market structure

Transaction dynamics: Activity for the building started to be recorded in 2023. There is a high transaction frequency with good quarterly distribution (16–53 deals per quarter, with peaks of up to 135 deals in certain periods). This indicates a residential asset with strong demand, especially at the launch stage.
Unit sizes: Apartment areas range from 74 to 159 sq.m — typical for the premium segment of one-bedroom/studio and two-bedroom layouts.
Price range per sq.m: The minimum recorded level is 5,479 AED/sq.m, the maximum is 22,967 AED/sq.m, indicating a wide spread, likely due to differences in floor, view, layouts and finishing standards.

3. Price dynamics per sq.m (building and area)

LUMA PARK VIEWS building:
Average price per sq.m over the last 12 months: 16,013 AED/sq.m.
From 2023 to 2025, growth rates were solid: quarterly dynamics show a gradual increase from 14,770 AED/sq.m (Q3 2023) to a peak of 16,618 AED/sq.m (Q3 2025), which is above the area average.
In certain periods there are spikes that may be driven by handover of keys or release of new units.

Al Barsha South Fourth area:
Average price per sq.m over the last 12 months: 15,457 AED/sq.m.
Area dynamics are stable: from 11,405 AED/sq.m (Q2 2023) to 16,441 AED/sq.m (Q4 2025).
The building trades at a premium to the average area level, which is logical for a new complex with modern specifications.


4. Rental dynamics

For the building:
Average annual rent per sq.m over the last 12 months: 1,302 AED/sq.m.
Rental data is limited (only 9 contracts): in 2025 the average rates were around 1,189 AED/sq.m, and in 2026 (early months): 1,316 AED/sq.m. This is above the area average.

For the area:
Average annual rent per sq.m over the last 12 months: 1,039 AED/sq.m.
Rental levels in the area are rising: from 745–812 AED/sq.m (2023) to 1,066–1,145 AED/sq.m (2025–2026).


5. Comparison and yield calculation (ROI)

Comparison of the building and the area:
LUMA PARK VIEWS shows a premium in both price and yield versus the area: the price difference is around 3–4%, and the rental premium is about 25%.
Gross yield (brutto ROI) over the last 12 months:
For the building: 1,302 / 16,013 ≈ 8.1% per annum
For the area: 1,039 / 15,457 ≈ 6.7% per annum

Adjustment for transaction costs (net ROI):
Standard “entry” costs on purchase are around 7% (DLD fee, broker, registration). Net yield for the building: 8.1% / 1.07 ≈ 7.6% per annum; for the area — 6.7% / 1.07 ≈ 6.3% per annum.

Additional comment on the fair price range:
If an investor is targeting a 7–8% annual yield, the “fair” price per sq.m for this target in the building is: 1,302 / 0.08 = 16,275 AED/sq.m (for 8%), 1,302 / 0.07 = 18,600 AED/sq.m (for 7%).
The actual average sale price over the last year is 16,013 AED/sq.m, i.e. it fully fits within the target range for a 7–8% yield and does not require an additional discount.
For the area, the “investment price” range lies below the current market: 1,039 / 0.08 = 12,987 AED/sq.m (for 8%), 1,039 / 0.07 = 14,843 AED/sq.m (for 7%), while the actual sale price is 15,457 AED/sq.m, meaning some discount is required to achieve 7%+ on average across the area.


6. Conclusions and recommendations for the investor

LUMA PARK VIEWS is a liquid, modern asset with clearly expressed launch demand and stable price and rental dynamics outperforming the area.
The gross yield is one of the best in the area (>8%); after allowing for realistic costs, the net yield is around 7.5% per annum (when buying at current actual prices).
Current prices per sq.m are in line with the “investment-fair” range for a 7–8% yield. The upside for further price growth is limited — the premium to the area has already been priced in by the market, with further upside mainly dependent on the overall growth of Al Barsha South Fourth.
Liquidity is high, and demand is confirmed both for sales and for rentals.
The 3–5 year outlook is positive: assuming the market trend continues, the building will provide a stable rental income stream with minimal risk of price decline; however, for repeat resale, any additional price growth is likely to be close to the overall market (i.e. the building is unlikely to “outperform” the market again as it did at launch).
