– Growth over the last two years exceeds 30%, reflecting strong market demand and a reduction in low‑priced supply.
5. Comparison of current prices and yields
Assessment of price–rent alignment:
– In Millennium Binghatti Residences, studios are selling at an average of 18,900 AED/m² (last 12 months), against a district rental level of 1,590 AED/m².
– In Business Bay, such a unit rents for 1,590 AED/m² per year, with a market purchase price around 27,700 AED/m².
Yield (ROI) calculation:
For the building (focus on studios):
– Gross ROI for the building: 1,590 / 18,900 ≈ 8.4% per annum (gross), calculated using building prices and the district rental benchmark.
– Net ROI, factoring in transaction costs (7–8% on entry): 8.4% / 1.07 ≈ 7.8% per annum.
For the district (Business Bay, studios):
– Gross ROI for the district: 1,590 / 27,700 ≈ 5.7% per annum (before costs).
– Net ROI for the district: around 5.3% per annum.
A fair price range for an investor targeting 7–8% per annum: for the district, fair price per m² = 1,590 / 0.08…0.07 = 19,900–22,700 AED/m². Millennium Binghatti Residences is exactly within this range, while the average district price per m² is noticeably above the upper bound. This makes the building potentially attractive specifically for income‑focused investors, assuming they can achieve market‑level rents.
6. Conclusions on the asset and the district
– Millennium Binghatti Residences Business Bay is located in one of Dubai’s most liquid and mature residential districts, with transparent statistics and strong rental demand.
– Entry price for studios in this building is about 30% below the district average, which potentially provides a yield of 7–8% per annum and higher if rented at the district’s average rate.
– The fair market price range for such investment objectives – 19,900–22,700 AED/m² (targeting 7–8% ROI) – fully matches the actual average transaction price in the building over the past year.
– The building’s price dynamics show resilience: after 2021 prices stabilized and even increased. In Business Bay overall, demand remains consistently high, which minimizes vacancy risk.
– The main limitation: there are no up‑to‑date DLD rental contracts specifically for this building, so ROI is derived from the district benchmark. This must be considered when modelling potential returns, as an individual building may have its own specifics in terms of management or rentable stock.
– For investment entry, Millennium Binghatti Residences Business Bay is an attractive option for acquiring studios for long‑term rental, as the building’s pricing fits the income‑yield corridor and offers a significant premium over the district average price due to higher yield.
