1. Definition of the area and data structure
Actual location of the property: according to the DLD database, Ozone 1 Residence is located in Al Barsha South Fourth and is part of the Jumeirah Village Circle master project. All subsequent market comparisons are based exclusively on these official identifiers.
2. Deal frequency and liquidity
The building entered active sales in 2024: the main volume of transactions falls in Q2 2024 and later, with no data available for earlier periods. Over the past 15 months, more than 200 transactions have been recorded for the building, which indicates high liquidity for a new development clearly targeted at the mass-market buyer. This also points to stable interest from investors and end users at the launch stage.
3. Sale price dynamics — building vs area
The average price per square metre in Ozone 1 Residence (with reasonable filters by unit size) has grown noticeably as the project has been sold:
– 2024, Q2: around 9,313 AED/m²,
– 2024, Q3: already 13,154 AED/m²,
– 2024, Q4: 13,701 AED/m²,
– 2025, Q1: 14,848 AED/m²,
– 2025, Q2: 11,932 AED/m²,
– 2025, Q3–Q4: stabilisation around 14,500+ AED/m².
The average price in Al Barsha South Fourth over the last 12 months is 15,464 AED/m² (based on more than 20,000 transactions). In other words, the current market position of Ozone 1 Residence is close to the area’s average level for mass-segment JVC apartments, with the dynamics of a “catching-up” project: at launch, sales went at a discount to the area, and later the pricing caught up.
The price distribution in the building indicates a range from ~5,000 to ~14,500 AED/m² for 2024–2025 transactions for typical apartments (extreme values by size and special developer pricing have been excluded).
4. Rentals and yield (ROI)
According to DLD, there is still no data on registered lease contracts for Ozone 1 Residence. This is typical for new off-plan projects: after handover, the first contracts may appear with a lag of 6–12 months.
Across the Jumeirah Village Circle master project, the average confirmed rental rate over the last 12 months is 1,028 AED/m² per year (more than 27,000 contracts). This level can be used as an area benchmark for calculating yield and investment attractiveness.
5. Yield (ROI) and fair investment price
– Actual average purchase price over the last year in the building: 13,850 AED/m² (68 transactions).
– Actual average rental rate in the area: 1,028 AED/m²/year.
– Calculated gross yield (ROI) for the project: 1,028 / 13,850 = 7.4% per annum when buying at the latest average price in the building.
– For the entire area: 1,028 / 15,464 = 6.6% per annum.
Net yield, taking into account transactional and initial costs (around 7–8%), will be lower — approximately 6.9–7.0% for the building.
For an investor targeting a 7–8% yield, the fair purchase price range for this rental level is:
– Indicatively: 1,028 / 0.08 = 12,850 AED/m² (for 8%),
– 1,028 / 0.07 = 14,686 AED/m² (for 7%).
The current actual pricing in Ozone 1 Residence falls within an investment-rational range for the JVC location when working with market-level rents.
6. Summary and outlook
The performance of Ozone 1 Residence in 2024–2025 shows a rapid convergence of prices with Al Barsha South Fourth within the broader JVC structure, confirming the investment appeal of this segment for buyers focused on rental income or long-term capital growth. The building’s liquidity is high; the realised sales volume makes the project “transparent” for valuation purposes, even though official rental benchmarks will only appear after occupancy.
Overall, a yield in the 7%–7.5% range is typical for JVC under current market conditions and is supported by hundreds of rental and thousands of sales contracts. Sellers and investors can confidently target a realistic price corridor for the building in the range of 13,000–14,500 AED/m².
Risks are associated with fluctuations in the share of tenants and future saturation of the area with new projects. However, over the next 3–5 years, JVC and specifically the Ozone 1 Residence segment are expected to remain in demand among mass-market tenants and investors seeking returns above “premium” locations at a reasonable risk level.
