ROI analysis of apartment in Platinum by vision: DLD data and real deals


1. Definition of the area and data structure

Actual location: According to DLD data, the building Platinum by vision is located in the Wadi Al Safa 2 area and belongs to the Liwan1 master project. The database records 138 sale transactions for this building, and filtering by 1-bedroom (1BR) apartments provides a sufficiently “clean” analytical sample for the segment under review.
No direct rental contracts were found for this building or for Liwan1 (not a single confirmed 1BR rental contract in the building itself or the master project), so further analysis uses only area-wide residential rental statistics for Wadi Al Safa 2 (without breakdown by apartment type).

3. Analysis and dynamics of rental rates

Since there are no recorded 1BR rental contracts for the building or the Liwan1 master project, the analysis focuses on area-wide rentals in Wadi Al Safa 2 across all residential contracts.

Dynamics and level of average rent per m² in Wadi Al Safa 2 (all apartments, recent quarters, annual rental contracts):
• Q4 2024: 686 AED/m² (1,204 contracts)
• Q1 2025: 692 AED/m² (1,466 contracts)
• Over the last 12 months, the average rent in the area is approximately 675–710 AED/m²/year (there is no complete annual sample, so we use the average of the available quarters).

Filtering specifically for “1 bed room” rental contracts over the last 2 years in the area returns no results, i.e. the rental figures reflect the full range of residential rentals in Wadi Al Safa 2.


4. Yield (ROI) comparison and investment assessment

It is not possible to calculate gross ROI (ROI_brutto) for Platinum by vision due to the absence of rental contracts for the building and the master project.
Gross ROI for the area is calculated based on:
• price_psm for the area (1BR): 12,807 AED/m²
• rent_psm for the area (all apartments): 692 AED/m²/year

ROI_brutto_area = 692 / 12,807 ≈ 5.4% per annum.
Taking into account standard entry and transaction costs (7–8% of the purchase price), ROI_net_area ≈ 5.0% per annum.

Investment-fair price range per m² for an investor targeting a 7–8% ROI:
• fair price_psm_7_8 = [692 / 0.08 ; 692 / 0.07] = from 8,650 to 9,886 AED/m²
• The actual average sale level in the building (9,853 AED/m²) formally falls within the upper boundary of this range.
• The area average exceeds the fair range (12,807 AED/m² vs 8,650–9,886 AED/m²), which indicates that part of the supply is overheated and yields are compressed.


5. Liquidity, volumes and conclusions

Liquidity of Platinum by vision is high: for 1-bedroom apartments alone, 41–46 transactions per year have been concluded, which is typical for new or recently completed projects.
Wadi Al Safa 2 is a very active area in terms of both sales and rentals (tens of thousands of contracts in recent years).
Price and rental dynamics clearly reflect the post-Covid growth: over 3 years, the price per m² in the area has increased from ~5,000 to ~12,800 AED/m², while rents have risen from ~420 to ~690 AED/m²/year.
At the same time, Platinum by vision is still selling at a discount to the area, which enhances investment appeal and reduces entry risk.
Rental yields in the area have been adjusted downward due to the strong increase in sale prices; the calculated ROI is ~5% per annum (net ~4.7–5%), and to reach a target level of 7–8% an investor will need to look for deals with an additional discount or rely on further rental growth.
Official DLD data do not confirm a “clean” yield above 5.4% gross at the current price level.
There is no rental data for the building itself or even for the master project — for assessing the yield of a specific apartment, only area-wide average benchmarks can be used.

Overall, Platinum by vision appears to be one of the most liquid entry points in Wadi Al Safa 2 for investors seeking to acquire property at a discount to the area average with a high probability of further capital appreciation, but without a guarantee of high current rental income.
