3. Analysis of rental rates in Platinum by vision and the area

Rentals — according to DLD, Platinum by vision itself has 36 active contracts recorded, almost all within the past 12 months. There are no separate 2-bedroom rental deals in the database, so the calculation is based on all apartments in the building.

Average rent in Platinum by vision (annual contracts, all residential units) is 876 AED/m²/year over the last 12 months.
For Wadi Al Safa 2 the average rental rate for the same period is 745 AED/m²/year.

Rental rate dynamics:
– For Platinum by vision since the beginning of 2025 rents have been 829–914 AED/m²/year, trending upwards towards the latest quarters.
– For the area, in 2020–2022 rental rates were 400–450 AED/m²/year, followed by a gradual increase: in 2023–2024 still 520–690 AED/m²/year, and in 2025 up to 760–770 AED/m²/year.


4. ROI comparison and fair price ranges

Annual yield according to DLD (gross ROI) for Platinum by vision:
– ROI_brutto_home = 876 / 10,151 ≈ 8.6% (for a one-year period, averaged across the building, all apartments).
– ROI_brutto_area = 745 / 12,962 ≈ 5.7% (for the area, level for new buildings).

Estimated net yield (taking into account transaction costs of about 7% of the purchase price):
– ROI_net_home ≈ 8.6% / 1.07 ≈ 8.0%
– ROI_net_area ≈ 5.7% / 1.07 ≈ 5.3%

Indicative fair purchase price range for an investor to achieve 7–8% per annum at the current actual rent:
– For the building: 876 / 0.08 = 10,950 AED/m² (for 8%), 876 / 0.07 = 12,514 AED/m² (for 7%).
– For the area: 745 / 0.08 = 9,313 AED/m², 745 / 0.07 = 10,643 AED/m².

The actual average price in the building is slightly below the “fair investment target” range (10,151 AED/m² versus 10,950–12,514), which makes the asset attractive for rent-focused investors. However, the market price level in Wadi Al Safa 2 significantly exceeds this benchmark, indicating that yields on new projects in the area are steadily trending down.


5. Overall conclusions — liquidity, dynamics, outlook

– The asset demonstrates high liquidity: a large number of sales and rentals, with transactions regularly recorded in all quarters.
– Platinum by vision is currently noticeably cheaper than the area average for 2-bedroom apartments, while the average rent level in the building is higher than the area benchmark.
– The achieved yield is significantly above the area average (8.6% versus 5.7%), which indirectly points to an attractive entry price and, most likely, its tendency to grow as this segment fills up and stabilises.
– An investor in this asset can expect a net yield of around 8% per annum under the current market structure and assuming no further significant decline in rental rates.
– Given the sharp price growth in the area (and the clearly anomalous spike in 2025), the 3–5 year outlook for the market looks positive, but it is important to closely monitor price consolidation and the actual occupancy of the rental stock — excessively rapid growth is almost always followed by a correction phase.
