1. Definition of the area and data structure
Actual location: according to Dubai Land Department data, RITZ RESIDENCE is located in the Warsan Fourth area and belongs to the master project International City Phase 3. All analytics below are based on verified DLD data for this building, the master project, and the area.
2. Transaction volume and liquidity
For 1-bedroom apartments (1BR) in RITZ RESIDENCE, 99 transactions have been registered since October 2020. The data covers the period from 2020 to 2026; however, the analysis includes only actual transactions up to the current year. The distribution of deals by year and quarter shows periods of moderate market activity – from 1 to 15 transactions per quarter, with a noticeable increase during 2023 and 2024. This indicates a fairly stable demand for this apartment type in the building.
3. Price dynamics for the building and the area
The average price per square metre for 1-bedroom apartments in RITZ RESIDENCE historically fluctuated in the range of 4,500–5,500 AED/m² from 2020 to 2023, and from 2024 a substantial increase has been observed: the average price in recent quarters exceeded 7,200 AED/m², with individual transactions already above 7,900 AED/m².
For comparison, in Warsan Fourth for similar apartments, the current average price per m² is higher: over the last 12 months it has been around 9,617 AED/m². Historically, the area has shown higher values, especially in 2023–2024, when average prices reached 7,500–8,300 AED/m², with some quarters above 9,500–10,700 AED/m².
Thus, transactions in RITZ RESIDENCE are taking place at a noticeable discount to the area average. This property appears somewhat more affordable relative to its surroundings, especially over the past year.
4. Market rent and yield (ROI)
According to DLD data, there have been no registered current rental contracts for 1-bedroom apartments in recent years – neither for the building, nor for the master project, nor for the Warsan Fourth area. No aggregate query returns valid average rental rates (for the last 12 months or over a longer horizon). As a result, it is impossible to calculate a valid annual rent per m² and, consequently, to calculate ROI using the income/capital formula for this segment based on DLD.
It is also not possible to determine for an investor the range of “fair investment prices” for a target yield of 7–8% per annum – the market rental level is not confirmed by open DLD statistics.
5. Summary assessment
RITZ RESIDENCE is a building with confirmed market liquidity and a rising price per square metre, which is significantly more affordable compared with Warsan Fourth. The current average price per m² in the building is roughly 25% below the area average (7,200 versus 9,600 AED/m²). This is an important advantage for buyers and investors looking to enter at a lower price point.
However, in the absence of confirmed DLD data on the rental market (both for the building and for the area), it is not possible to objectively assess the income potential and investment feasibility for the 1BR format. To evaluate the real yield of an apartment or a fair price level based on an income strategy, access to reliable data on long-term rental rates is required. If the investment goal is rental income, additional market data collection outside DLD will be necessary (for example, analysis of active listings), but when working strictly with DLD data, it is currently impossible to rely on ROI and “investment value” metrics for this building.
6. Outlook and conclusions
– Transaction liquidity in RITZ RESIDENCE is objectively confirmed – 1-bedroom apartments are sold on a regular basis.
– Market price dynamics are positive: the building is appreciating faster than many peripheral Dubai assets and offers buyers an entry point below the area benchmark.
– There is no evidence of stable rental demand (from the perspective of open DLD contracts) – the rental market for 1-bedroom apartments in this area is currently low-transparency.
– For own use and with a focus on capital appreciation, the property is attractive. An investor focused on rental yield will need additional market verification.
– ROI assessment is impossible without confirmed rental rates – relying solely on sales data is not recommended.
