1. Definition of the area and data structure
Actual location: according to the DLD database, the building SAMANA MYKONOS SIGNATURE is located in the Al Barshaa South Third area, within the Arjan master project. The sample for this building includes 316 sale transactions, which confirms its presence in the database and provides a sufficient volume of information for price analysis.
Data volume for the area and the master project: more than 20,000 sale transactions have been recorded in Al Barshaa South Third and around 57,000 rental contracts. Within the Arjan master project there are about 49,000 rental contracts. This is a large area with high market activity and a dynamic off-plan market.
For the building itself, the DLD_rent_contracts database contains no rental data – this is likely due to recent completion or the fact that the building has not yet been fully handed over and the rental market is only starting to form.
2. Sales dynamics and price analysis
Building (SAMANA MYKONOS SIGNATURE, 1 bedroom):
- Most transactions for 1-bedroom apartments took place from mid‑2023 onwards.
- The average price per m² fluctuated: in Q2 2023 it was 13,268 AED, the peak of mass sales came in Q3 2023 (128 transactions) at 12,847 AED/m². In Q4 2023 there was a decline to 12,598 AED/m².
- In Q1 2024 the average rose to 13,820 AED/m², in Q2 2024 it dropped again to 10,148 AED/m², although there were only 3 transactions in that quarter. In Q3 2024 and Q1 2025 the number of deals is extremely low, so the statistics for these quarters are not representative.
- The average transaction price over the last 12 months for this building was 11,939 AED/m².
Arjan master project (1 bedroom):
- High activity and a wide range of transactions make it possible to build quarterly dynamics for 2020–2025.
- In 2023 the average price ranged from 10,018 to 13,023 AED/m²; in Q2 2024 it was 13,530 AED/m².
- Over the last 12 months, the average purchase price for 1-bedroom apartments in Arjan was 13,881 AED/m² – roughly 16% higher than in the building under review.
3. Rental market analysis
For the building, the Arjan master project and the Al Barshaa South Third area there are no valid data on rental rates per m² for 1-bedroom apartments (none of the samples returned an average rental rate for this segment over the last 12 months). The likely reason is the newness of the complex or the specifics of how contracts are entered into the database. Therefore, a full assessment of the current rental level and a calculation of actual yield are not possible.
4. Comparison of the property with the area and master project
The SAMANA MYKONOS SIGNATURE building stands out with a high volume of sales at the start of construction; the average price per m² for transactions over the past year is 16% lower than the average level across the Arjan master project, which may indicate launch promotions on off-plan, developer discounts, or a focus on the mass investor. Overall, the dynamics in Arjan are stable, with an upward price trend as infrastructure is built out and the area becomes more populated.
5. Investment yield and “fair price”
Unfortunately, due to the absence of confirmed DLD rental rates for 1-bedroom apartments in the building, in Arjan and in the wider area, it is not possible to correctly assess the property’s actual yield and determine a “fair price” range based on a target investment return of 7–8% per annum. Without these data, we cannot calculate potential ROI or the indicative investment margin compared with the market.
6. Overall conclusions on liquidity and outlook
- SAMANA MYKONOS SIGNATURE has performed well on the primary market in terms of liquidity: the building has recorded more than 300 transactions, with particularly active sales at the end of 2023.
- The average transaction price for this project is still significantly below the Arjan average, creating a “price gap” for potential capital appreciation as the area develops.
- The lack of confirmed rental data does not allow conclusions on yield and investment attractiveness — it is worth waiting for this information as the building is occupied and the first contracts appear in the DLD.
- The area is developing actively, demand is stable, but investors need to monitor rental market dynamics closely to assess real returns.
