ROI analysis of apartment in Skyvue Solair: DLD data and real deals — 14.01.2026


1. Definition of the area and data structure

Actual location: According to DLD, the Skyvue Solair building belongs to the Bukadra area (exact match of the building name). The master project is not specified in the database. All subsequent analytics are based on the identified area.

DLD records show 646 sales of apartment “units” (Flat) in this building, but there are no rental contracts registered for the building itself or the Skyvue project. Therefore, the rental and yield analysis is carried out at the area level — Bukadra.

2. Liquidity and transaction dynamics

Skyvue Solair shows a very high concentration of transactions overall, with the lion’s share registered in 2025 (Q2–Q4). This indicates mass deal closures and, most likely, handover of the property to owners. Thus, we are dealing with a new project with large-scale completion in 2025.

Over the last 12 months, sales activity has remained high: the average price per sq.m for this period amounted to 26,313 AED (after filtering out anomalous sizes and prices).

3. Average price per sq.m dynamics in the building and the area

For Skyvue Solair, the average price per sq.m has been consistently holding in the 26,300–26,400 AED range over the recent quarters of 2025.

For comparison, in Bukadra the average price per sq.m for new apartments has been gradually increasing: in 2024 – 24,700–26,000 AED, in 2025 – 25,600–26,500 AED, and in the latest 12‑month window – 25,874 AED.

Thus, Skyvue Solair is positioned slightly above the average market level of Bukadra (by 1,700–2,000 AED/sq.m, i.e. a 6–7% premium to the area for being a new development).


4. Rental market and yield

There is no data on registered rentals within Skyvue Solair itself. In the Skyvue project as a whole, there are also no contracts. We therefore move to the Bukadra area level:

In 2024–2025, the number of registered rental contracts for apartment “units” in Bukadra reached 537 — this is a high level of liquidity.

The average annual rental rate per sq.m at the area level over the last 12 months according to DLD was 626 AED/sq.m. By quarter, there is a clear upward trend in rates from 550–630 AED/sq.m in H2 2024 to 650 AED/sq.m at the beginning of 2025.


5. Comparison of the building with the area, ROI, and fair investment price range

The current market purchase level in Skyvue Solair is 26,313 AED/sq.m over the last year. The average benchmark for the area is 25,874 AED/sq.m.

The average area rental rate is 626 AED/sq.m. Based on these figures:

– Indicative “gross” ROI (area level): 626 / 26,313 ≈ 2.38% per annum.
– Corresponding “fair purchase price range” for an investor targeting a 7–8% annual yield: 7,825–8,942 AED/sq.m (calculation: rent_psm / 0.08 and rent_psm / 0.07). This is significantly below the current market price.

Even allowing for cost optimisation (net ROI after initial expenses – DLD fee, brokerage commission, registration – will be slightly lower), current market purchase levels are far above the “investment fair price” range for a baseline 7–8% rental ROI. This confirms the nature of the asset — more a product for end users or for capital appreciation plays, rather than for passive income.


6. Conclusions on investment attractiveness and outlook

Skyvue Solair is a completely new project in the new-build segment in the rapidly developing Bukadra area, with mass handover of apartments and a large number of registered transactions in 2025. At current price levels, the building trades at a premium to the area (~6–7% higher). DLD has no confirmed market rental transactions for the building itself, but the area shows high liquidity and fast‑growing rental rates.

For an investor focused on rental income, the current market price is significantly above the level at which a target ROI of 7–8% is achieved: the actual payback is clearly below the desired benchmark. The rental yield potential is low, and for a long‑term investor the focus can only be on potential capital appreciation or on leasing at above‑market rates (which needs to be confirmed once the first tenants move in).

Overall, Skyvue Solair is a liquid, quality product for an end user or a speculative investor, but not for a classic rental‑income model at today’s price levels.
