ROI analysis of apartment in Skyvue Solair: DLD data and real deals — 14.12.2025


1. Definition of the area and data structure

Actual location: The Skyvue Solair building is confirmed by DLD data as part of the Skyvue project in the Bukadra area. In the master project, a separate name is not specified.

In the DLD database, 359 transactions have been recorded for the sale of one-bedroom apartments (1BR) in this building. There are no direct registered rental contracts for this building either under its name or under the project, so all rental comparisons were carried out at the Bukadra area level.

2. Sales market dynamics and structure

Analysis of 1BR transaction volume in Skyvue Solair:
– The overwhelming majority of transactions fall in Q2, Q3 and Q4 2025 (271, 73 and 15 deals respectively). This is typical for new buildings at the handover stage (bulk deals, mass closing of title registrations).
– The average price per m² for 1BR in Skyvue Solair remains in the range of 26,150–26,340 AED per m² throughout 2025 — deviations are minimal, with no signs of sharp price spikes.

Bukadra area (1BR):
– For comparison, across Bukadra the dynamics of the average price per m² (1BR) from early 2024 to the end of 2025 show a gradual increase from ~24,700 AED/m² (Q1 2024) to 25,600 AED/m² (Q4 2025).
– Over the entire period, Skyvue Solair trades at a small premium to the area (≈3–6% above the average level for Bukadra), which is typical for modern new developments.

Average price level over the last 12 months:
– Skyvue Solair (1BR): average transaction price — 26,173 AED per m² (last 12 months).
– Bukadra area (1BR): average over the same period — 25,540 AED per m².

3. Rental market analysis

For the Skyvue Solair building and the Skyvue project, data on registered lease contracts in DLD are not yet available. This is common for new properties, especially if they have just been handed over or are at the key-handover stage, when mass signing of rental contracts has not yet started.

At the Bukadra area level, the rental market is quite active: more than 500 contracts for all residential apartments have been recorded over recent years. The average annual rental rates per m² for all apartments (not only 1BR) are recorded and confirm a stable upward trend:
– From 2021 to 2024 the average rental rate increased from roughly 430 to 630 AED/m² per year.
– Over the last 12 months the rental level in Bukadra (all apartments): 623 AED/m² per year.


4. Liquidity and deal composition

Liquidity in Skyvue Solair at the start of sales was extremely high (dozens and hundreds of deals per quarter), but this is explained by project completion and mass registration of the developer’s inventory. In the quarterly dynamics, sales activity is declining, which is standard for new projects.

The activity of the area’s rental market is confirmed by regular new contracts and a stable, gradually increasing level of rental rates.


5. Yield (ROI) comparison for Skyvue Solair and Bukadra

It is not possible to calculate rental yield specifically for the Skyvue Solair building due to the absence of registered rental contracts in DLD as of today. At the Bukadra area level, using average indicators, an approximate benchmark can be derived:

– Average purchase price (area, 1BR): 25,540 AED/m²
– Average annual rent (area): 623 AED/m²
– Direct gross ROI for the area: 623 / 25,540 = 2.4% per annum

After accounting for initial transaction costs (≈7% of the purchase price), the indicative net yield (ROI_net) will be slightly lower: around 2.2%.
This level of ROI indicates a market focused on capital appreciation and value preservation rather than high current income.


6. Investment fair price range

If an investor targets a yield of 7–8% per annum, then, based on the area (with a rental rate of 623 AED/m²), the fair entry price range is:
– at 7%: 623 / 0.07 = 8,900 AED/m²
– at 8%: 623 / 0.08 = 7,788 AED/m²

The actual price level for 1BR in Skyvue Solair (26,173 AED/m²) and in the area (25,540 AED/m²) is almost three times higher than this range, which indicates clearly depressed current yields — either significant market confidence in future growth, or a temporary distortion driven by demand from owner-occupiers (for example, end-users rather than rental-focused capital).


7. Three-to-five-year outlook

As of 2025, Skyvue Solair is an extremely liquid building in terms of registered transaction volumes, with a market price 3–6% above the area average. The Bukadra area has been showing steady growth in both prices and rental rates for several years; however, current investment yields based on registered DLD contracts remain low (2–2.4% per annum).

For a buyer targeting high rental yields, a substantial discount to the market is required to reach 7–8% per annum — a level that neither the area nor Skyvue Solair can currently provide.
