1. Location definition and data structure
Actual location: According to DLD, The One at Jumeirah Village Triangle is located in the Al Barsha South Fifth district and the Jumeirah Village Triangle master project. All subsequent comparisons of the building’s level are made against this district.
Data volume: A total of 392 sale transactions have been recorded for this building. The dynamics and current indicators are analyzed specifically for 1-bedroom apartments (1 b/r).
2. Deal dynamics and structure for the building
Frequency and distribution of transactions: Sales of 1-bedroom apartments have been recorded almost every year since 2020, which indicates consistent liquidity and sustained demand for the asset.
Price dynamics: In recent years, the average price per square meter (AED/m²) has fluctuated between AED 18,000 and 25,000 AED/m². There were quarters with a significant price spike — for example, in Q2 2023 the average price reached almost 24,600 AED/m², and in Q4 2023 it exceeded 25,000 AED/m². The latest recorded values also remain in the 19,600–22,400 AED/m² range.
Note: Transaction activity continued through 2024.
3. Comparison with the district
On average in Al Barsha South Fifth, considering only residential apartments, the weighted average price per square meter over the last two years has been 13,500–15,800 AED/m² (15,800 AED/m² over the last 12 months). Thus, 1-bedroom apartments in The One at Jumeirah Village Triangle are trading approximately 35–40% above the district’s average market level.
4. Rental analysis
For the building itself and the Jumeirah Village Triangle master project, DLD has not registered a single valid rental contract for 1-bedroom apartments over the past 3 years. Therefore, it is not possible to derive characteristic rental rates or calculate yields at the building level.
For the Al Barsha South Fifth district, the database contains sufficient information: more than 8,700 active rental contracts for apartments over three years. The average annual rent per square meter in the district over the last 12 months stands at 940 AED/m². The dynamics show an increase in the average rental rate from 550–700 AED/m² in 2022–2023 to the current 940 AED/m².
5. ROI and investment attractiveness
A yield (ROI) calculation is only possible at the district level, since there are no confirmed rental transactions for the building in DLD. The gross ROI for the district (based on the last 12 months) is: 940 / 15,800 ≈ 6.0%. Taking into account typical entry costs (around 7–8% of the purchase price, including fees and commissions), the net yield (ROI_net) for the district is about 5.6–5.7%. For the building itself, the calculation is impossible due to the absence of rental data.
Range of investment-fair prices at a target yield of 7–8%: for the district this is 940 / 0.08 = 11,750 AED/m² (upper bound), 940 / 0.07 = 13,430 AED/m² (lower bound). The current average market price in the district is above this fair investment estimate (district transaction prices are 15,800 AED/m²), and for the building the premium is even more pronounced (21,700 AED/m²). This means that a purchase at current prices does not provide a 7–8% net ROI; the achievable yield will be noticeably below the target threshold.
6. Overall assessment of liquidity and prospects
The building’s liquidity is confirmed by stable sales activity. However, the current price level for the building is significantly above the district average, which constrains its investment appeal for rental-income-focused strategies.
For investors targeting high yields, purchasing an apartment in this building at current market prices will not allow them to reach a 7–8% ROI if they rely on district-wide rental benchmarks. A purchase here is more justified for future resale (capital appreciation) or for personal use in a premium location than for building a rental-income portfolio.
For the district as a whole: rental demand is steadily increasing, but the strongest income potential is delivered by purchases closer to the mid-range market price levels.
7. Conclusions
– The market price of a 1-bedroom (1BR) unit in The One at Jumeirah Village Triangle is significantly higher than the district average.
– There are no up-to-date DLD rental data for the building; ROI calculations are only possible at the district level.
– District-level ROI is around 6% gross and about 5.6% net. For the building, the figure is lower, but exact values cannot be determined without valid rental rates.
– To achieve a target yield of 7–8%, the investment entry level in the district would need to be significantly below current transaction prices.
– Liquidity remains solid, but yield prospects for investors are constrained by high entry prices.
