A studio above the Golden Visa threshold, which is the whole point
AED 2,022,936 for a 558 square foot studio looks expensive until you see what it is engineered to do.
The UAE Golden Visa threshold is AED 2 million. This studio clears it by AED 22,936. It is, as far as we are aware, close to the smallest and cheapest unit in Dubai that qualifies a buyer for the ten year renewable residence visa.
For a buyer whose primary objective is residency rather than floor area, that is a genuinely efficient purchase. You are putting the minimum qualifying capital into a completed, prime district asset rather than into a larger unit in a weaker location.
Be clear eyed about the other side. At roughly AED 3,625 per square foot you are paying a premium for the smallest qualifying footprint. If you want space, the same money buys far more elsewhere. If you want the visa, this is the efficient route.
Completed since December 2024
Handover was 16 December 2024, so the building has been finished and occupied for over a year and a half.
That removes every off plan risk. You inspect the actual apartment, see the real canal or skyline outlook from that specific floor, check the finish, read the real service charge on a running building, and speak to residents about how it is managed. Rent can start when you take the keys.
It also means a resale market already exists here alongside the two remaining developer units, and in many cases the resale route offers better value than the last of the developer stock. We will show you both and tell you which is the better buy on the day.
Where it sits
Business Bay is Dubai’s central business district, immediately south of Downtown Dubai along the Dubai Water Canal, adjacent to DIFC.
Binghatti positions the building on proximity to Downtown Dubai, DIFC and the canal. For a short let investor that combination is among the strongest in the city: Business Bay has metro access, a working daytime population and genuine tourist demand from the canal promenade and Downtown.
How it compares inside Binghatti’s Business Bay range
| Building | Entry | Per sq ft | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trillionaire Residences | AED 2,022,936 studio | ~AED 3,625 | Completed Dec 2024 |
| Binghatti Skyhall | AED 1,208,000 studio | ~AED 2,849 | Q3 2026 |
| Binghatti Aquarise | AED 999,999 studio | size not published | Q1 2027 |
| Binghatti Skyrise | AED 1,050,000 studio | size not published | Q4 2026 |
Trillionaire is the most expensive per square foot of the four, and it is the only one that is finished and the only one whose entry unit clears the Golden Visa threshold. Those are the two things you are paying for.
Who this suits
Golden Visa buyers optimising capital. The smallest efficient qualifying purchase in a prime district.
Short let investors. Furnished-ready prime Business Bay stock in a completed building, lettable immediately.
Buyers who will not commit to a drawing. Everything here can be inspected.
It suits you less if you want floor area for the money. 558 square feet at AED 2 million is a deliberate trade, and Binghatti’s own Majan and JVC stock gives you two to three times the space per dirham.
Golden Visa, in practical terms
The UAE grants a ten year renewable residence visa on a property purchase of AED 2 million or more. It can extend to spouse, children and household staff under the current rules.
We set out the exact eligibility position and the application steps in writing as part of any purchase. The rules do change, and a brochure is not a legal position. On a unit that clears the threshold by AED 22,936, you also want the valuation confirmed before you commit, and we handle that.
Dubai purchase costs
The Dubai Land Department charges 4 percent of the purchase price, plus registration and trustee fees. On AED 2,022,936 the DLD fee is roughly AED 80,917. There is no annual property tax.
Business Bay is a designated freehold area, so all nationalities can own outright.

Source: Dubai Land Department open data. Registered sales of residential units between 30 June 2026 and 18 August 2026. Mortgages and gift transfers are excluded because they are not arms length sales. Sizes are converted from square metres at 10.7639 sq ft per sq m. The entry price shown for this project is our advertised starting price and is not a registered transaction. Community figures are medians across every project in the community, not this project alone. We do not publish a price per square foot for this project because advertised size ranges are not a reliable basis for that calculation.
What actually transacted in Business Bay
Before you judge a launch price, look at what the community around it registered. Over the last twelve months Business Bay recorded 19,309 registered rental contracts and 2,646 ready sales, all filed with the Dubai Land Department. These are signed contracts, not asking prices.
Rent registered at AED 119 per sqft against a ready sale price of AED 1,986 per sqft. That is a gross yield of 6.0% on ready stock in this community.
We use ready sale prices rather than blended prices deliberately. You cannot rent a home that has not been handed over, so an off plan launch price in a yield calculation produces a number that cannot happen.
Registered rents in Business Bay moved +2.3 against the twelve months before.
The shorter window disagrees. On the most recent three months of contracts the same community reads -10.4%. Summer seasonality and smaller samples both sit inside that number, but we publish it rather than quote only the figure that flatters the market.
| Unit type | Contracts registered | Average annual rent (AED) | Rent per sqft (AED) | Change vs 12 months earlier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 4,452 | 68,967 | 145 | +0.7 |
| 1 bedroom | 8,033 | 93,568 | 120 | +2.1 |
| 2 bedroom | 5,152 | 134,111 | 102 | +3.3 |
| 3 bedroom | 1,540 | 187,515 | 93 | +4.6 |
| All apartments | 19,309 | 108,453 | 119 | +2.3 |
