Source: Cresco Real Estate live listings, rebuilt 4 November 2026. These are advertised entry prices, meaning the lowest price currently quoted on each listing. Many off plan listings quote a starting price rather than a price for a specific unit, so we do not publish an advertised price per square foot from this data. For price per square foot use the registered Dubai Land Department figures above, which come from completed sales.
Living in Dubai Science Park
Dubai Science Park is a member of TECOM Group and a free zone for the science, health and pharma value chain. It was formed in 2015 when TECOM merged DuBiotech, set up in 2005, and EnPark, set up in 2007, as The National reported at the time.
Dubai Science Park says it hosts more than 90 laboratories and more than 6,500 professionals. Its residential area includes Montrose Residence and Villa Lantana, and its retail sits in Barsha South.
Getting around
There is no metro station inside Dubai Science Park. Binghatti, which builds here, gives Mall of the Emirates as the nearest metro station and quotes about 24 minutes to Dubai International Airport and to The Dubai Mall. Those are the developer’s figures, so check them at your own travel times.
Schools, healthcare and shopping
Dubai Science Park lists Repton, Kings’ School Al Barsha and GEMS schools nearby. Repton Al Barsha is in Al Barsha South and teaches the British curriculum with IGCSE and A Levels for ages 3 to 18. For healthcare it lists Mediclinic Parkview, Medcare Medical Centre and Emirates Hospital. For shopping it lists My City Centre Al Barsha, with Mall of the Emirates nearby.

Prices, rents and yield
Twelve month figures from Dubai Land Department registered transactions as published on Bayut TruView, checked 24 October 2026. The change compares them with the twelve months before.
| Last 12 months | Figure | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Sales registered | 2,842 | -38% |
| Average sale price | AED 1,302,000 | +5.2% |
| Average price per sq ft | AED 1,776 | +7.6% |
| Rental contracts registered | 1,671 | +61% |
| Average annual rent | AED 102,893 | -6.1% |
| Average rent per sq ft | AED 94 | +8.2% |
Dividing the average rent per sq ft by the average sale price per sq ft gives a rough gross yield of about 5.3%. Treat it as a guide only, because the sale average includes off plan units that are not yet rented.
The busiest projects by sales were Skyhills Astra (829), Binghatti Hillviews (479), Binghatti Hills (355), Binghatti Hillside (296) and SAAS Hills (227). The busiest rental buildings were Opalz by Danube (429 contracts), Bella Rose (314), Marriott Residences Al Barsha South (213) and Montrose Residences (193).
