Business Bay by the register, not by the brochure
Anyone can tell you a community is popular. Here is what was actually filed with the Dubai Land Department in Business Bay over the last twelve months.
19,309 rental contracts registered, at an average of AED 108,453 a year, which is AED 119 per square foot. On the sale side, 2,646 ready homes changed hands at an average of AED 2,140,000, or AED 1,986 per square foot.
That puts the gross yield on ready stock in Business Bay at 6.0%. We divide registered rent by ready sale price, never by an off plan launch price, because you cannot rent a home that has not been handed over.
Registered rents moved +2.3% against the twelve months before.
Check the shorter window before you commit. On the most recent three months of contracts the same community reads -10.4%. Summer seasonality and a smaller sample both sit inside that figure, and we publish it rather than quote only the number that flatters the market.
