Average price per square foot: AED 2,758

About Downtown Dubai
Downtown Dubai is a resale market, not a launch market. You are mostly buying from an owner rather than a developer, so there is a real price history behind every unit. Two bedroom homes make up the largest share of what sells here, so if you want something else expect thinner choice and be ready to move quickly. The register names Burj Khalifa Dubai Mall Metro Station as the nearest station on most of these sales.
Method. Dubai Land Department registered transactions, rolling twelve months to September 2026. Residential units only. These figures come from our own market index and update when the index updates, so this page does not go stale.
Downtown Dubai 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 Downtown Dubai over the last twelve months.
10,079 rental contracts registered, at an average of AED 174,328 a year, which is AED 141 per square foot. On the sale side, 1,495 ready homes changed hands at an average of AED 4,177,000, or AED 2,758 per square foot.
That puts the gross yield on ready stock in Downtown Dubai at 5.1%. 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 +3.1% against the twelve months before.
Check the shorter window before you commit. On the most recent three months of contracts the same community reads -9.9%. 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.
