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 We do not publish a price per square foot for this project because advertised size ranges are not a reliable basis for that calculation.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 Town Square
Before you judge a launch price, look at what the community around it registered. Over the last twelve months Town Square recorded 4,613 registered rental contracts and 796 ready sales, all filed with the Dubai Land Department. These are signed contracts, not asking prices.
Rent registered at AED 94 per sqft against a ready sale price of AED 1,354 per sqft. That is a gross yield of 6.9% 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 Town Square moved +8.5 against the twelve months before.
The shorter window disagrees. On the most recent three months of contracts the same community reads -0.8%. 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 | 360 | 42,663 | 125 | +10.7 |
| 1 bedroom | 1,963 | 57,534 | 99 | +8.4 |
| 2 bedroom | 1,903 | 85,207 | 85 | +11.9 |
| 3 bedroom | 384 | 118,503 | 78 | +8.9 |
| All apartments | 4,613 | 72,927 | 94 | +8.5 |
