INAURA is a hotel and branded residence tower by Arada in Downtown Dubai. Arada lists homes from AED 3,599,000 for a Lumen Series one bedroom. The tower combines an Arada hotel with private residential floors above it, so owners get hotel grade service with their own amenity levels.
Three sales at INAURA were registered with the Dubai Land Department in August 2026. We publish them below. Those are recorded prices, not asking prices.

Who INAURA suits
Buyers who want a Downtown address with hotel services attached, and investors who want a branded product in the most searched district in Dubai. One bedroom homes start near AED 3.6 million, so this is not an entry level building.
Method and limits
Prices, payment plan and amenity detail come from Arada. The registered sales come from the Dubai Land Department monthly transaction register for August 2026, filtered to the project name INAURA Hotels and Residences. Only three sales were registered in that month, so no median or trend can be calculated yet. Price per square foot uses the registered area converted at 10.7639 square feet per square metre. We do not publish escrow account numbers.

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 We do not publish a price per square foot for this project because advertised size ranges are not a reliable basis for that calculation.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 Downtown Dubai
Before you judge a launch price, look at what the community around it registered. Over the last twelve months Downtown Dubai recorded 10,079 registered rental contracts and 1,495 ready sales, all filed with the Dubai Land Department. These are signed contracts, not asking prices.
Rent registered at AED 141 per sqft against a ready sale price of AED 2,758 per sqft. That is a gross yield of 5.1% 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 Downtown Dubai moved +3.1 against the twelve months before.
The shorter window disagrees. On the most recent three months of contracts the same community reads -9.9%. 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 | 636 | 77,982 | 151 | n/a |
| 1 bedroom | 4,391 | 117,795 | 135 | n/a |
| 2 bedroom | 3,782 | 193,414 | 142 | +0.4 |
| 3 bedroom | 1,191 | 295,134 | 151 | +1.9 |
| All apartments | 10,079 | 174,328 | 141 | +3.1 |
