What actually transacted in Sheikh Zayed Road
Before you judge a launch price, look at what the community around it registered. Over the last twelve months Sheikh Zayed Road recorded 8,062 registered rental contracts and 6 ready sales, all filed with the Dubai Land Department. These are signed contracts, not asking prices.
Rent registered at AED 84 per sqft against a ready sale price of AED 4,683 per sqft. That is a gross yield of 1.8% 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 Sheikh Zayed Road moved +4.6% against the twelve months before.
The shorter window disagrees. On the most recent three months of contracts the same community reads -4.1%. 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 | 201 | 62,427 | 132 | +8.5% |
| 1 bedroom | 1,694 | 83,009 | 105 | +3.1% |
| 2 bedroom | 3,329 | 106,167 | 81 | +4.6% |
| 3 bedroom | 2,790 | 126,630 | 71 | +4.4% |
| All apartments | 8,062 | 108,245 | 84 | +4.6% |
