Method and limits
Tower count, home count and design detail come from Arada. The sales come from the Dubai Land Department monthly transaction register for August 2026, filtered to the project name W Residences at Dubai Harbour. Only two sales were registered that month, so no median or trend can be calculated. Price per square foot uses the registered area converted at 10.7639 square feet per square metre. Arada has not published a starting price for the current release, so we do not state one.

What actually transacted in Dubai Harbour
Before you judge a launch price, look at what the community around it registered. Over the last twelve months Dubai Harbour recorded 1,470 registered rental contracts and 299 ready sales, all filed with the Dubai Land Department. These are signed contracts, not asking prices.
Rent registered at AED 178 per sqft against a ready sale price of AED 3,480 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 Dubai Harbour moved -8.8% against the twelve months before.
The shorter window disagrees. On the most recent three months of contracts the same community reads -11%. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bedroom | 683 | 136,728 | 173 | -8.5% |
| 2 bedroom | 604 | 223,710 | 177 | -7.5% |
| 3 bedroom | 171 | 391,841 | 199 | -8.4% |
| All apartments | 1,470 | 206,072 | 178 | -8.8% |
