The office market equation

The numerator and denominator are visible because a yield without its evidence is just a claim.

What the evidence does not say

The boundary is part of the record.

No live availability

Registered stock is a DLD census, not a claim that a unit is for sale or lease.

No official occupancy

Leasing activity is observed through Ejari contracts. It is not building occupancy.

No warehouse yield

Warehouse leasing evidence is strong, but the directly comparable sale denominator is not.

Sources and dates

Each source keeps its own edition date. Price, rent and yield use the same trailing 12 months ending on the snapshot date.
