Biggest turnover upside in Downtown Dubai
In the #1 building a new tenant pays +42.9% more than a sitting one; the median gap across the 16 listed is -0.5%, vs +5.3% citywide.
16 apartment buildings, ranked. Ranked by the gap between what a new tenant pays and what a sitting tenant pays in the same building, over the last 24 months. Renewal rents are capped by RERA and sit below market, so a wide gap means rent that is below market until the unit changes hands. Both sides need at least 5 contracts, and buildings whose rent is pooled across a project, or whose median price is below AED 300,000, are excluded.
