Highest rental yields in Downtown Dubai
The top building yields 8.92% — but the median across the 17 ranked is 6.07%, against 6.98% citywide. Treat the top rows as outliers, with the sample sizes shown beside them.
17 apartment buildings, ranked. Ranked by gross yield: median annual rent from new Ejari contracts divided by the median resale price for the same building, over the last 24 months. Buildings whose rent is pooled across a project, or whose median price is below AED 300,000, are excluded — both distort the ratio.
