How these are counted

2,685 apartments are planned in Dubai Marina from 2026 to 2028, equal to 19% of the 14,287 homes let there today.

Ready prices per sqft fell in 37% of 122 buildings (counted once per bedroom type) in Dubai Marina with sales in both years; the typical one moved +2.4%.

The pooled median moved +14.7%: 12.4 points more than the typical building, because different buildings traded in each year.

New-lease rents fell in 88% of 84 buildings (counted once per bedroom type) with leases in both years; the typical one moved −8.3%.

Planned completions are apartment units in projects the Land Department register lists as neither complete nor cancelled, by the year of the registered completion date. Projects already past that date and projects without one are counted separately, not spread over future years. Leases are every registered new and renewed apartment lease in the area in the last 12 months. A planned date is not a delivery forecast.

Each building counts once per bedroom type when it has at least five ready sales (or five new leases) in both the last 12 months and the 12 before. Its change is its own median price per sqft (or annual rent) now against then, so the mix of buildings that happened to trade cannot move it. Off-plan sales are left out.

About the Dubai Marina figures

This record covers the 87 Dubai Marina buildings with enough registered Ejari contracts for a median to mean anything, of which 58 sit directly in Dubai Marina and the rest inside the districts listed below. Gross yields inside the area run from 4.3% to 7.2%, so the 5.6% median says much less about any one building than the building table does. The Dubai Land Department registers Dubai Marina as Marsa Dubai. The Dubai median for comparison is 7.0%, over the same 12-month window of Dubai Land Department and Ejari records to 2026-10-12.
