How these are counted

459 apartments are planned in International City from 2026 to 2028, equal to 2% of the 24,476 homes let there today.

Ready prices per sqft fell in 5% of 39 buildings (counted once per bedroom type) in International City with sales in both years; the typical one moved +7.3%.

The pooled median moved +4.3%: 3.0 points less than the typical building, because different buildings traded in each year.

New-lease rents fell in 8% of 26 buildings (counted once per bedroom type) with leases in both years; the typical one moved +3.6%.

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.

Sales and leases to 12 Oct 2026. Neither figure is a forecast, a vacancy rate or a price index. Methodology

About the International City figures

This record covers the 21 International City buildings with enough registered Ejari contracts for a median to mean anything. Gross yields inside the area run from 5.0% to 10.7%, so the 6.7% median says much less about any one building than the building table does. The Dubai Land Department registers International City as Al Warsan First. The Dubai median for comparison is 6.3%, over the same 12-month window of Dubai Land Department and Ejari records to 2026-10-12.
