This record covers the 91 Business Bay buildings with enough registered Ejari contracts for a median to mean anything; 2 more have recorded activity but too little to report. Gross yields inside the area run from 1.10% to 15.44%, so the 7.30% median says much less about any one building than the table below does. The Dubai median for comparison is 6.98%, over the same 24-month window of Dubai Land Department and Ejari records to 2026-08-26.
