Common questions

The median new annual rent is AED 87,000, from 43 Ejari contracts in the trailing 12 months to 2026-10-12. These contracts cover the project, not this tower alone. Compare the same bedroom type; floor, view and condition can change an individual rent.
Have registered rents in U-Bora Tower 1 risen or fallen?
The median new annual rent changed -3.3% in the trailing 12 months against the previous 12, using 43 new Ejari contracts in the current period to 2026-10-12. Different homes can appear in the two periods; this is not the change on an individual tenancy.
Do new tenants in U-Bora Tower 1 pay more than sitting ones?
A new tenant pays +3.6% against a renewing one, across 22 renewal contracts in the last 12 months. This compares different new and renewal contract groups, not the same tenancy before and after a move. It is not a permitted rent increase or a guaranteed gain.
