Deltas compare each yield with the Business Bay median for the same unit type. How these yields are computed

How these yields are computed
Each yield divides the median rent by the median of the last 3 months of sales — or of the last 5 sales where the last 3 months hold fewer than three. Off-plan and ready sales count alike, and each bedroom type is priced off its own sales.

Short-let rates around Zada Tower

Median nightly rate on Airbnb for a 7-night stay, priced across the coming year.

How short-let rates are measured
Rates are sampled for every month of the coming year, so the figure carries the full season rather than a winter or summer slice. Listing counts are what those searches returned on the first page — a floor on what the building actually lists, not a count of it. Airbnb publishes approximate coordinates, so even the tightest set — listings within 50 metres — is the building and its immediate neighbours. Where that set is too small to measure a bedroom type, the row widens to the surrounding 500-metre cluster and is marked “500m”.

Nightly rate per sqft through the year

Median nightly rate per sqft by month of stay. Smaller, fainter points rest on fewer listings. Per-sqft puts different bedroom types on the same axis.

1 bed: first Oct 2026, 1.02 AED/night/sqft; latest Sep 2027, 0.92 AED/night/sqft; peak Jan 2027, 2.09 AED/night/sqft.

Net revenue assumes 80% occupancy — an assumption, not a measurement.

What the net revenue deducts
Occupancy is an assumption because no Dubai source publishes it per building — at half the occupancy, halve the revenue and the yield. From the nightly rate a guest sees, net revenue deducts Airbnb's 15.5% fee, then cleaning at 2 turnovers a month and utilities, both scaled to the unit's measured floor area. Service charge and mortgage are deliberately not deducted: neither comes out of the long-let rent beside it, and a service charge is owed whichever way the unit is let, so taking it off one side only would break the comparison. Neither figure is net of income tax or furnishing.

How much does a 1 bedroom in Zada Tower cost?
The median registered sale price is AED 1.00M (2,106 AED/sqft), from 157 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 24 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.

Have prices in Zada Tower risen or fallen?
Median price per square foot moved +3.6% over the last 12 months against the 12 before it, on 157 registered sales. On a sample this size, read the direction rather than the exact figure.
How does Zada Tower compare with Business Bay?
Its 8.52% gross yield sits +1.4 pts against the Business Bay median of 7.14%, computed at the same bedroom grain over the same 24-month window.

Where this data stops

Service charges are not in DLD's open data, so the yield above is gross. Net return needs this building's charge per sqft.
