Deltas compare each yield with the Nad Al Sheba Gardens 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.

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.
