Common questions

What is the registered annual rent for a 1 bedroom in The 8?
The median new annual rent is AED 170,000, from 53 Ejari contracts in the trailing 12 months to 2026-10-12. The evidence is recorded for this building. Compare the same bedroom type; floor, view and condition can change an individual rent.
Have registered rents in The 8 risen or fallen?
The median new annual rent changed -5.6% in the trailing 12 months against the previous 12, using 53 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 The 8 pay more than sitting ones?
A new tenant pays -2.9% against a renewing one, across 45 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.
How many apartments change hands in The 8?
5 sales were registered with the Dubai Land Department in the last 12 months, alongside 53 Ejari rental contracts. Every median on this page rests on those counts.
Which metro station is closest to The 8?
Mina Seyahi, per the Dubai Land Department's own nearest-landmark fields. The nearest mall is Marina Mall.
