How these are counted

11,591 apartments are planned in Business Bay from 2026 to 2028, equal to 64% of the 18,176 homes let there today.

Ready prices per sqft fell in 50% of 131 buildings (counted once per bedroom type) in Business Bay with sales in both years; the typical one moved −0.1%.

The pooled median moved +5.4%: 5.5 points more than the typical building, because different buildings traded in each year.

New-lease rents fell in 79% of 124 buildings (counted once per bedroom type) with leases in both years; the typical one moved −5.6%.

Planned completions are apartment units in projects the Land Department register lists as neither complete nor cancelled, by the year of the registered completion date. Projects already past that date and projects without one are counted separately, not spread over future years. Leases are every registered new and renewed apartment lease in the area in the last 12 months. A planned date is not a delivery forecast.

Each building counts once per bedroom type when it has at least five ready sales (or five new leases) in both the last 12 months and the 12 before. Its change is its own median price per sqft (or annual rent) now against then, so the mix of buildings that happened to trade cannot move it. Off-plan sales are left out.

Sales and leases to 12 Oct 2026. Neither figure is a forecast, a vacancy rate or a price index. Methodology

About the Business Bay figures

This record covers the 49 Business Bay buildings with enough registered sales for a median to mean anything; 6 more have recorded activity but too little to report. Gross yields inside the area run from 3.0% to 7.9%, so the 6.5% median says much less about any one building than the building table does. The Dubai median for comparison is 5.6%, over the same 12-month window of Dubai Land Department and Ejari records to 2026-10-12.

Common questions

What is the rental yield for 3 bedroom apartments in Business Bay?: As of 2026-10-12, the median apartment building in Business Bay returns 6.5% gross on 3 bedroom apartments, +0.9 pts against the Dubai median of 5.6%, across 49 buildings with enough registered Dubai Land Department sales and Ejari contracts to report (362 registered sales in the last 12 months). Gross means before service charge, fees and vacancy.
What does an apartment in Business Bay cost per square foot?: The median is 2,403 AED/sqft, over registered Dubai Land Department and Ejari records to 2026-10-12.
Are prices in Business Bay rising?: The median building moved +10.1% over the last 12 months against the 12 before it. That is a median across 49 buildings, so individual towers move further in both directions.
Which building in Business Bay yields most?: Peninsula One, at 7.9% gross. A top row is an outlier by construction — the sample size beside it on the table is the check.
How many buildings in Business Bay does this record cover?: 49. A building appears once it has enough registered sales and contracts for a median to mean anything; the rest are listed but not ranked. Data to 2026-10-12.
