Price per sqft: Median of 42 registered sales of ready units in the last 12 months, most recent September 2026.

Short-term yield is modelled: net revenue at 80% occupancy ÷ the same price benchmark. Occupancy is an assumption, not a measurement; the dial in the short-term section changes it.

Skyz by Danube is an apartment building in Arjan, Dubai, one of the towers in the SKYZ By Danube development. The closest metro station is Sharaf Dg Metro Station, the nearest mall Mall of the Emirates and the nearest landmark Motor City. Land Department records from 2022 to 2026 contain 1,064 registered sales across all bedroom types. Current sale figures use the last 12 months; rental medians use new Ejari contracts from the same period.

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

How these yields are computed
Gross yield divides the median annual rent from new registered Ejari contracts starting in the last 12 months by the median price of the building's registered sales in the last 12 months (at least 3 sales) for the same bedroom type, with ready and off-plan sales counted alike. Each bedroom type is priced off its own sales; the columns beside each yield show both legs and the sales the benchmark rests on.

Short-term rates around Skyz by Danube

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

How short-term 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”.
80%

80% is the published assumption. Move the dial to model a different occupancy; the site's own figures keep 80%.

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, 0.79 AED/night/sqft; latest Sep 2027, 0.58 AED/night/sqft; peak Jan 2027, 1.28 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.

Common questions

What is the rental yield in Skyz by Danube?
Skyz by Danube returns 8.28% gross: a median new-contract rent of AED 48,000 a year (281 Ejari contracts in 12 months) over a price benchmark of AED 580,000 (median of 47 sales in the last 12 months, latest Sept 2026), before service charge, agency fees or vacant months.
How much does a studio in Skyz by Danube cost?
The median registered sale price is AED 580,000 (1,621 AED/sqft), from 47 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 12 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.
What are apartments in Skyz by Danube selling for right now?
Registered sales of ready units in Skyz by Danube over the last 12 months have a median of 1,622 AED/sqft, across 42 sales. That uses the same trailing year as the rent and yield figures, requires at least five sales, and excludes off-plan. It is a median of what traded, not a valuation of a specific unit — floor, view and condition all move a real price and none of them is in it.
Have prices in Skyz by Danube risen or fallen?
Median price per square foot moved +11.1% over the last 12 months against the 12 before it, on 47 registered sales. On a sample this size, read the direction rather than the exact figure.
What is the registered annual rent for a studio in Skyz by Danube?
The median new annual rent is AED 48,000, from 281 Ejari contracts in the trailing 12 months to 2026-09-11. The evidence is recorded for this building. Compare the same bedroom type; floor, view and condition can change an individual rent.

Source: Dubai Land Department open data — sale transactions and Ejari rental contracts. Data to 2026-09-11, refreshed 2026-09-16. Short-term rates are collected separately from public Airbnb search results.

Gross yield divides the median annual rent from new registered Ejari contracts starting in the last 12 months by the median price of the building's registered sales in the last 12 months (at least 3 sales) for the same bedroom type, with ready and off-plan sales counted alike. Each yield states its price benchmark and evidence count beside it. Short-term yields are modelled at an assumed 80% occupancy over the same benchmark.

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.
