How much does a 1 bedroom in Bluewaters Residences 3 cost?
The median registered sale price is AED 5.50M (4,873 AED/sqft), from 7 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 12 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.
What are apartments in Bluewaters Residences 3 selling for right now?
Registered sales of ready units in Bluewaters Residences 3 over the last 12 months have a median of 4,873 AED/sqft, across 7 sales. That uses the same trailing year as the rent and yield figures, requires at least five sales, and excludes off-plan. Floor, view and condition move a specific unit's price around it.
How does Bluewaters Residences 3 compare with Bluewaters Island?
Its 5.1% gross yield sits -0.5 pts against the Bluewaters Island median of 5.6%, computed the same way at the same bedroom grain. 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.
What is the registered annual rent for a 1 bedroom in Bluewaters Residences 3?
The median new annual rent is AED 280,000, from 47 Ejari contracts in the trailing 12 months to 2026-10-12. These contracts cover the project, not this tower alone. Compare the same bedroom type; floor, view and condition can change an individual rent.
