The DD Stand Point towers

- BD Standpoint A returns 5.8% gross: a median new-contract rent of AED 105,000 a year (105 Ejari contracts in 12 months) over a price benchmark of AED 1.82M (median of 10 sales in the last 12 months, latest Oct 2026), before service charge, agency fees or vacant months.
- How much does a 1 bedroom in BD Standpoint A cost?
- The median registered sale price is AED 1.82M (2,129 AED/sqft), from 10 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 12 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.
- What are apartments in BD Standpoint A selling for right now?
- Registered sales of ready units in BD Standpoint A over the last 12 months have a median of 2,129 AED/sqft, across 10 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.
- Have prices in BD Standpoint A risen or fallen?
- Median price per square foot moved -8.3% over the last 12 months against the 12 before it, on 10 sales with a price per square foot. On a sample this size, read the direction rather than the exact figure.
- How does BD Standpoint A compare with Downtown Dubai?
- Its 5.8% gross yield sits +0.2 pts against the Downtown Dubai median of 5.5%, computed the same way at the same bedroom grain.
