Common questions

What is the rental yield in Forte T1?
Forte T1 returns 5.7% gross: a median new-contract rent of AED 170,000 a year (135 Ejari contracts in 12 months) over a price benchmark of AED 2.98M (median of 24 sales in the last 12 months, latest Oct 2026), before service charge, agency fees or vacant months.
How much does a 2 bedroom in Forte T1 cost?
The median registered sale price is AED 2.98M (2,772 AED/sqft), from 24 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 12 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.
What are apartments in Forte T1 selling for right now?
Registered sales of ready units in Forte T1 over the last 12 months have a median of 2,772 AED/sqft, across 24 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 Forte T1 risen or fallen?
Median price per square foot moved +2.4% over the last 12 months against the 12 before it, on 24 sales with a price per square foot. On a sample this size, read the direction rather than the exact figure.
How does Forte T1 compare with Downtown Dubai?
Its 5.7% gross yield sits +0.2 pts against the Downtown Dubai median of 5.5%, 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.
