The The Cove towers

Ejari files The Cove’s leases under the project, not a tower, so every tower share one rent: the project figure above, counted once. Prices are each tower’s own registered sales.

Common questions
- What is the rental yield in THE COVE Building 3?
- No gross yield is published for THE COVE Building 3 as of 2026-10-12: its Ejari contracts are registered at project level, not for this tower. In the last 12 months it had 2 registered sales and 42 new Ejari contracts; a published yield needs at least 5 new contracts and 3 sales. The Dubai Creek Harbour median is 5.4% gross.
- How much does a 2 bedroom in THE COVE Building 3 cost?
- The median registered sale price is AED 2.88M (2,173 AED/sqft), from 2 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 12 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.
- What is the registered annual rent for a 2 bedroom in THE COVE Building 3?
- The median new annual rent is AED 165,000, from 42 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.
- Have registered rents in THE COVE Building 3 risen or fallen?
- The median new annual rent changed -2.9% in the trailing 12 months against the previous 12, using 42 new Ejari contracts in the current period to 2026-10-12. Different homes can appear in the two periods; this is not the change on an individual tenancy.
- Do new tenants in THE COVE Building 3 pay more than sitting ones?
- A new tenant pays +6.7% against a renewing one, across 22 renewal contracts in the last 12 months. This compares different new and renewal contract groups, not the same tenancy before and after a move. It is not a permitted rent increase or a guaranteed gain.
