- How much does a 1 bedroom in SUNRISE BAY Tower 1 cost?
- The median registered sale price is AED 2.29M (2,898 AED/sqft), from 8 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 12 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.
- What are apartments in SUNRISE BAY Tower 1 selling for right now?
- Registered sales of ready units in SUNRISE BAY Tower 1 over the last 12 months have a median of 2,898 AED/sqft, across 8 sales.

- How does SUNRISE BAY Tower 1 compare with Dubai Harbour?
- Its 5.5% gross yield sits +0.3 pts against the Dubai Harbour median of 5.2%, computed the same way at the same bedroom grain.

- What is the registered annual rent for a 1 bedroom in SUNRISE BAY Tower 1?
- The median new annual rent is AED 125,000, from 68 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.
