Common questions

What is the rental yield in Mediterranean?
Mediterranean returns 8.2% gross: a median new-contract rent of AED 63,000 a year (80 Ejari contracts in 12 months) over a price benchmark of AED 770,000 (median of 4 sales in the last 12 months, latest Oct 2026), before service charge, agency fees or vacant months.
How much does a 1 bedroom in Mediterranean cost?
The median registered sale price is AED 770,000 (926 AED/sqft), from 4 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 12 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.
How does Mediterranean compare with Dubai Sports City?
Its 8.2% gross yield sits -0.2 pts against the Dubai Sports City median of 8.4%, 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 Mediterranean?
The median new annual rent is AED 63,000, from 80 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 Mediterranean risen or fallen?
The median new annual rent changed -0.4% in the trailing 12 months against the previous 12, using 80 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.
