The Badra Phase 1 towers

Ejari files Badra Phase 1’s leases under the project, not a tower, so 4 towers 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 Manara 6?
- Manara 6 returns 7.8% gross: a median new-contract rent of AED 45,121 a year (43 Ejari contracts in 12 months) over a price benchmark of AED 580,000 (median of 3 sales in the last 12 months, latest Oct 2026), before service charge, agency fees or vacant months.
- How much does a 1 bedroom in Manara 6 cost?
- The median registered sale price is AED 580,000 (799 AED/sqft), from 3 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 1 bedroom in Manara 6?
- The median new annual rent is AED 45,121, from 43 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 Manara 6 risen or fallen?
- The median new annual rent changed +2.5% in the trailing 12 months against the previous 12, using 43 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 Manara 6 pay more than sitting ones?
- A new tenant pays +14.2% against a renewing one, across 105 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.
