Common questions
- What is the rental yield in Armada 1?
- No gross yield is published for Armada 1 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 22 new Ejari contracts; a published yield needs at least 5 new contracts and 3 sales. The Jumeirah Lake Towers median is 7.4% gross.
- How much does a studio in Armada 1 cost?
- The median registered sale price is AED 699,000 (1,455 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 studio in Armada 1?
- The median new annual rent is AED 55,000, from 22 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 Armada 1 risen or fallen?
- The median new annual rent changed -8.3% in the trailing 12 months against the previous 12, using 22 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 Armada 1 pay more than sitting ones?
- A new tenant pays -8.7% against a renewing one, across 26 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.
