Common questions

What is the rental yield in Hercules Tower?
Hercules Tower returns 9.1% gross: a median new-contract rent of AED 64,000 a year (7 Ejari contracts in 12 months) over a price benchmark of AED 705,000 (median of 5 sales in the last 12 months, latest May 2026), before service charge, agency fees or vacant months.
How much does a 1 bedroom in Hercules Tower cost?
The median registered sale price is AED 705,000 (822 AED/sqft), from 5 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 12 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.
What are apartments in Hercules Tower selling for right now?
Registered sales of ready units in Hercules Tower over the last 12 months have a median of 822 AED/sqft, across 5 sales. That uses the same trailing year as the rent and yield figures, requires at least five sales, and excludes off-plan. Floor, view and condition move a specific unit's price around it.
How does Hercules Tower compare with Living Legends?
Its 9.1% gross yield sits +2.2 pts against the Living Legends median of 6.9%, 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 Hercules Tower?
The median new annual rent is AED 64,000, from 7 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.
