Medians of registered sales and new Ejari leases in the 12 months to 12 Oct 2026, pooled across each development’s towers. A median needs 3 rows; a dash with a count means fewer.

Medians across buildings with sales in the 12 months to 12 Oct 2026 · rent is the typical building’s registered annual rent

This record covers the 65 Motor City buildings with enough registered sales for a median to mean anything; 1 more has recorded activity but too little to report. Gross yields inside the area run from 5.3% to 9.0%, so the 6.5% median says much less about any one building than the building table does. The Dubai Land Department registers Motor City as Al Hebiah First. The Dubai median for comparison is 6.8%, over the same 12-month window of Dubai Land Department and Ejari records to 2026-10-12.
