How these are countedDirect locality, all apartment bedroom types. Area context is not building performance. Planned dates are relative to the register date, not a delivery forecast; project unit counts can include mixed uses. Sales activity is not time on market or occupancy.
The Tiara Residence towers
6 towers in Tiara Residence, at the bedroom type above.
Ejari files Tiara Residence’s leases under the project, not a tower, so 5 towers share one rent: the project figure above, counted once. Prices are each tower’s own registered sales.

Medians of registered sales and new Ejari leases in the 12 months to 12 Oct 2026, pooled across each development’s towers at 1 bed. A median needs 3 rows; a dash with a count means fewer. Developments sharing a name are grouped under it; DLD itself records no such parent.

Common questions
- What is the rental yield in Aquamarine?
- Aquamarine returns 4.2% gross: a median new-contract rent of AED 170,000 a year (45 Ejari contracts in 12 months) over a price benchmark of AED 4.05M (median of 3 sales in the last 12 months, latest Mar 2026), before service charge, agency fees or vacant months.
- How much does a 1 bedroom in Aquamarine cost?
- The median registered sale price is AED 4.05M (3,125 AED/sqft), from 3 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 12 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.
- How does Aquamarine compare with Palm Jumeirah?
- Its 4.2% gross yield sits -1.0 pts against the Palm Jumeirah median of 5.2%, 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 Aquamarine?
- The median new annual rent is AED 170,000, from 45 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 Aquamarine risen or fallen?
- The median new annual rent changed -4.2% in the trailing 12 months against the previous 12, using 45 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.
