The change is what a buyer at each median would be up or down at today’s median. A shift in the unit mix can move a median without any unit changing price.

Rank 1 is the dearest per square foot. Differences are against Emerald (AED 3,048/sqft); yields need a publishable price and are blank where the recorded prices are share transfers.

At 1 bed, Emerald has registered sale prices 8% above the Palm Jumeirah median price per square foot of 2,802 AED, across 27 eligible buildings. It ranks 10th of 27 by price per square foot and 13th of 16 by gross yield in Palm Jumeirah.

Common questions

What is the rental yield in Emerald?
Emerald returns 4.3% gross: a median new-contract rent of AED 170,000 a year (45 Ejari contracts in 12 months) over a price benchmark of AED 3.92M (median of 4 sales in the last 12 months, latest May 2026), before service charge, agency fees or vacant months.
How much does a 1 bedroom in Emerald cost?
The median registered sale price is AED 3.92M (3,029 AED/sqft), from 4 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 12 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.
How does Emerald compare with Palm Jumeirah?
Its 4.3% gross yield sits -0.9 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 Emerald?
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 Emerald 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.
