Common questions
- What is the rental yield in Kempinski Residences?
- Kempinski Residences returns 5.8% gross: a median new-contract rent of AED 272,500 a year (14 Ejari contracts in 12 months) over a price benchmark of AED 4.70M (median of 11 sales in the last 12 months, latest Jul 2026), before service charge, agency fees or vacant months.
- How much does a 2 bedroom in Kempinski Residences cost?
- The median registered sale price is AED 4.70M (2,178 AED/sqft), from 11 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 12 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.
- What are apartments in Kempinski Residences selling for right now?
- Registered sales of ready units in Kempinski Residences over the last 12 months have a median of 2,178 AED/sqft, across 11 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.
- Have prices in Kempinski Residences risen or fallen?
- Median price per square foot moved -13.0% over the last 12 months against the 12 before it, on 11 sales with a price per square foot. On a sample this size, read the direction rather than the exact figure.
- How does Kempinski Residences compare with Palm Jumeirah?
- Its 5.8% gross yield sits +0.9 pts against the Palm Jumeirah median of 4.9%, 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.
