What is the rental yield in Ruby?

No gross yield is published for Ruby as of 2026-10-12: its Ejari contracts are registered at project level, not for this tower. In the last 12 months it had 2 registered sales and 45 new Ejari contracts; a published yield needs at least 5 new contracts and 3 sales. The Palm Jumeirah median is 5.2% gross.

How much does a 1 bedroom in Ruby cost?

The median registered sale price is AED 3.64M (2,811 AED/sqft), from 2 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 12 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.

What is the registered annual rent for a 1 bedroom in Ruby?

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 Ruby 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.

Do new tenants in Ruby pay more than sitting ones?

A new tenant pays +11.4% against a renewing one, across 80 renewal contracts in the last 12 months. This compares different new and renewal contract groups, not the same tenancy before and after a move. It is not a permitted rent increase or a guaranteed gain.

Common questions

What is the rental yield in Ruby?: No gross yield is published for Ruby as of 2026-10-12: its Ejari contracts are registered at project level, not for this tower. In the last 12 months it had 2 registered sales and 45 new Ejari contracts; a published yield needs at least 5 new contracts and 3 sales. The Palm Jumeirah median is 5.2% gross.
How much does a 1 bedroom in Ruby cost?: The median registered sale price is AED 3.64M (2,811 AED/sqft), from 2 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 12 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.
What is the registered annual rent for a 1 bedroom in Ruby?: 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 Ruby 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.
Do new tenants in Ruby pay more than sitting ones?: A new tenant pays +11.4% against a renewing one, across 80 renewal contracts in the last 12 months. This compares different new and renewal contract groups, not the same tenancy before and after a move. It is not a permitted rent increase or a guaranteed gain.
