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 18 Zabeel buildings with enough registered sales for a median to mean anything, of which 10 sit directly in Zabeel and the rest inside the districts listed below. Gross yields inside the area run from 5.1% to 6.5%, so the 5.6% median says much less about any one building than the building table does. The Dubai Land Department registers Zabeel as Zaabeel First and Zaabeel Second. 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.
