Business Bay: common questions

What is the average price per square foot in Business Bay?+

Over the last 12 months the median registered sale price in Business Bay was 2,477 AED per square foot, across 6,411 registered sales. That is the median of completed transactions registered with the Dubai Land Department, not asking prices, so it reflects what buyers actually paid.

What is the rental yield in Business Bay?+

Business Bay shows a gross rental yield of about 4.5%, calculated from 35,868 registered Ejari rent contracts set against registered sale prices for the same area. That figure is gross, so service charges, management fees and any vacancy still come out of it, commonly one to two percentage points.

How much is rent in Business Bay?+

The median registered annual rent in Business Bay is AED 95,000. By unit type the medians are: Studio AED 70,000, 1 Bedroom AED 90,000, 2 Bedroom AED 125,000, 3 Bedroom AED 165,000. These come from registered Ejari tenancy contracts, the official record, rather than advertised asking rents.

Is Business Bay mostly off-plan or ready property?+

Off-plan made up about 61.3% of registered sales in Business Bay over the last 12 months, with the remaining 38.7% being ready property. A high off-plan share usually means active new launches and staged payment plans, and it also means more supply arriving later, which is worth weighing if you are buying to rent out.

Is Business Bay a good place to invest?+

We do not give investment advice and we will not guess. What the registered record shows for Business Bay is 6,411 registered sales in the last 12 months out of 66,707 on file, at a median of 2,477 AED per square foot, with a gross yield of roughly 4.5%. Transaction volume matters as much as price, because it tells you how easily you could sell again. Compare those figures against other communities, and check the service charge for the specific building, since it comes straight off your yield.

How do I check what a specific property in Business Bay sold for?+
