Citywide gross yields run ~5.5% in Dubai and ~5.8% in Abu Dhabi in mid-2026, but affordable apartment districts clear 7–10% gross (International City, Al Furjan, Arjan; Al Reef, Masdar City), while prime waterfront runs 4–5% and compensates through capital growth.
The number that matters is net: gross yield minus service charges (typically AED 10–30/sqft/year on Dubai apartments), management and realistic voids. That’s routinely 1–2 points below the advertised figure, which is why we underwrite every recommendation on registered rents and the building’s actual service-charge schedule, not the brochure.
