Medians of deals over 12 months (October 2025 — September 2026); gross yield is calculated by datadubai.ae as median Ejari rent over the median price of ready homes of this type (off-plan excluded), so it cannot be derived from the all-deals median in the table; before costs, not guaranteed (methodology: datadubai.ae/methodology/, checked 12 Nov 2026).

Gross yields for apartments in Business Bay from DLD open data (datadubai.ae calculation) for the last 12 months (median Ejari rent over the median price of ready homes of the same type, off-plan excluded): studios 6.4%, one-beds 5.9%, two-beds 5.7%. That is before service charges, vacancy and management; a specific apartment will differ and nothing is guaranteed.
Off-plan is cheaper to enter and comes with a developer payment plan (instalments, not a loan), but earns rent only after handover. A ready apartment can be let straight away. Off-plan made up 52% of Business Bay sales over the last 12 months, from DLD open data (datadubai.ae calculation).
