Jabal Ali First, year by year
How prices, sales, rents and yield have moved here, each year against the one before.
The median price per square foot rose to AED 836 / sq ft in Q2 2022, up 35% on the same quarter a year earlier.
What this means for you: rising prices with steady yield suggest rents are keeping pace; prices rising faster than rents mean yield is thinning. Past movement is a record, not a forecast.
