What would this size cost?
Enter the size from the brochure or the floor plan. We price it against what homes of that size actually sold for in Act One | Act Two — not an asking price, and not this project’s overall typical price, which mixes every size together.

What it returns
A year of rent compared with what completed homes of that size actually sold for in Act One | Act Two over the same twelve months. Prices are this project’s own recorded ready-home sales. Off-plan sales are left out because rent is paid on built homes. Rents marked this building are new rent contracts recorded in Act One | Act Two itself. The rest are homes of the same size in Downtown Dubai, used where Ejari did not name the building.
| Size | Price now, ready homes | Rents for | Yield before costs | Ready sales, 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bed | AED 2.16M | AED 120,000/yrthis building · 93 new lets | 5.6% | 24 |
| 2 beds | AED 3.08M | AED 170,000/yrthis building · 116 new lets | 5.5% | 22 |
| 3 beds | AED 5.5M | AED 290,000/yrthis building · 34 new lets | 5.3% | 11 |
Why this is lower than yields quoted elsewhere
The usual shortcut divides today’s rent by an average price. In a market that has risen as far as Dubai’s, the average is a historical price. Worked out with the typical price across every sale on record (AED 1.6M), a 1 bed here reads 7.5% instead of 5.6%. The yield in the table above uses the AED 2.16M a completed one costs today. Every figure above uses the same twelve months, and completed homes only, on both sides.
What it returns after service charges
Starting from this building’s own owners’ association budget for 2026 — AED 19/sqft, as recorded with the Land Department. Charges have risen since then, so replace it with your own invoice if you have one. How to check it.
| Size | Charge / year | Rent after it | Yield before costs | Yield after service charge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bed | AED 13,427 | AED 106,573 | 5.6% | 4.9% |
| 2 beds | AED 21,379 | AED 148,621 | 5.5% | 4.8% |
| 3 beds | AED 32,664 | AED 257,336 | 5.3% | 4.7% |
Only the service charge is taken off.
Reserve fund: AED 3.8/sqft of the AED 18.9/sqft recorded for 2026.
Yield before costs: a year of rent as a share of the price.

Common questions about Act One | Act Two
How much does a home in Act One | Act Two cost?
Over the last twelve months, the typical price (the median: half sold for more than this, half for less) of a completed home in Act One | Act Two was AED 2.16M for a 1-bedroom (24 ready sales), AED 3.08M for a 2-bedroom (22 ready sales) and AED 5.5M for a 3-bedroom (11 ready sales). These come from sales recorded by the Dubai Land Department. They are what buyers paid, not asking prices. Only completed homes are counted: off-plan sales are left out, because they sell at a premium and are not the same purchase.
How much is rent in Act One | Act Two?
The typical rent (the median: half of the rent contracts were above this, half below) in Act One | Act Two is AED 120,000/yr for a 1-bedroom (93 new tenancies recorded in Act One | Act Two itself), AED 170,000/yr for a 2-bedroom (116 new tenancies recorded in Act One | Act Two itself) and AED 290,000/yr for a 3-bedroom (34 new tenancies recorded in Act One | Act Two itself). These rents come from the new rent contracts recorded in Ejari (Dubai's rent registration system) over the last twelve months. They are what tenants agreed to pay, not advertised asking rents. Ejari names the building on these contracts, so every figure above is a tenancy recorded in Act One | Act Two itself.
What rental yield does Act One | Act Two give?
The yield before costs on completed homes in Act One | Act Two is about 5.6% on a 1-bedroom, 5.5% on a 2-bedroom and 5.3% on a 3-bedroom. That is a year of rent divided by what completed homes of that size sold for over the same twelve months. Rent and price both come from the same period, which is why these read lower than yields quoted against an all-time average price. Service charges, agency commission and empty periods are not taken off, and in Dubai the service charge alone commonly takes a fifth to a third of the rent.
Is Act One | Act Two selling off-plan or as resales?
0% of the 57 home sales recorded in Act One | Act Two in the 12 months to 7 Oct 2026 were off-plan, and the rest were recorded as existing property rather than off-plan. That period ends at this project's own newest recorded home sale rather than today, so a development that finished selling years ago still reports the year it was actually trading.
When did Act One | Act Two start selling?
The Land Department's register holds 1,309 home sales in Act One | Act Two. The earliest was recorded in Sep 2016 and the newest in Oct 2026. That is when a home sale here was first recorded. It is not the same as when the project launched or completed: the register of sales carries no build date, so we do not publish one.

Buying in Act One | Act Two?
Everything above is free and stays free. What this page cannot tell you is what your unit is worth — the typical price here covers every size at once, and a two-bedroom can be 1,062 or 1,558 sqft. Our report matches comparable sales to one unit's size, and adds the three checks that need a person to look things up in the Land Department's own systems on the day: the agent's licence, the project's escrow, and its registered status.
