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 Shams Townhouses — 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 Shams Townhouses 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 Shams Townhouses itself. The rest are homes of the same size in Town Square, used where Ejari did not name the building. A red (i) marks a figure that rests on few records, with how many.
| Size | Price now, ready homes | Rents for | Yield before costs | Ready sales, 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 beds | AED 2.86M | AED 155,000/yrthis building · 58 new lets | 5.4% | 10 |
| 4 beds | AED 3.63M | AED 190,000/yrthis building · 19 new lets | 5.2% | 4 |
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 1.78M), a 3 beds here reads 8.7% instead of 5.4%. The yield in the table above uses the AED 2.86M 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 the typical owners’ association budget in this area — AED 5/sqft across 12 projects, recorded for 2021–2026 (8 for 2026). 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 beds | AED 8,428 | AED 146,572 | 5.4% | 5.1% |
Only the service charge is taken off.
A separate reserve-fund line appears in 12 of the 12 project budgets counted together here; the middle of those is AED 0.6/sqft.
Yield before costs: a year of rent as a share of the price.

Common questions about Shams Townhouses
How much does a home in Shams Townhouses 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 Shams Townhouses was AED 2.86M for a 3-bedroom (10 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 Shams Townhouses?
The typical rent (the median: half of the rent contracts were above this, half below) in Shams Townhouses is AED 155,000/yr for a 3-bedroom (58 new tenancies recorded in Shams Townhouses 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 Shams Townhouses itself.
What rental yield does Shams Townhouses give?
The yield before costs on completed homes in Shams Townhouses is about 5.4% 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 Shams Townhouses selling off-plan or as resales?
0% of the 17 home sales recorded in Shams Townhouses in the 12 months to 7 Aug 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 Shams Townhouses start selling?
The Land Department's register holds 339 home sales in Shams Townhouses. The earliest was recorded in Jul 2022 and the newest in Aug 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.

Handover competition
Low competitionWhen Shams Townhouses handed over in December 2024, 2 other projects in Town Square had a handover date on record within six months either side — a reference point for how crowded that period was. The Land Department's projects file of 15 Jun 2026 lists 23 other projects in Town Square as not yet finished. None of the 2 listed below is among them.
