What it returns
A year of rent compared with what completed homes of that size actually sold for in The Cosmopolitan 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 The Cosmopolitan itself. The rest are homes of the same size in Business Bay, used where Ejari did not name the building. A red (i) marks a figure that rests on few records, with how many.

Common questions about The Cosmopolitan
How much does a home in The Cosmopolitan 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 The Cosmopolitan was AED 820K for a studio (12 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 The Cosmopolitan?
The typical rent (the median: half of the rent contracts were above this, half below) in The Cosmopolitan is AED 62,000/yr for a studio (86 new tenancies recorded in The Cosmopolitan 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 The Cosmopolitan itself.
What rental yield does The Cosmopolitan give?
The yield before costs on completed homes in The Cosmopolitan is about 7.6% on a studio. 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 The Cosmopolitan selling off-plan or as resales?
0% of the 29 home sales recorded in The Cosmopolitan in the 12 months to 29 Sep 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 The Cosmopolitan start selling?
The Land Department's register holds 982 home sales in The Cosmopolitan. The earliest was recorded in May 2009 and the newest in Sep 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 The Cosmopolitan?
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.
