Villas on the Land Department's register in The Sustainable City
The Land Department's buildings file lists 498 villas in The Sustainable City; 0 of them stand alone on a plot in the land register with both sizes recorded, which is fewer than the 30 needed, so no plot band is shown.

Recorded home resales here fall in 119 months, Dec 2015 to Sep 2026. The growth beside this is drawn from the months with 5 or more of them; a figure for what they will do next is a scenario you set on the returns page.

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 The Sustainable City — 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 The Sustainable City 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 Sustainable City itself. The rest are homes of the same size in Sustainable City, used where Ejari did not name the building.
| Size | Price now, ready homes | Rents for | Yield before costs | Ready sales, 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 beds | AED 4.75M | AED 257,500/yrthis building · 30 new lets | 5.4% | 13 |
| 4 beds | AED 5M | AED 282,500/yrthis building · 40 new lets | 5.7% | 17 |
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 3.29M), a 3 beds here reads 7.8% instead of 5.4%. The yield in the table above uses the AED 4.75M 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
We have no recorded budget for this one, so this starts from a placeholder, not a measured figure. The real number is on your service charge invoice, or on RERA’s Service Charge Index. How to check it.
| Size | Charge / year | Rent after it | Yield before costs | Yield after service charge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 beds | AED 31,580 | AED 225,920 | 5.4% | 4.8% |
| 4 beds | AED 35,003 | AED 247,497 | 5.7% | 4.9% |
Only the service charge is taken off.
Yield before costs: a year of rent as a share of the price.

Common questions about The Sustainable City
How much does a home in The Sustainable City 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 Sustainable City was AED 4.75M for a 3-bedroom (13 ready sales) and AED 5M for a 4-bedroom (17 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 Sustainable City?
The typical rent (the median: half of the rent contracts were above this, half below) in The Sustainable City is AED 257,500/yr for a 3-bedroom (30 new tenancies recorded in The Sustainable City itself) and AED 282,500/yr for a 4-bedroom (40 new tenancies recorded in The Sustainable City 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 Sustainable City itself.
What rental yield does The Sustainable City give?
The yield before costs on completed homes in The Sustainable City is about 5.4% on a 3-bedroom and 5.7% on a 4-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 The Sustainable City selling off-plan or as resales?
0% of the 32 home sales recorded in The Sustainable City in the 12 months to 24 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 Sustainable City start selling?
The Land Department's register holds 712 home sales in The Sustainable City. The earliest was recorded in Jan 2015 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.

Handover competition
Low competitionWhen The Sustainable City handed over in December 2015, no other project in Sustainable City had a handover date on record within six months either side — a reference point for how crowded that period was.

Buying in The Sustainable City?
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.
