A typical residential sale here is AED 962,267 for about 1,017 sqft in the last 12 months (1,652 sales); across all 7,436 recorded sales the median is AED 1,150,000.
Ready-home prices here have moved +193.3% across the 162 months (Feb 2013 – Aug 2026) of Land Department records we hold — a pace of +8% a year if it continued.
That is the whole 162 months of records for this area, expressed as an annual pace. It averages across every cycle in that period, so it describes the long run rather than the market today. Treat it as history, not a forecast.
Off-plan and ready are different markets
Comparing a launch price against a resale price without separating them is the most common way Dubai price-per-square-foot figures mislead.

What each size costs in Dubai Investment Park First
Median size and price for every bedroom count with at least 15 recorded sales. Dubai Land Department records a room count on nearly every sale, so this is a breakdown of real transactions rather than an estimate. The headline price is the last 12 months; the median across every sale on record sits under it.
Rent is matched to homes by bedroom count where Ejari records one, which most contracts do, and by floor area where it does not — each row says which. Every figure is the median of registered new lets: a renewal is capped under Decree 43 of 2013 and sits below what the same home lets for today.

What it returns
A year’s rent against what completed homes of that size actually sold for in Dubai Investment Park First over the same twelve months — both from registered records. Off-plan sales are left out of the price, because rent is paid on built homes and off-plan sells at a premium.

The best gross yield here is on a 1 bed at 6.1%. Smaller homes almost always yield more than larger ones — they cost proportionally less and rent for proportionally more.
Why this is lower than yields quoted elsewhere
The usual shortcut divides today’s rent by an average price — and in a market that has risen as far as Dubai’s, the average is a historical price. On that arithmetic a 1 bed here reads 9.6% instead of 6.1%, because it prices the home at AED 673.9K — the median across every sale on record — rather than the AED 1.06M 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 hold no filed budget for this one, so this starts from a placeholder rather than a measurement — it’s on the service charge invoice, or on RERA’s Service Charge Index. How to check it.

Still not the final number: agency commission on re-letting, and any month the home sits empty, both come out of net rent too. This subtracts the service charge only, because it is the one cost that is the same every year whether or not the home is let.
Gross yield: rent before costs. Service charges, agency commission, and any month the home sits empty all come out of it — in Dubai the service charge alone is commonly a fifth to a third of the rent, so treat these as the ceiling rather than the return.
Common questions about Dubai Investment Park First
How much is rent in Dubai Investment Park First?
a studio rents for a median AED 41,000/yr, a 1-bedroom for AED 65,000/yr, a 2-bedroom for AED 85,000/yr, a 3-bedroom for AED 142,500/yr. These are medians of tenancy contracts registered with Ejari in Dubai Investment Park First over the last twelve months — what tenants agreed to pay, not advertised asking rents. Rent is matched to homes by bedroom count where Ejari records one — most contracts do — and by floor area where it does not; each row on this page says which.
How much do properties cost in Dubai Investment Park First?
The median residential sale price in Dubai Investment Park First was AED 1,151/sqft in August 2026, from 155 sales registered that month. Over the last 12 months a typical home here sold for about AED 962.27K and measured about 1,017 sqft (1,652 sales). These are medians of sales actually registered with the Dubai Land Department, not of asking prices.
What rental yield does Dubai Investment Park First give?
Gross yields on ready homes in Dubai Investment Park First run about 6.1% on a 1-bedroom apartment, 3.9% on a 2-bedroom apartment, 5.4% on a 3-bedroom villa, 4.4% on a 4-bedroom villa, dividing a year of registered rent by what completed homes of that size actually sold for over the same twelve months. Smaller homes yield more. These are gross figures: service charges, agency commission and void periods are not deducted, and in Dubai the service charge alone commonly takes a fifth to a third of the rent.
Is Dubai Investment Park First freehold?
No. No unit in Dubai Investment Park First is registered freehold, so foreign nationals generally cannot buy outright here. Some non-freehold areas offer long leasehold instead — check the specific title. The register holds 31,370 units for the area.
Is Dubai Investment Park First mostly off-plan or completed homes?
93% of the 1,652 sales registered in Dubai Investment Park First in the last 12 months were off-plan, and the rest were completed homes. The two trade at different prices, so a single blended price per square foot for the area would describe neither.

A median is not an index: it moves when the mix of what sold moves, and a single quarter's move against the one before it reverses the next quarter about half the time on this register. Read the level, its sample, and the change against the same quarter a year earlier.
Median price per sqft trend
Every registered residential sale in this area by month, ready homes and off-plan together, so this is the history of what sold rather than a rate. The newest month is still being registered and will move. The rates on this page read ready homes alone.
Areas at a similar price
