The Land Department’s record

Registered developer: BEHNAM ALI KEIVAN (DLD no. 577)
Master developer: DUBAI LAND RESIDENCES (L.L.C) (DLD no. 899)

Escrow account with Mashreq Bank · Zoned by Dubai Development Authority (DDA)

From the Land Department’s projects file published 15 June 2026. These are the register’s own entries, not a status we determined, and they change only when DLD republishes the file. An escrow account being recorded is not an assurance about the project.

Rents filed under Dubai Land Residence Complex

Median annual rent of AED 51,975 across 7,442 tenancies registered in the community over the last 12 months.

This is the community’s figure, not this project’s. The Land Department names a community on far more tenancies than it names a project, so this is shown where the project’s own registered tenancies are too few to publish. Buildings within one community differ widely, so treat it as the surrounding level rather than what this address achieves.

Registered DLD sales · medians, not estimates · how we compute this

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 registered at in Desert Sun Tower — not an asking price, and not this project’s overall median, which mixes every unit size together.

Price per sqft trend

AED 1,134/sqftMay 2012Aug 2026

What it returns

A year’s rent against what completed homes of that size actually sold for in Desert Sun Tower over the same twelve months. Prices are this project’s own registered ready sales; off-plan sales are left out because rent is paid on built homes. Rents marked this building are registered new tenancies in Desert Sun Tower itself; the rest are homes of the same size in Dubai Land Residence Complex, used where Ejari did not name the building.

What it returns after service charges

Starting from this building’s own owners-association budget for 2023 — AED 15/sqft, as filed with the Land Department. Charges have risen since then, so replace it with your own invoice if you have one. How to check it.

SizeCharge / yearRent after itGrossNet
StudioAED 6,904AED 33,09610.6%8.8%
1 bedAED 13,401AED 44,67010.0%7.7%

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 Desert Sun Tower

How much does a home in Desert Sun Tower cost?

Over the last twelve months a completed studio in Desert Sun Tower sold for a median AED 377.5K (38 ready sales), a 1-bedroom for AED 580K (11 ready sales). These are medians of sales actually registered with the Dubai Land Department, not asking prices. Completed homes only — off-plan registrations are left out, because they sell at a premium and are not the same purchase.

How much is rent in Desert Sun Tower?

A studio rents for a median AED 40,000/yr (homes of about that size in Dubai Land Residence Complex, 329 new tenancies), a 1-bedroom rents for a median AED 58,071/yr (homes of about that size in Dubai Land Residence Complex, 505 new tenancies). These are medians of new tenancy contracts registered with Ejari over the last twelve months — what tenants agreed to pay, not advertised asking rents. Ejari names the building on only about one contract in five, and on none that match Desert Sun Tower, so every figure above is the rent for homes of that size in Dubai Land Residence Complex — the area's rent, not this project's own.

What rental yield does Desert Sun Tower give?

Gross yields on completed homes in Desert Sun Tower run about 10.6% on a studio, 10.0% on a 1-bedroom, dividing a year of registered rent by what completed homes of that size actually sold for over the same twelve months. Both halves cover the same period, which is why these read lower than yields quoted against an all-time average price. They 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 Desert Sun Tower selling off-plan or as resales?

0% of the 51 sales registered in Desert Sun Tower in its most recent twelve months of trading were off-plan, and the rest were completed homes. That window ends at this project's own newest registered sale rather than today, so a development that finished selling years ago still reports the year it was actually trading.

When did Desert Sun Tower start selling?

The Land Department's register holds 321 sales in Desert Sun Tower, the earliest registered in 2008. That is when a sale here was first recorded, which is not the same as when the project launched or completed — the transaction register carries no build date, so we do not publish one.

Handover competition

Low competition

When Desert Sun Tower completed in June 2015, 1 other other project in Dubai Land Residence Complex were also completing within 6 months — a useful reference point for how crowded the handover window actually was. Separately, 81 more other projects in Dubai Land Residence Complex are still in the pipeline overall.

Buying in Desert Sun Tower?

Everything above is free and stays free. What this page cannot tell you is what your unit is worth — the median 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 open an official system on the day: the agent's licence, the project's escrow, and its registered status.
