Escrow account with Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank · Zoned by Trakhees
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.
Median annual rent of AED 36,383 across 23,480 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
Enter the size from the brochure or the floor plan. We price it against what homes of that size actually registered at in Lawnz Residence By Danube — not an asking price, and not this project’s overall median, which mixes every unit size together.
A year’s rent against what completed homes of that size actually sold for in Lawnz Residence By Danube 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 Lawnz Residence By Danube itself; the rest are homes of the same size in International City Ph 1, used where Ejari did not name the building.
| Size | Costs now, ready | Rents for | Gross yield | Ready sales, 12m |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | AED 490K | AED 40,000/yrsame size in International City Ph 1 | 8.2% | 33 |
| 1 bed | AED 737.5K | AED 49,000/yrsame size in International City Ph 1 | 6.6% | 22 |
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 studio here reads 11.6% instead of 8.2%, because it prices the home at AED 345K — the median across every sale on record — rather than the AED 490K 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 middle filed owners-association budget in this area — AED 11/sqft across 12 buildings, most recently filed for 2023. 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 | Gross | Net |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | AED 4,451 | AED 35,549 | 8.2% | 7.3% |
| 1 bed | AED 6,928 | AED 42,072 | 6.6% | 5.7% |
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.
Over the last twelve months a completed studio in Lawnz Residence By Danube sold for a median AED 490K (33 ready sales), a 1-bedroom for AED 737.5K (22 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.
A studio rents for a median AED 40,000/yr (homes of about that size in International City Ph 1, 756 new tenancies), a 1-bedroom rents for a median AED 49,000/yr (homes of about that size in International City Ph 1, 1,000 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 Lawnz Residence By Danube, so every figure above is the rent for homes of that size in International City Ph 1 — the area's rent, not this project's own.
Gross yields on completed homes in Lawnz Residence By Danube run about 8.2% on a studio, 6.6% 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.
0% of the 72 sales registered in Lawnz Residence By Danube 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.
The Land Department's register holds 1,549 sales in Lawnz Residence By Danube, the earliest registered in 2018. 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.

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.
