Rents filed under Jumeirah Village Circle
Median annual rent of AED 67,474 across 29,044 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 Manhattan — not an asking price, and not this project’s overall median, which mixes every unit size together.
Price per sqft trend
What it returns
A year’s rent against what completed homes of that size actually sold for in Manhattan 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 Manhattan itself; the rest are homes of the same size in Jumeirah Village Circle, used where Ejari did not name the building.
| Size | Costs now, ready | Rents for | Gross yield | Ready sales, 12m |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bed | AED 700K | AED 75,000/yrsame size in Jumeirah Village Circle | 10.7% | 14 |
What it returns after service charges
Starting from this building’s own owners-association budget for 2023 — AED 13/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.
| Size | Charge / year | Rent after it | Gross | Net |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bed | AED 11,519 | AED 63,481 | 10.7% | 9.1% |
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 Manhattan
How much does a home in Manhattan cost?
Over the last twelve months a completed 1-bedroom in Manhattan sold for a median AED 700K (14 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 Manhattan?
A 1-bedroom rents for a median AED 75,000/yr (homes of about that size in Jumeirah Village Circle, 3,858 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 Manhattan, so every figure above is the rent for homes of that size in Jumeirah Village Circle — the area's rent, not this project's own.
What rental yield does Manhattan give?
Gross yields on completed homes in Manhattan run about 10.7% 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 Manhattan selling off-plan or as resales?
0% of the 22 sales registered in Manhattan 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 Manhattan start selling?
The Land Department's register holds 805 sales in Manhattan, 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.

High competitionWhen Manhattan completed in December 2011, 11 other other projects in Jumeirah Village Circle were also completing within 6 months — a useful reference point for how crowded the handover window actually was. Separately, 326 more other projects in Jumeirah Village Circle are still in the pipeline overall.

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.
