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 Business Bay
Median annual rent of AED 90,000 across 14,397 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 Merano Tower — 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 Merano 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 Merano Tower itself; the rest are homes of the same size in Business Bay, used where Ejari did not name the building.
| Size | Costs now, ready | Rents for | Gross yield | Ready sales, 12m |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bed | AED 1.1M | AED 95,000/yrsame size in Business Bay | 8.6% | 23 |
| 2 beds | AED 1.39M | AED 110,000/yrsame size in Business Bay | 7.9% | 12 |
What it returns after service charges
Starting from this building’s own owners-association budget for 2023 — AED 17/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 11,270 | AED 83,730 | 8.6% | 7.6% |
| 2 beds | AED 16,251 | AED 93,749 | 7.9% | 6.7% |
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 Merano Tower
How much does a home in Merano Tower cost?
Over the last twelve months a completed 1-bedroom in Merano Tower sold for a median AED 1.1M (23 ready sales), a 2-bedroom for AED 1.39M (12 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 Merano Tower?
A 1-bedroom rents for a median AED 95,000/yr (homes of about that size in Business Bay, 1,478 new tenancies), a 2-bedroom rents for a median AED 110,000/yr (homes of about that size in Business Bay, 2,331 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 Merano Tower, so every figure above is the rent for homes of that size in Business Bay — the area's rent, not this project's own.
What rental yield does Merano Tower give?
Gross yields on completed homes in Merano Tower run about 8.6% on a 1-bedroom, 7.9% on a 2-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 Merano Tower selling off-plan or as resales?
0% of the 42 sales registered in Merano 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 Merano Tower start selling?
The Land Department's register holds 828 sales in Merano Tower, the earliest registered in 2015. 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.

Moderate competitionWhen Merano Tower completed in February 2020, 3 other other projects in Business Bay were also completing within 6 months — a useful reference point for how crowded the handover window actually was. Separately, 146 more other projects in Business Bay are still in the pipeline overall.

Buying in Merano 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.
