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 Silicon Gate 1 — 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 Silicon Gate 1 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 Silicon Gate 1 itself; the rest are homes of the same size in Silicon Oasis, used where Ejari did not name the building.
| Size | Costs now, ready | Rents for | Gross yield | Ready sales, 12m |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | AED 431.87K | AED 43,000/yrsame size in Silicon Oasis | 10.0% | 30 |
| 1 bed | AED 655K | AED 60,000/yrsame size in Silicon Oasis | 9.2% | 32 |
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 12.3% instead of 10.0%, because it prices the home at AED 349.38K — the median across every sale on record — rather than the AED 431.87K 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 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.
| Size | Charge / year | Rent after it | Gross | Net |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | AED 6,137 | AED 36,863 | 10.0% | 8.5% |
| 1 bed | AED 12,042 | AED 47,958 | 9.2% | 7.3% |
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 Silicon Gate 1
How much does a home in Silicon Gate 1 cost?
Over the last twelve months a completed studio in Silicon Gate 1 sold for a median AED 431.87K (30 ready sales), a 1-bedroom for AED 655K (32 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 Silicon Gate 1?
A studio rents for a median AED 43,000/yr (homes of about that size in Silicon Oasis, 460 new tenancies), a 1-bedroom rents for a median AED 60,000/yr (homes of about that size in Silicon Oasis, 1,775 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 Silicon Gate 1, so every figure above is the rent for homes of that size in Silicon Oasis — the area's rent, not this project's own.
What rental yield does Silicon Gate 1 give?
Gross yields on completed homes in Silicon Gate 1 run about 10.0% on a studio, 9.2% 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 Silicon Gate 1 selling off-plan or as resales?
0% of the 74 sales registered in Silicon Gate 1 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 Silicon Gate 1 start selling?
The Land Department's register holds 2,353 sales in Silicon Gate 1, the earliest registered in 2007. 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 Silicon Gate 1 completed in January 2014, 4 other other projects in Silicon Oasis were also completing within 6 months — a useful reference point for how crowded the handover window actually was. Separately, 64 more other projects in Silicon Oasis 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.
