What Dubai Design District rents for, by layout
Every residential tenancy registered with Ejari in the last twelve months, read from the DLD area Zaabeel Second — which also covers Zabeel. Annual rents, medians.
| Layout | Typical size | Median rent | New lease | Renewal | Year before | Contracts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 B/R | 744 sqft | 120,000 | 120,000 | 120,000 | 120,000 | 349 |
| 2 B/R | 1,188 sqft | 175,000 | 180,000 | 171,000 | 176,800 | 470 |
| 3 B/R | 1,735 sqft | 270,000 | 270,000 | 277,500 | 275,000 | 180 |
A renewal is held to the RERA rental index; a new lease is what the market asked that month. Layouts with fewer than ten contracts in the year are left out — too few to quote a median, so we do not guess at one.
