What does a Dubai Sports City apartment actually yield?
Dubai Sports City returns 8.23% gross on April 2026 DLD-derived data, at AED 1,332 per square foot. Service charges are published around AED 10 to 14 per square foot, so expect roughly 6.2% to 6.7% net once service charges, management and vacancy are counted.
