What does a JVC apartment actually yield?
A JVC apartment yields 7.43% gross on April 2026 DLD-derived data. Net is materially lower, and the published service charges disagree: one source quotes AED 3 to 6 per square foot, another AED 13 to 22. Expect roughly 5.4% to 5.9% net, and confirm your own building before committing.
Gross against net
7.43% gross points to roughly 5.4% to 5.9% net once service charges, management and vacancy are counted — a published 1.5 to 2.0 point bridge, applied as a range.

What argues against it
- Published service-charge figures differ roughly fourfold at the midpoints — AED 3–6 against AED 13–22 — so the net yield is genuinely uncertain until you check the building.
- Road and infrastructure works are ongoing in parts of the circle.
- Apartment supply includes multiple towers in handover phases, which can pressure rents when they complete.
