# Expo City Dubai property prices, rental yields and capital growth

> Published figures for Expo City Dubai, Dubai, each with its source and date, and the major projects nearby. Compiled 12 November 2026.

## Price per sq ft and rental yield

- **Price per sq ft**: AED 2,110 per sq ft (All residential, 12 months to 12 November 2026). [Source: Property Finder, from Dubai Land Department records](https://www.propertyfinder.ae/en/transactions/buy/dubai/expo-city), read 12 November 2026.

## Capital growth

Average sale price per sq ft, average sale price and number of registered sales over each period, each change against the period of equal length before. Each change compares the average of everything registered in one period with the period before. It moves with the mix of homes sold as well as with prices, so it is not like-for-like growth.

## How the atlas is built

- Every figure is copied as published by a named source, with its link, the period it covers and the date we read it. Nothing is estimated, interpolated, averaged or rounded.
- Dubai price, rent and change figures come from Property Finder's transaction pages, which publish averages of Dubai Land Department registered sales and tenancy contracts for the last 3 months, 6 months, 12 months and 3 years, with a change against the period before.
- Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah figures come from Bayut's asking-price index: advertised prices, not completed sales, which usually sit above transaction prices.
- ValuStrat readings are valuation-based and appear only where the press reported a community by name.
- Sources measure different things. Compare areas within one source and one period, never across sources.
- Projects and regeneration zones come from official releases where we could read them, otherwise from The National, Khaleej Times or Gulf News. A project is listed against an area when a source places it there, or when its mapped point is within 5 km of the area's point.
- Price effects of projects are published claims, attributed to the publisher. The atlas never says that a project caused a price change.
