Ready to Move InA rare and structurally significant investment opportunity — a fully operational freehold residential building in Dubai Investment Park being offered at AED 48,000,000 against an original price of AED 53,000,000, representing a saving of AED 5,000,000 (9.43% below the original price). The building comprises 80 residential units (53 one-bedroom, 26 two-bedroom, and 1 studio) plus 2 retail shops, 86 covered parking spaces, and a full amenity programme including a swimming pool, gymnasium, and kids play area across a G+3+Roof structure on a 59,211 sq ft plot with a built-up area of 125,647 sq ft. The building is fully operational with tenants in place generating a current gross annual income of AED 4,800,000 and a net rental income of AED 4,070,000 per annum — delivering a stated ROI of 8.72% on the asking price. Income transfers to the buyer from the day of ownership. Beyond the current income, a meaningful rental uplift case exists as existing leases come up for renewal against a rising DIP market — providing the incoming owner with both an immediate performing asset and a credible near-term yield enhancement opportunity. Full building ownership — as distinct from a portfolio of individually titled units — provides the investor with consolidated management control, no shared body corporate complexity, and the ability to set rental, management, and exit strategy at the building level.
This building was originally purchased at AED 53,000,000. The seller is now offering at AED 48,000,000 — a saving of AED 5,000,000 against the original price, representing a 9.43% discount. This is not a vacant or underperforming asset being sold under pressure: it is a fully operational, income-generating building with 80 tenanted residential units and 2 retail shops delivering AED 4,070,000 in net annual income. The distress here is the seller’s personal or financial circumstances requiring a discounted exit from a performing asset — the buyer acquires a going-concern real estate investment at a price AED 5,000,000 below the seller’s entry point. The combination of a below-OP acquisition price, a 10.0% gross yield, and meaningful rental uplift potential on lease renewals creates a multi-dimensional investment case that is exceptionally rare for full-building acquisitions in the Dubai market.
Acquiring a full building — as opposed to a portfolio of individual titled apartments — delivers a set of structural investment advantages that significantly exceed the sum of individual unit ownership. As the sole owner of the entire building, the investor has complete control over management policy, service charge structure, maintenance standards, tenant selection criteria, rental pricing, lease renewal terms, and exit strategy. There is no body corporate, no co-owner votes, and no competing ownership interests. The building can be managed directly, outsourced to a single property management company, or operated as a branded residential product — all at the sole discretion of the building owner. This consolidated ownership also creates optionality that individual unit investors cannot access: the owner can sell the building as a going-concern investment to another institutional buyer, apply for building refinancing against the income stream, or undertake value-add renovations to enhance the asset and justify rental increases across all 80 units simultaneously.
The seller has noted strong rental uplift potential upon lease renewal across the building — an important value-add dimension that supplements the current 8.48% net yield. Dubai Investment Park has experienced consistent upward rental pressure as the community’s residential population has grown, its infrastructure has improved, and demand from workers, families, and small businesses in the DIP ecosystem has increased. Where existing leases were contracted at rates below the current market — a common situation in buildings where tenants have been in residence for multiple years under RERA-regulated increase caps — the incoming owner has a structured pathway to bringing rents progressively to market levels on each renewal cycle. At scale across 80 units, even a modest average rental increase across the unit mix delivers a meaningful uplift to the net income and the effective yield on the acquisition price.
Dubai Investment Park is one of Dubai’s largest and most strategically positioned mixed-use master-planned communities — a government-developed zone combining industrial, commercial, and residential land use across one of Dubai’s fastest-growing southern corridors. The residential component of DIP has expanded significantly as the community’s resident workforce and family population has grown, creating sustained demand for quality residential rental accommodation at accessible price points. DIP’s location adjacent to Emirates Road (E311), Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, and the Expo City Dubai corridor positions it as a beneficiary of two of Dubai’s most transformative infrastructure investments: the expanding Al Maktoum International Airport (positioned to become the world’s largest aviation hub) and the Expo City Dubai legacy development. Improved connectivity, growing resident population, and a widening lifestyle infrastructure base — including community retail, dining, recreation, and schooling — have made DIP one of the most active and yield-consistent residential rental markets in Dubai’s suburban investment universe.
The original purchase price was AED 53,000,000. The asking price is AED 48,000,000 — a saving of AED 5,000,000 representing 9.43% below the original price. This is not a vacant or distressed-performance asset: it is a fully operational, fully tenanted building generating AED 4,070,000 in net annual income. The seller’s exit below their purchase price reflects personal or financial circumstances rather than asset underperformance. The buyer acquires a going-concern investment at a price AED 5,000,000 below what the seller paid.
The building currently generates a gross annual income of AED 4,800,000 across all 80 residential units and 2 retail shops. After operational costs (service charge, maintenance, management, and building expenses totalling approximately AED 730,000), the net annual income is AED 4,070,000. On the asking price of AED 48,000,000: gross yield is 10.0% and net yield is 8.48%. The seller states an ROI of 8.72% — a figure that may reflect a slightly different calculation basis. The individual unit income schedule and tenancy breakdown are available on request.
Dubai Investment Park has seen consistent upward rental pressure as the community has grown. Where existing leases in this building were contracted at below-current-market rates — common in buildings with long-term tenants under RERA-regulated annual increase caps — the incoming owner has a structured pathway to progressively bringing rents to market levels on each renewal cycle. At 80 units, even a modest average increase of AED 2,000 to AED 5,000 per unit per year upon renewal delivers AED 160,000 to AED 400,000 of additional annual income, translating directly into enhanced yield on the acquisition price.
The building comprises 53 one-bedroom units, 26 two-bedroom units, 1 studio, and 2 retail shops. The current income of AED 4,800,000 gross is distributed across these 82 leased units and shops. The full tenancy schedule — individual unit rents, lease expiry dates, tenant profiles, and individual unit specifications — is available as part of the investment due diligence package on request from our team to qualified buyers.
Dubai Investment Park (DIP) is one of Dubai’s largest government-developed mixed-use communities combining industrial, commercial, and residential zones. The residential population has grown consistently as the community’s workforce and family base has expanded. DIP benefits from proximity to Expo City Dubai, the expanding Al Maktoum International Airport corridor (positioned to be the world’s largest aviation hub), and major corporate and industrial employers within the DIP zone itself. This creates a sustained and diverse rental demand base — from single professionals and couples in 1BR units to families in 2BR units — making DIP one of Dubai’s most consistently high-yield residential rental markets.
Owning the full building — rather than a portfolio of individually titled apartments — provides complete strategic control: management policy, service charge, maintenance standards, rental pricing, tenant selection, lease renewal terms, and exit strategy are all set at the sole discretion of the building owner. There is no body corporate, no co-owner votes, and no competing ownership interests. The owner can manage directly, outsource to a single property manager, undertake building-wide renovations, refinance against the income stream, or sell the building as a going-concern investment to another institutional or individual buyer. This consolidated ownership structure is significantly more powerful and flexible than equivalent-value apartment portfolios.
Yes. Dubai Investment Park includes freehold designated areas permitting ownership by all nationalities worldwide including individuals, family offices, investment companies, and corporate structures. Freehold status for this specific building should be verified as part of due diligence. Our team will confirm ownership type, title deed structure, and eligibility for the buyer’s specific acquisition vehicle on request.
Based on the asking price of AED 48,000,000: DLD transfer fee 4% (AED 1,920,000), DLD administrative fee (approximately AED 580), agency commission 2% plus VAT (approximately AED 1,008,000). Total estimated all-in approximately AED 50,928,580. Net yield on this all-in total: AED 4,070,000 divided by AED 50,928,580 equals approximately 7.99%. Full cost structure including any mortgage arrangement fees will be provided as part of the investment due diligence package.
Yes. Fully operational residential buildings with documented income streams are eligible for commercial real estate financing from UAE banks and institutional lenders. Typical LTV ratios for residential income buildings range from 50% to 65% of the purchase price or market valuation, with rates and terms dependent on the buyer’s profile. Our team can introduce qualified buyers to experienced commercial real estate finance advisors.

This full residential building in Dubai Investment Park spans 125,647 sq ft of built-up area across a ground floor plus 3 residential floors plus roof level, on a 59,211 sq ft plot. The ground floor accommodates 2 retail shops and the building entrance, lobby, and service areas, as well as the swimming pool, gymnasium, and kids play area on the podium or ground floor. The residential floors deliver 80 units across three types: 53 one-bedroom units, 26 two-bedroom units, and 1 studio. The one-bedroom units are the dominant type — accounting for 66% of all residential units — and represent the core income generation vehicle, providing the high-occupancy rental profile characteristic of DIP's primarily professional and working-couple tenant base. The 26 two-bedroom units address the family-oriented rental demand from DIP's growing household population. The 86 covered parking spaces are distributed across the plot to provide full parking provision for all residential occupants. Full building floor plans — ground floor, typical residential floors, roof level, unit mix distribution, individual unit layouts, and parking layout — are available on request from our team as part of the investment due diligence package to qualified buyers.
