Dubai's real estate market continues to attract global investors thanks to its strong rental yields, tax-friendly environment, and long-term capital appreciation potential. In this case study, we examine how a our client generated an impressive 84.7% net return within approximately three years through a strategic investment in Dubai property.
Project: Binghatti Nova
Location: Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), Dubai
Property Type: 1-Bedroom Apartment
Size: 634 sq.ft.
Floor: Mid-floor
JVC remains one of Dubai's most attractive investment destinations due to its affordability, growing infrastructure, and strong tenant demand.
The client already owned a portfolio of rental properties in Russia and decided to diversify into the Dubai real estate market. A our broker identified an excellent opportunity: a cancelled unit in the sold-out Binghatti Nova development.
The apartment was acquired at a launch-level price that would be difficult to find in today's market—approximately USD 160,000 for nearly 60 square meters of living space.
Total purchase cost including DLD fees and administration charges: 617,000 AED
The investor's primary objective was to generate passive rental income while benefiting from potential capital appreciation.
After handover, the property was successfully leased, creating a stable cash flow stream.
Over two years, the property generated:
130,000 AED net rental income
This provided consistent returns while the property's market value continued to increase.
After achieving strong rental performance and significant market appreciation, the decision was made to sell the asset and realize the gains.
Sale Price: 1,030,000 AED
Agency Commission (2%): 20,600 AED
Net Proceeds from Sale: 1,009,400 AED
Total amount received by the investor:
Net Sale Proceeds: 1,009,400 AED
Rental Income: 130,000 AED
Total Return: 1,139,400 AED
Initial Investment:
617,000 AED
Net Profit:
522,400 AED
ROI Calculation:
ROI = (522,400 AED ÷ 617,000 AED) × 100
Total ROI: 84.7%
Within approximately three years, the investor earned more than half a million dirhams in net profit.
This case demonstrates that successful Dubai property investments do not always require a large budget. The key factors behind this performance included:
Securing a high-potential unit at an attractive entry price;
Investing in a sought-after Dubai community;
Generating consistent rental income;
Benefiting from market appreciation;
Executing a well-timed exit strategy.
Dubai real estate continues to offer compelling opportunities for investors seeking passive income and long-term wealth creation. This Binghatti Nova case study highlights how a combination of rental yield and capital growth can deliver exceptional returns.
