Science Park Price per SqFt 2026 — DLD Data

The median price per square foot in Dubai Science Park sits around 1,788 AED, which still reads as reasonable for relatively young stock on the western side of the city. The district grew up around TECOM's science and pharma business park, and the residential towers arrived well after the offices, so most of the housing is new. Buyers here tend to be pragmatic, chasing yield rather than a trophy address. With 5,387 transactions over the past year, demand looks genuine rather than speculative.

PSF by unit type

What drives PSF here

PSF in Dubai Science Park is set mostly by unit size. Studios trade at 2,026 AED per foot while three-bedrooms slip to 1,365, and that gap is unusually wide because the bulk of demand targets compact, rentable units. Location within the district matters too: blocks closer to Umm Suqeim Road and with open outlooks over Arjan and the green belts command more than the dense inner clusters. Short-let potential adds a layer, since proximity to Miracle Garden, Global Village and the business cluster makes studios attractive for STR, which lifts what buyers will pay per foot. Liquidity finishes the picture: studios and one-beds together account for nearly 4,700 of the 5,387 deals, so exiting a small unit is easier and the market prices that in.

Price dynamics

Over the year the median price rose 8.1%, a firm move without the froth you see at more hyped addresses. By segment the pattern is textbook for a compact-led area: studios hold the highest PSF at 2,026 AED against a median ticket of 884,000. One-beds run at 1,526 per foot with a median of 1,380,000 and almost the same deal count as studios. Two-beds sit at 1,534 per foot, essentially level with one-beds, which is unusual and points to thin supply in that format. Three-beds are the cheapest by foot at 1,365, but with only 53 sales in the year the median there is more a reference point than solid ground.

Risks

The first risk is the studio tilt: studios make up almost half of all deals, and much of the district's PSF rests on them. If short-let rules tighten or a wave of small units hits the market at once, this segment softens per foot first. The second is the supply pipeline next door, since Arjan and Dubailand are handing over large volumes and some tenants and buyers will drift there, capping PSF growth. The third is transport: there is no metro nearby and the area runs on cars, which narrows the tenant pool, puts a ceiling on rents and, through yield, on price per foot.
