Meydan Price per SqFt 2026 — DLD Data

Meydan's median price per square foot reached 1,389 AED/sqft over the past 12 months, backed by 4,902 DLD-registered transactions — a volume that signals genuine market depth rather than thin trading. The district was developed as a lifestyle quarter centred on the Meydan Racecourse, with residential towers designed around views and amenity access. For investors, that translates to a gross yield of 6.0% and a year-on-year price gain of 2.4%, a combination that favours steady compounding over speculative upside. Meydan is not Dubai's highest-PSF address, but it is one of the more reliable ones.

PSF nach Einheitentyp

Was den PSF hier bestimmt

Three factors hold Meydan's PSF above what raw location would imply. View premiums are real here — units facing the racecourse or the canal corridors consistently command higher per-foot prices, and buyers have enough comparables to price that rationally. Short-term rental demand adds another layer: the racing season generates a recurring wave of occupancy that keeps gross yield supported and nudges asking prices upward. And with nearly five thousand transactions in twelve months, the market is liquid enough that sellers rarely need to discount to exit — that exit confidence is itself priced into the PSF. Strip away any one of these and the 1,389 AED/sqft median would look different.

Preisentwicklung

A 2.4% year-on-year price gain is measured, not exciting — which is part of Meydan's investment case: no crash risk to match no bubble. The per-segment PSF breakdown tells a more nuanced story. Studios trade at 1,966 AED/sqft across 919 transactions, a predictable efficiency premium where smaller floor plates carry higher per-foot prices. One-bedrooms come in at 1,954 AED/sqft with 1,368 deals — the most liquid segment by volume and the natural entry point for yield-focused buyers. Two-bedrooms soften slightly to 1,910 AED/sqft on 715 transactions, reflecting larger absolute sizes diluting the per-foot figure. Three-bedrooms recover to 1,970 AED/sqft (224 deals), where premium layouts and better floor positions restore the per-foot premium. The district-wide median of 1,389 AED/sqft sits below all four segment medians because older and lower-spec stock in the calculation base pulls the blended figure down.

Zu beachtende Risiken

The first risk is seasonal demand concentration. If a meaningful share of short-term rental income depends on the racing season, off-peak periods can drag effective occupancy — and effective yield — well below the headline 6.0%. The second is supply pipeline: Meydan remains an active construction zone, and sustained new completions against stable demand create structural pressure on PSF that moderate year-on-year appreciation cannot fully offset. The third is view dependency. Units facing the racecourse or canal corridors command measurably higher PSF; non-view units in the same buildings trade at a discount. Off-plan buyers who pay view-unit prices for mid-stack, road-facing apartments absorb that gap at handover — a risk that doesn't show up in district-level medians.

Häufige Fragen

What is the median price per square foot in Meydan in 2026?

According to DLD data covering the past 12 months (as of July 2026), the median PSF in Meydan is 1,389 AED/sqft. That figure is based on 4,902 transactions, making it a statistically reliable benchmark rather than a thin-market estimate.

Why do studios have a higher PSF than two-bedroom apartments?

Studios in Meydan trade at 1,966 AED/sqft versus 1,910 AED/sqft for two-bedrooms. The gap reflects a standard floor-plate efficiency effect: smaller units carry a higher per-foot cost because every square foot functions as primary living space, while larger apartments include corridors and secondary rooms that lower the blended average.

Which segment is the most liquid in Meydan?

One-bedroom apartments, with 1,368 transactions over 12 months at a median PSF of 1,954 AED/sqft. That volume makes it the easiest segment to exit without a meaningful price concession — an important factor when modelling total return on a buy-to-let investment.

How much have prices in Meydan grown year-on-year?

Prices are up 2.4% year-on-year per DLD data. That is moderate, stable growth. Combined with the gross yield of 6.0%, the total nominal return approaches roughly 8% annually before costs — a solid risk-adjusted proposition for a stabilised residential asset in a regulated market.

Why is the district-wide median PSF lower than all four segment medians?

Because the district-wide median includes older and lower-specification stock that pulls the blended figure down. Studios trade at 1,966, one-bedrooms at 1,954, two-bedrooms at 1,910, and three-bedrooms at 1,970 AED/sqft — yet the overall median is 1,389 AED/sqft. The gap reflects supply heterogeneity, not a data anomaly.
