The agent's view
“There are too few recent sales in Central 1 for me to quote a return. I would price it from the last sale of the same layout, and I would not pay more for a promise.”

From the developer: the developer

What the developer publishes about Central 1. Pictures are the developer's artist's impressions, not photos of the building. Each fact shows where it comes from; a fact read from the developer's text is checked word for word.

Checked, not found: artist's impressions, floor plans, a video, a brochure or other PDF, facts we could check. We searched the developer site and the web on 10 Oct 2026. Ask the developer for the latest brochure and floor plans.

Resale and off-plan prices by bedroom

Resale = a completed home sold on. Off-plan = a home sold before the tower is complete, in most cases by the developer. The two are different markets, so we never mix them in one price. Sold = median price of sales in the 12 months to 14 Oct 2026. Asking and rent = live listings on 7 Oct 2026. Counts are in brackets. A median needs 5 sales or 3 listings.

TypeRent a year
3-bedAED 170,000 (42)

Rents are asking rents, not registered contracts. Yield = asking rent divided by the median resale price, before service charge.

Sales we leave out of every median, count and chart (0 of 0 here): bulk transfers, meaning 5 or more completed homes sold within two days at prices per sq ft within 25% of each other (0); a sale at exactly the same price as that unit's sale before (0); a size more than 1.6 times the usual size for the recorded type, or a "studio" above 750 sq ft (0). They stay in the list below with a label.

Too few resale sales to state a yearly change

0 resale sales in the last 12 months and 0 in the 12 months before. Each period needs at least 5.

Too few quarters with sales to draw a chart.

Bars: median AED per sq ft by quarter. Blue line and blue numbers under the bars: number of sales in the quarter. Last 16 quarters at most. Grey bars have fewer than 3 sales.

The official record

Checked, not found. We could not match this tower to a building name in the Dubai Land Department register, so sales before 2020, offices, shops, mortgages and gifts are not shown.

The direction of each landmark from Central 1, and the towers within 150 m that can stand in the way. What a home really sees depends on its floor and its side of the building. We do not have the unit positions for this tower yet, so we cannot tell you the view of one unit.

Delivery-store (Talabat) traffic and noise at the buildingResidents report night-time noise from bikes, cars and delivery trucks, shouting, fast driving through pedestrian lanes, blocked road view when leaving by car, and the garage entrance being used by the store, forcing wrong-way driving through the exit. Two reviews also say management did not act.

On the plus side

Short lets: no Airbnb listing matched to this tower

Checked, not found. We read Airbnb on 9 Oct 2026 and no listing passed our test for Central 1. This does not mean short lets are not allowed.

Source: Airbnb listing pages, read 9 Oct 2026. A listing is one advert. One home can have more than one advert. No listing found does not mean short lets are not allowed.

Own a unit here?

Ask for a report on your unit: its sales history, the same type's sales in the last 12 months and the homes for sale against it. A licensed partner agent, named on the report with the registration number, sends it. BUY DUBAI is not a broker and takes no part in the sale.

Method, sources and what we did not find

  • Sales: unit-level Dubai Land Department sale records, 2020 to 14 Oct 2026, checked by year against Dubai Land Department open data. Our unit list does not hold every sale, so some sales are missing.
  • Listings: one snapshot, 7 Oct 2026. Asking prices and asking rents.
  • Short lets: Airbnb map search and listing pages for Business Bay, read 9 Oct 2026. A listing counts for a tower when two of these agree: the Dubai holiday-home permit code, the tower name in the listing, the map pin.
  • Residents and building facts: Google Maps reviews and guide pages (business-bay-dubai.ae, hausandhaus.com, live adverts: community guide, propsearch.ae, royalestays.com), read by an AI model on 16 Oct 2026 with a fixed question list. A script checks that each answer names its source.
  • Nobody visited the tower. Every fact is from a document, a map or a resident's review.
  • Checked, not found for this tower: sales, unit positions on a floor, the side and view of each unit, the developer.
