The Opus, Business Bay · by Omniyat

A resale 1-bed in The Opus sells for about AED 3.52m

Median of 8 resale sales in the 12 months to 14 Oct 2026. Last sale in the tower: 5 Oct 2026. 8 sales in this period that we judge not to be market sales are left out (see the note under the table).

The project
The Opus is a mixed-use building of two joined towers in Dubai, designed in full by Zaha Hadid. A free-form void forms the core of the cube-shaped design, which has a reflective glass facade. Sources: omniyat.com
The developer says
Each luxury serviced unit in The Opus is furnished, with fixtures handpicked by Zaha Hadid. As given on
The market says
11 resales in 12 months at AED 4,230 per sq ft (+10% in a year); a higher price than 97% of Business Bay towers; owners who sold gained 0.3% a year and 50% sold at a loss; 19 homes for sale now.

James Paul Booth
The agent's view
“Owners who sold in The Opus made 0.3% a year, and 50% of them sold at a loss. A 1-bed rents for a gross yield of about 6.5% at asking prices. There are about 21 months of homes for sale, so the buyer can negotiate. That record is weak. I would only buy below the last sold price for the same layout.”

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.

TypeResale: soldResale: per sq ftMedian askingAsking over resaleRent a yearGross yield
1-bedAED 3,521,802 (8)3,924AED 3,935,336 (10)+12%AED 230,000 (15)6.5%
2-bedunder 5 (3)–AED 13,500,000 (9)–AED 455,000 (7)–

Rents are asking rents, not registered contracts. Yield = asking rent divided by the median resale price, before service charge. 27 sales are hotel apartments and are marked in the list below.

Sales we leave out of every median, count and chart (25 of 99 here): bulk transfers, meaning 5 or more completed homes sold within two days at prices per sq ft within 25% of each other (24); a sale at exactly the same price as that unit's sale before (1); 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.

Adverts: one reading on 7 Oct 2026. Sold prices: resale sales in this tower in the last 12 months, 5 or more of the type. An advert has no unit number, so we compare the price per sq ft with the type, not with the same unit. An asking price is not a sale price. Days listed is from the date on the advert: an agent can place a home again as a new advert, so the real time for sale can be longer. 5 adverts have the same type, size and price as another advert: they are probably the same home with a second agent. We cannot show price cuts over time or the time to sell yet: these need more than one reading.

Mortgage: what The Opus costs a month

The numbers start from the median sold price in this tower. Change any of them. The rate starts at 3.99%, the most common 3-year fixed rate in two bank comparison lists dated 5 October 2026. Fixed rates in those lists run from 3.75% to 4.69%. Three-month EIBOR, the base for variable rates, was 4.19% on 9 Oct 2026.

Which side faces what

The direction of each landmark from The Opus, 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.

What residents say: Google place "The Opus by OMNIYAT designed by Zaha Hadid" has 4.4 from 649 ratings

We read the 7 newest Google reviews that have text (of 40 fetched; the tower has 649 ratings), dated 2026-06 to 2026-10. A review is one resident's statement. We show counts, not quotes.

No problem is named by 2 or more reviews.

On the plus side

Short lets: at least 1 Airbnb listing in this tower

We read Airbnb on 9 Oct 2026 and matched each listing to a tower. A listing counts here when two things agree: the Dubai holiday-home permit code, the tower name in the listing, or the map pin. 1 listing passes this test for The Opus. That is 1 of 97 homes (1%). 5 more may be in this tower, but we could not confirm them.

If you invest

  • Short lets operate in The Opus today: 1 live Airbnb listing.
  • The median advertised night is AED 832. This is the price Airbnb showed for the dates it chose. It is not income: it leaves out empty nights, fees and service charges.
  • No operator has more than 2 listings in this tower.
  • Each short-let home needs a holiday-home permit from Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism. 4 of the listings show a permit code.

If you live here

  • About 1 home in 97 is on Airbnb.
  • A short-let home has new guests every few days. Residents share the lifts, the pool and the gym with them.
  • Before you buy or rent a home to live in, ask the building management how guests get access and who deals with noise.

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, 1 Nov 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 (engelvoelkers.com, live adverts: community guide, metropolitan.realestate, propsearch.ae), 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: unit positions on a floor, the side and view of each unit.
