No home sold in September, after two in August.

James Paul Booth
The agent's view
“Owners who sold in Ubora Tower 1 made 13.0% a year, and none of the 16 on record sold at a loss. A 1-bed rents for a gross yield of about 7.0% at asking prices. There are about 25 months of homes for sale, so the buyer can negotiate. For me that is a strong record for Business Bay. Pay for the right view and 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

3-bedunder 5 (1)–– (0)–– (0)–

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 (10 of 135 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 (2); a size more than 1.6 times the usual size for the recorded type, or a "studio" above 750 sq ft (8). They stay in the list below with a label.

What owners made: +13.0% a year, 0% sold at a loss

16 owners bought a home in Ubora Tower 1 and sold it again as a completed home 6 months or more later. Half of them held it for 2.9 years or more. A gain is the change in the price for each year held, before fees, service charge and rent.

Round trips: the same unit number sold twice, bulk transfers and same-price transfers out, 5 or more owners for each line. Only owners who sold are counted: an owner who waits for a better price is not here. An owner who bought off-plan paid in stages, so the gain on the cash paid in is higher than the gain on the price. Dubai figures: 55,901 round trips by the same rule, all areas, to 14 Oct 2026.

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.

The direction of each landmark from Ubora Tower 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.

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 Ubora Tower 1. 2 listings may be in this tower, but we could not confirm them. 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.

Where sources disagree

  • Completion year: dataHabibi and Zeus Capital say 2011 (Q4 or Dec; a datahabibi search results says Q1 2011); a Propsearch search results says Oct 2023; Property Stellar says 2018.
  • Developer name varies: Bando Engineering, Bando Housing Corp, Bando Engineering & Construction.
  • Propsearch live adverts: community guide lists a 24 Jul 2026 sale at AED 26,132 for a 695 sq ft unit, an obvious outlier, and several mortgage registrations that are not sales; these were not used.
  • Zeus Capital page shows foreign currency symbols (baht) on its sale price blocks and 58 floors, so its data is weak.
  • The dataHabibi table says the newest entry is dated 1 Dec 2026, which is after today's date (2026-10-13).

Watch-outs

Our data · our sales data, datahabibi.ae
Maintenance and cleanliness of common areas
Not found. The Gaia Realty search results calls it an older tower that has aged better than some peers, but that is one site's opinion with no detail.

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, 7 Jan 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 (booking.com, datahabibi.ae, drivenproperties.com, live adverts: community guide, 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: a Google Maps place, resident reviews, unit positions on a floor, the side and view of each unit.
