Podium, Suburbia: a resale 1-bed sells for about AED 560,000
Median of at least 11 resale 1-bed sales in the 12 months to 26 Oct 2026, from Land Department records (18 resale sales of all sizes). Last sale in the tower: 20 Oct 2026.
- The market says
- At least 18 resales of all sizes in the 12 months to 26 Oct 2026 at AED 770 per sq ft; owners who sold gained 9.5% a year and 17% sold at a loss; 1 home for sale now.
“Owners who sold in Suburbia Podium made 9.5% a year, and 17% of them sold at a loss. A 1-bed gives a gross yield of about 10.7% on the median signed Ejari rent for a 1-bed in Downtown Jebel Ali (AED 60,000 a year), against the median sold price. Few homes are for sale against the pace of sales, so a home at the right price sells quickly. That is a steady record. I would buy for rent and a long hold, not for a quick resale.”

Resale and off-plan prices by bedroom
Resale = a completed home sold on. Off-plan = a home sold before the tower is complete, by the developer or by an earlier buyer (a Land Department "delayed sell"). The two are different markets, so we never mix them in one price. Sold = median price of sales in the 12 months to 26 Oct 2026. Asking and rent = live listings on 7 Oct 2026. Counts are in brackets. A sold median needs 10 sales, an advert median 3 adverts.
Sale counts for this building are a floor: some Land Department sales of its project cannot yet be placed in one building.
| Type | Resale: sold | Resale: per sq ft | Median asking | Rent a year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-bed | AED 560,000 (11) | 757 | – (0) | – (0) |
| 2-bed | – (under 10) | – | – (1) | – (1) |
Sold prices: Land Department sale records to 26 Oct 2026, BUY DUBAI facts cube. Asking and rent are adverts, not contracts.
Sales we leave out of every median, count and chart (1 of 47 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 (1). They stay in the list below with a label.
Too few resale sales to state a yearly change
Median AED 770 per sq ft in the 12 months to 26 Oct 2026 (18 resale sales). A like-for-like yearly change needs at least 10 sales of the same bed size in each of the two 12-month periods.
Too few quarters with sales to draw a chart.
