A resale studio in Madison Columbus sells for about AED 485,000
Median of 5 resale studio sales in the 12 months to 23 Oct 2026 (6 resale sales of all sizes). Last sale in the tower: 13 Oct 2026.
- The developer says
- Madison Columbus is part of a low-rise Majan community whose buildings take their architecture from 20th-century Manhattan. As given on dubricks.com
- The market says
- 6 resales of all sizes in 12 months at AED 909 per sq ft (+27% in a year); a higher price than 11% of Majan towers; owners who sold gained 18.4% a year and 0% sold at a loss.
“Owners who sold in Madison Columbus made 18.4% a year, and none of the 5 on record sold at a loss. A studio gives a gross yield of about 9.3% on the median signed Ejari rent for a studio in Majan (AED 45,000 a year), against the median sold price. For me that is a strong record for Majan. 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, 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 23 Oct 2026. Asking and rent = live listings on 7 Oct 2026. Counts are in brackets. A median needs 5 sales or 3 listings.
| Type | Resale: sold | Resale: per sq ft | Rent a year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | AED 485,000 (5) | 928 | – (1) |
| 1-bed | under 5 (1) | – | – (0) |
Rents in this table are asking rents (adverts). The yield in the headline is the signed Ejari rent divided by the median resale price, before service charge.
Sales we leave out of every median, count and chart (0 of 33 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.
Resale price per sq ft rose 27% in a year
