Meydan City Residential Market Report H1 2026

Meydan City continued its rapid transformation during the first half of 2026, emerging as one of Dubai's most dynamic residential investment destinations. The market recorded 1,496 residential transactions worth AED 2.95 billion, driven largely by the launch of Mercedes-Benz Places Binghatti City, which introduced a new ultra-prime segment and reshaped pricing across the district.

The launch accounted for 1,216 off-plan transactions, representing nearly 89% of all off-plan activity, while branded residences achieved prices between AED 3,500 and AED 3,800 per square foot. Meanwhile, the secondary market remained resilient, with resale prices increasing 13.5% year-on-year despite a decline in resale volumes, highlighting strong long-term demand and limited ready inventory.

Meydan City's rental market also demonstrated solid fundamentals, supported by 90.1% apartment occupancy and new lease rates averaging 14.9% higher than renewals. Value-focused communities such as Jude Residence and the Azizi Meydan Avenue corridor continued to offer some of the district's strongest rental returns, with gross yields reaching up to 8.8%, making them attractive options for income-focused investors.
