Studio apartments for sale in Dubai Wharf currently start at close to AED 900,000, with available layouts running from roughly 644 sq ft to nearly 1,000 sq ft. Recent studio asking rates average about AED 1,295 per sq ft, while gross rental yield stands close to 6%.

Dubai Properties developed this four-tower project at Jaddaf Waterfront on Dubai Creek. That combination gives buyers something fairly specific: a completed waterfront home, larger-than-usual studio layouts and a purchase price that can stay below AED 1 million. Buyers considering a studio for sale in Al Jaddaf also get access to a central district near Dubai Healthcare City, Downtown Dubai and DXB.

This guide covers current prices, recorded sales, rental returns, layouts, service charges, location and nearby buildings so you can judge the property from actual numbers rather than the asking price alone.

Dubai Wharf Studio Prices in 2026

The Dubai Wharf studio price requires a little more effort than reading the first figure on a listing. Asking prices currently run from roughly AED 900,000 to AED 990,000, but Dubai Wharf has a broad studio size range. That changes the value calculation considerably.

Recent transaction records give buyers a useful reference. A 663 sq ft Tower 2 studio sold for AED 870,000 in May 2026, equal to about AED 1,312 per sq ft. Another 666 sq ft studio changed hands for AED 830,000 in April at roughly AED 1,247 per sq ft.

Current asking stock can cost more. A 942 sq ft unit, for example, has been marketed at AED 989,999, or only about AED 1,050 per sq ft. So the more expensive apartment can actually offer cheaper floor space.

Twelve-month listing data puts the median studio asking price at about AED 950,000 and the average price per square foot at AED 1,295. Buyers looking beyond one project can compare other studio apartments for sale in Dubai before deciding whether Dubai Wharf’s larger floor plans justify the budget.

Rental Yields on Dubai Wharf Studios

Rental income is where studio apartments for sale in Dubai Wharf become more interesting for investors. Current market data places the gross studio yield at approximately 6.07%, compared with roughly 5.6% for Al Jaddaf.

Actual 2026 contracts give that percentage more context. A 663 sq ft Tower 2 studio secured a new 12-month tenancy at AED 60,000 in August 2026. Another 666 sq ft studio recorded a renewed annual contract at AED 51,700 in September. Active asking rents for studios currently stretch from around AED 59,900 to AED 70,000.

That is a wide enough spread to make the purchase price important.

These are gross calculations. They do not account for service charges, maintenance, vacancy, management fees or differences between asking rent and a signed tenancy contract.

A buyer paying AED 950,000 and collecting AED 60,000 has a very different investment from someone paying the same amount but accepting AED 52,000. Check competing Dubai Wharf apartments for rent alongside recent tenancy contracts before building an income forecast.

Studio Layouts and Which Dubai Wharf Tower to Choose

Current resale stock points strongly toward Tower 2 for studio buyers. The building carries layouts from roughly 644 sq ft upward, and some studios extend beyond 900 sq ft. Driven Properties has also marketed 671 sq ft and 875 sq ft units in this tower.

That difference deserves attention. Current data for Al Jaddaf places the average studio size around 474 sq ft. An 875 sq ft Dubai Wharf studio therefore gives the buyer hundreds of additional square feet compared with a typical studio listing in the district.

The extra area does not automatically make every large unit a better purchase. Buyers should inspect where those square feet actually go.

• Check how much area belongs to the balcony or terrace
• Look at the usable distance between the sleeping and living zones
• Inspect wardrobe and storage capacity rather than relying on the floor plan
• Compare pool, internal, promenade and canal orientations
• Check whether the kitchen position reduces usable living space
• Confirm tenancy status before calculating immediate rental income

The Dubai Wharf Tower 2 studio market also shows why price per square foot can expose a better deal. A 942 sq ft apartment near AED 990,000 may cost far less per square foot than a 650 sq ft unit marketed only AED 40,000 cheaper.

Buyers can review available Dubai Wharf Tower 2 inventory before comparing individual layouts.

About Dubai Wharf at Jaddaf Waterfront

Dubai Wharf occupies a waterfront position within Culture Village at Jaddaf Waterfront. Dubai Properties developed the project as four residential towers accompanied by ground-level retail and spaces along the creek promenade.

That creek frontage changes the character of the project. Residents can walk along the water and reach restaurants and local retail without depending on a car for every short trip. Jameel Arts Centre and Mohammed Bin Rashid Library are also close to the development.

The location places Palazzo Versace nearby, with Dubai Festival City across Dubai Creek. Dubai Healthcare City lies a short drive away. For people who work around Healthcare City, Downtown or the airport corridor, that geography can be more useful than a long list of building amenities.

Buyers searching for Dubai Wharf Dubai Properties should also consider the advantage of buying into a completed project. You can inspect the exact apartment, see its actual view, review the tenancy and calculate service charges from its registered area before making an offer.

If the developer forms part of your buying criteria, reviewing other Dubai Properties projects can also show how Dubai Wharf compares with the developer’s wider portfolio.

Service Charges and What They Do to Your Return

Gross yield looks attractive on a listing page. Net income tells the owner what the property produces after recurring building costs.

A current 942 sq ft Tower 2 listing shows a service charge of AED 20.01 per sq ft. Applied to different Dubai Wharf studio sizes, that rate changes the annual cost quite quickly.

Take a 668 sq ft Al Jaddaf studio apartment bought for AED 950,000. At AED 60,000 annual rent, its gross yield comes to roughly 6.32%. Subtract approximately AED 13,367 in service charges and AED 46,633 remains before maintenance, vacancy, property management and other ownership costs.

Now consider the larger 942 sq ft layout. Its lower purchase price per square foot looks attractive, but the greater floor area pushes the annual service-charge calculation higher. That is why buyers should compare net rental income alongside space and purchase price.

Before committing to a unit, check the building and unit information against the Dubai service charge index rather than carrying a generic Al Jaddaf rate into the calculation.

Location and Connectivity From Dubai Wharf

Al Jaddaf has developed into a useful middle ground between central Dubai and the older Creek districts. Dubai Wharf occupies the waterfront side of it, which gives residents quick road access without putting them deep inside Downtown traffic.

Dubai Healthcare City lies nearby. Dubai International Airport can usually be reached in roughly 10 to 15 minutes by car under lighter traffic, while Downtown Dubai is around 12 to 15 minutes away. Dubai Festival City is also close across the creek.

Travel times depend on traffic and should be treated as planning ranges.

There is another point investors sometimes miss. Tenant demand does not come only from people wanting waterfront living. Employees working around Healthcare City, Downtown and the airport corridor can use Al Jaddaf as a central rental base without paying for a Downtown address.

Buyers comparing apartments in Al Jaddaf should therefore compare commuting distance, apartment size and building age together, rather than ranking projects by price alone.

Dubai Wharf vs Nearby Al Jaddaf Buildings

The best comparison is not always another waterfront project. A buyer with AED 900,000 to AED 1 million can encounter older ready apartments, compact newer studios and off-plan stock within the same search.

Dubai Wharf stands apart because of its large ready studio layouts. Boutique XII tends to offer more compact units, while Riah Towers can also provide generous floor areas. Art Bay represents newer stock, and Palazzo Versace belongs to a much higher-priced branded category.

These properties should not be treated as interchangeable simply because they share an Al Jaddaf address. The comparison needs to account for age, completion status, usable area, view, service charges and achievable rent.

A buyer who wants to widen the search beyond studios can review Dubai Wharf apartments for sale and compare studio pricing with one- and two-bedroom stock in the same development.

What Recent Transactions Tell Buyers

Asking prices show what owners want. Completed transactions show what buyers have actually paid, and the difference can become useful during negotiation.

Dubai Wharf recorded 20 residential sales during the latest 12-month market window. Among the identifiable 2026 studio transactions, Tower 2 recorded a 666 sq ft sale at AED 830,000 in April and a 663 sq ft sale at AED 870,000 in May. Those deals worked out at approximately AED 1,247 and AED 1,312 per sq ft.

Compare those numbers with active studio asking prices near AED 900,000 to AED 990,000. The gap does not mean every seller will negotiate back to an earlier transaction price. Floor, view, furnishing, tenancy and apartment condition can justify differences. It does give the buyer a starting point for questioning an ambitious asking price.

This is where Al Jaddaf sold prices become more useful than another portal listing. A buyer can check what changed hands before deciding how aggressively to negotiate.

How to Compare Two Dubai Wharf Studios Properly

Two studios can carry almost identical asking prices and still produce different ownership results. An AED 930,000 apartment at 650 sq ft and an AED 980,000 apartment at 875 sq ft should not be compared only by the AED 50,000 difference.

Start with five calculations:

1. Price per square foot: Divide the purchase price by the registered area
2. Gross yield: Divide expected annual rent by the purchase price
3. Annual service charge: Apply the confirmed building rate to the exact unit area
4. Income after service charges: Deduct the annual building charge from rent before comparing units
5. Comparable sale price: Check recent transactions for similar floor areas in the same tower

Then inspect what the spreadsheet cannot tell you. A better canal outlook may support stronger resale demand. A huge terrace can look impressive on paper but contribute less to daily living than additional internal floor area. A tenant paying below current market rent can also change the first-year investment result.

Recent Dubai rental transaction data can help separate advertised rent from figures recorded in actual tenancy activity.
