Gross yield is a year's rent before costs, as a share of the price. At the from price: AED 73,000 ÷ AED 1,275,033 = 5.7%. The home earns nothing until the keys, and new buildings often rent for more than older ones.
Rents come from Ejari, Dubai's register of rent contracts: new residential contracts in the area, all buildings. A median is the middle one: half are lower, half higher.

Century is an AMBS Real Estate Development building in Business Bay with studio to two-bedroom homes from AED 1,275,033 and a listed handover of June 2026. That date has passed and may be out of date, so ask for the completion certificate and confirm how the handover payment works.
The listed handover, June 2026, was five months ago, so it may be out of date. Ask AMBS whether the building has its completion certificate and for the current handover date. The listing states freehold ownership.
The plan is listed as 20% on booking, 20% during construction and 60% at handover. At the from price that is AED 255,007, AED 255,007 and AED 765,020. The listing also describes 40% of the price as payable over two years after handover, which does not match this plan. Get the current schedule in writing before you sign. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 51,001; ask when it is due.
The listing gives studios, one-bedroom homes of about 708 sq ft and two-bedroom homes of about 1,110 sq ft. It gives no studio size, and the overall range is 708 to 1,160 sq ft, so ask for the studio floor plan. Facilities include a pool, a gym, barbecue space and a kids' play area.
BIOS Clinic is about 730 m away and Hartland International School about 1.2 km, around 2 minutes by car. Downtown Dubai is about 2.0 km away, about 9 minutes by car. The nearest metro, Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall, is about 3.0 km away, around 8 minutes by car by our estimate.
