Gross yield is a year's rent before costs, as a share of the price. At the from price: AED 58,500 ÷ AED 718,000 = 8.1%. 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.

Cresswell Residences is an Esnaad apartment building in Dubai South, with one- to three-bedroom homes from AED 718,000. The listed handover is December 2025, which has passed, so it may be out of date; ask the developer.
