Gross yield is a year's rent before costs, as a share of the price. At the from price: AED 98,000 ÷ AED 1,720,000 = 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.

DG1 Living is a DarGlobal apartment building in Business Bay with one- to three-bedroom homes from AED 1,720,000 and a listed handover of December 2026. The from price is about 7.6% below 773 similar one-bedroom sales in Business Bay (12 months to October 2026), and with the listed handover next month you should ask for the completion certificate before you pay.
The from price is about 7.6% below 773 similar one-bedroom sales in Business Bay (12 months to October 2026). The check compares price per square foot, not total price. These are area sales, so compare the floor and view you are offered.
The plan is 20% on booking, 50% during construction and 30% at handover. At the from price that is AED 344,000 to book, AED 860,000 during the build and AED 516,000 at handover. Because the listed handover is next month, ask when the 50% construction payment falls due. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 68,800; ask when it is due.
The building has 20 floors, and the architecture is by Gensler. Homes range from about 721 to 1,582 sq ft across one to three bedrooms. Every home has a balcony, and the three-bedroom layouts add a maid's room. The listing names no shared facilities, so ask for the full list and the service charge.
The developer says the building will sit along the Dubai Water Canal. A clinic is about 140 m away and Business Bay Metro Station about 1.2 km, around 3 minutes by car. Dubai International School is about 1.4 km away, and Horizon English School and JSS School are each about 1.7 km.
The developer's plans. Sizes and layouts can change; ask us for the plan of the exact unit you're looking at.
