Gross yield is a year's rent before costs, as a share of the price. At the from price: AED 75,000 ÷ AED 777,777 = 9.6%. 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.

Exotica by Al Marina, an 18-storey Al Marina Investment building in Jumeirah Village Circle, has 1- and 2-bedroom apartments from AED 777,777. Its from price per square foot is about 12% below 38 similar one-bedroom sales in this project (12 months to October 2026), and the listed handover of December 2025 has passed.
The listed handover is December 2025, which has passed, so that date may be out of date; ask the developer. Ask Al Marina Investment whether the building is complete and for a copy of the completion certificate. If it is not, get the new handover date in writing.
The price check puts the from price per square foot about 12% below 38 similar one-bedroom sales in this project over the 12 months to October 2026. The check compares price per square foot, not total price. Ask for the price per square foot of the exact unit and whether the from price is still available.
The listing gives no payment plan, so ask us for the current payment plan before you pay a deposit. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 31,111; ask when it is due. The homes are freehold.
One-bedroom homes run from about 590 to 1,253 sq ft and two-bedroom homes from about 1,141 to 1,363 sq ft. Shared facilities include steam and sauna rooms, a Zen garden, a pool, a gym and a children's play area.
