Office > Handover Q2-2029 > AED 21,000 × 80 months > Jabal Ali I Rent volume AED 74,760/ yearly

A 623 sq. ft. off-plan office at SAMANA Business Hub in Jebel Ali, Dubai, priced at AED 2.1 million. Confirm the unit number, registered area, floor, parking allocation, and delivery specifications against the developer’s documents.

2. How would this investment generate income?

The intended strategy is to lease the office to a business after handover, any necessary fit-out, and completion of leasing requirements. Rental income begins when a tenancy starts paying—not when you reserve the property.

3. How much capital do I need upfront?

The proposed 20% down payment is AED 420,000. This is the purchase deposit only; request a complete breakdown of registration costs, applicable taxes, administrative fees, and any other acquisition expenses.

4. What is my monthly commitment?

AED 21,000 per month for 80 months, totalling AED 1,680,000. Together with the deposit, the purchase payments total AED 2.1 million. Confirm the instalment dates and any additional milestones in the sales agreement.

5. How is the AED 74,760 annual rent calculated?

623 sq. ft. × AED 120 per sq. ft. per year = AED 74,760.

The monthly equivalent is AED 6,230. This calculation assumes a full year of occupancy at that rate, before expenses.

6. What gross rental yield does that represent?

Approximately 3.56% annually on the AED 2.1 million purchase price.

Gross yield is calculated before service charges, maintenance, management, leasing costs, vacancy, and acquisition expenses. Your net return would be lower.

7. Would the rent cover the monthly instalment?

No. In this scenario, the AED 6,230 monthly rental equivalent would cover approximately 30% of the AED 21,000 instalment.

During any period when rent and instalments overlap, the difference would be approximately AED 14,770 per month before property expenses. Plan for this funding requirement separately from your company’s operating cash.

8. When could rental income begin?

The target handover is Q2 2029, subject to confirmation. Allow additional time for inspection, fit-out where required, marketing, and tenant placement. There is no current rental income while the office remains off-plan.

9. Why would a business choose this office?

Assess the location against the tenant’s daily needs: client access, employee travel, parking, licensing suitability, and proximity to business activity.

Planned facilities such as meeting rooms, coworking spaces, and an Executive Business Club may support its appeal, but tenant demand must be tested against competing offices.

10. What should a CFO check before approving the purchase?

Compare the full acquisition cost, price per sq. ft., realistic net rent, and cash required throughout the payment plan.

At AED 2.1 million for 623 sq. ft., the purchase price is approximately AED 3,371 per sq. ft. Compare that with similar offices by size, location, specification, and payment terms—not just headline starting prices.

11. What could reduce the expected return?

Delayed handover, a longer leasing period, lower achieved rent, fit-out costs, service charges, maintenance, and tenant turnover could all affect returns.

Before committing, assess whether the investment remains manageable with lower rent and several months without a tenant.

12. What is my exit strategy?

Potential options include holding for rental income, selling when permitted, or assessing future occupation by your own business. Each depends on contractual conditions, suitability, and market demand.

Confirm resale restrictions, outstanding payment obligations, and selling costs before treating resale as a source of liquidity.

Request the numbers before making your move.

Ask ROYALITY REYALTY  for the unit floor plan, confirmed payment schedule, complete acquisition costs, service-charge estimate, and comparable rental evidence.
