What the leases say about Dubai Investment Park 2
2,556 Ejari leases 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026, and 250 adverts. Each finding has its chart below.
- New 1-bed rents rose 14.9% this year, like for like. Median new 1-bed: AED 50,000 in 2024, AED 55,000 in 2025, AED 60,000 in 2026 (1 Jan–15 Oct each year). Dubai, like for like: −5.4%.
- Renewing a 1-bed is cheaper than moving. We compare a 1-bed in the same building with a size within 15%. A new tenant pays a median 37% more than a tenant who renews. That is about AED 16,110 a year on a typical renewal rent of AED 43,890. The table above gives AED 60,000 new against AED 46,200 renewal. This is because the table mixes cheap and expensive buildings. The same-building figure is the fair test.
- Adverts ask 13% over signed. A 1-bed advert asks AED 79 a sq ft; the 298 new 1-bed leases of 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026 were signed at AED 70. Offer at the signed figure.
- Cheapest 1-bed for its size: Dunes Village, AED 46 a sq ft, the median of its 399 1-bed leases (typical rent AED 43,832). The median 1-bed lease in Dubai Investment Park 2 is AED 56 a sq ft.

How we worked it out, and the limits
Updated 21 Oct 2026. Leases to 15 Oct 2026; adverts of 16 Oct 2026.
Leases. Source: Dubai Land Department Ejari rent contracts. We use homes only, one unit for each contract, starting 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026. There are 2,556 in Dubai Investment Park 2 (DAMAC Riverside), and 836 of them are new. Bedrooms come from the Ejari unit type. "3 bed" means 3 or more. Every rent is a median: half the leases are above it.
New and renewal. "New" is a new tenant or a new contract. "Renewal" is the same contract, renewed. Renewals are often registered weeks late. Thus the latest month shows too few renewals. Like for like means the same building, the same bedrooms and a size band 15% wide. Leases with no building name are left out of this test. A group needs 5 or more of each: new leases and renewals.
Adverts. We use active yearly rent adverts from listing sites on 16 Oct 2026. We put each advert in Dubai Investment Park 2 (DAMAC Riverside) by the building or community name in the advert. There are 250 adverts after we remove repeats. A repeat has the same building, bedrooms, size and price. One home can still show more than once. Thus "for rent now" is approximate. Adverts are matched to a building by name.
Not used. The Ejari nearest-metro field names a station but no distance, so we do not compare metro and non-metro homes here. Floor, view, parking and furnishing are not in the lease record.
