What the leases say about Meydan One
12,144 Ejari leases 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026, and 6,823 adverts. Each finding has its chart below.
- New 1-bed rents fell 6.8% this year, like for like. Median new 1-bed: AED 80,000 in 2024, AED 85,000 in 2025, AED 80,000 in 2026 (1 Jan–15 Oct each year). Dubai, like for like: −5.4%. The table above (AED 82,000) covers the 12 months to 15 Oct 2026.
- Renewing costs about the same as moving. We compare homes in the same building, with the same bedrooms and a size within 15%. New and renewing tenants pay within 1% of each other. This uses 67 matched groups and 1,139 renewals.
- Adverts ask 2% under signed. A 1-bed advert asks AED 127 a sq ft; the 3,491 new 1-bed leases of 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026 were signed at AED 129. Recent tenants signed for more than adverts ask now, so an advert at the asking price is not dear here.
- Cheapest 1-bed for its size: Gemini Splendor, AED 100 a sq ft, the median of its 19 1-bed leases (typical rent AED 85,000). The median 1-bed lease in Meydan One is AED 130 a sq ft.
- Same size for less nearby: a new 1-bed in Port Saeed, 10 km away, costs AED 40,000 for 564 sq ft. That is AED 42,000 a year less than in Meydan One.
Finding
New 1-bed rents fell 6.8% this year, like for like in Meydan One.

- All Dubai, 1-bed: −5.4% like for like
Same weeks each year so the season does not skew it. New leases only: renewals follow the market with a lag. The change compares the same building, bedrooms and size band in both years; the medians can move differently because the mix of homes changes.
Finding
In Meydan One new and renewing tenants pay about the same for the same 1-bed.
New lease over renewal, same building, bedrooms and size band, 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026

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 12,144 in Meydan One, and 8,791 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 Meydan One by the building or community name in the advert. There are 6,823 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.
