James Paul Booth
The agent's view
“In Town Square, renewal costs less. A new tenant pays 8% more for the same 1-bed. Already here? Renew. Moving in? Offer at the AED 105 a sq ft new tenants signed, not the AED 110 the adverts ask.”

What the leases say about Town Square

6,231 Ejari leases 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026, and 900 adverts. Each finding has its chart below.

  1. New 1-bed rents fell 1.4% this year, like for like. Median new 1-bed: AED 58,000 in 2024, AED 60,000 in 2025, AED 63,000 in 2026 (1 Jan–15 Oct each year). Dubai, like for like: −5.4%.
  2. 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 8% more than a tenant who renews. That is about AED 4,308 a year on a typical renewal rent of AED 56,000. The table above gives AED 63,000 new against AED 55,000 renewal. This is because the table mixes cheap and expensive buildings. The same-building figure is the fair test.
  3. Adverts ask 5% over signed. A 1-bed advert asks AED 110 a sq ft; the 765 new 1-bed leases of 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026 were signed at AED 105. Offer at the signed figure.
  4. Cheapest 1-bed for its size: Rawda Apartments, AED 88 a sq ft, the median of its 149 1-bed leases (typical rent AED 64,000). The median 1-bed lease in Town Square is AED 100 a sq ft.
  5. Same size for less nearby: a new 1-bed in Arabian Ranches II, 5 km away, costs AED 55,000 for 534 sq ft. That is AED 8,000 a year less than in Town Square.

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.

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 6,231 in Town Square, and 2,795 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 Town Square by the building or community name in the advert. There are 900 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.
