What Al Furjan Properties Are Trading For in Q2 2026
Dubai Land Department transaction records for Q2 2026 show Al Furjan apartments completing at AED 650,000–AED 980,000 for one-bedrooms and AED 950,000–AED 1.42M for two-bedrooms. Villas and townhouses in Al Furjan’s master-planned clusters — including Masakin Al Furjan, Quortaj, and Al Furjan West — are transacting at AED 2.15M–AED 3.2M for three-bedroom villas and AED 2.8M–AED 4.1M for four-bedroom standalone villas. Price per square foot ranges from AED 1,020–AED 1,280 for apartments and AED 750–AED 950 for villas — the villa pricing in particular remains significantly below comparable product in Arabian Ranches 3 (AED 1,020–AED 1,380) and Dubai Hills Estate (AED 1,450–AED 2,100) for equivalent bedroom configurations.
The Metro Effect: What Four Years of Station Access Has Done to Al Furjan Values
Al Furjan’s Route 2020 metro station — the Al Furjan station on the Expo Line — connects residents directly to Ibn Battuta Mall, Jumeirah Lake Towers, Dubai Marina, and onward through the Red Line to the wider metro network. Prior to station opening in June 2021, one-bedroom apartments in Al Furjan were transacting at AED 450,000–AED 580,000. By Q2 2026 the same units are completing at AED 650,000–AED 980,000 — appreciation of 44–69% from the pre-station price range. This performance validates the metro-proximity thesis and confirms that Al Furjan buyers who entered in 2020–2021, anticipating the station opening, captured the strongest portion of the appreciation curve. Buyers entering in 2026 are capturing the tail of that initial metro repricing but may benefit from a secondary wave of appreciation as the Route 2020 extension to Abu Dhabi under the Etihad Rail programme brings further connectivity upgrades to the corridor.

Rental Yields: What Ejari Data Shows for Al Furjan in 2026
Ejari-registered leases from Q1–Q2 2026 show Al Furjan one-bedroom apartments renting at AED 72,000–AED 95,000 annually — with newer 2022–2024 buildings commanding the upper range and pre-2018 stock at the lower end. Two-bedroom apartments are achieving AED 98,000–AED 135,000 annually. Against Q2 2026 purchase prices, gross yields on one-bedrooms range from 8.2–9.7% in new buildings — above JVC’s 8.5–9.5% average on equivalent stock — and 7.1–8.4% on two-bedrooms. Three-bedroom villas are renting at AED 155,000–AED 195,000 annually, delivering gross yields of 6.1–7.4% against current villa purchase prices. The apartment yield outperformance relative to comparable communities reflects the metro access premium that is now fully priced into tenant demand but not yet fully reflected in purchase prices.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1BR Apartment (new building) | AED 780,000–980,000 | AED 82,000–95,000 | 8.8–9.7% |

Why Al Furjan Still Trades at a Discount — and Whether That Changes
Al Furjan’s persistent pricing discount to JVC and Dubai Marina despite comparable or superior metro access has one primary explanation: the community’s eastern boundary runs adjacent to the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road highway, and several residential clusters face industrial or logistics land uses rather than community green space. Buyers who prioritise visual environment over commute access continue discounting Al Furjan relative to more aesthetically complete communities. This discount is unlikely to fully close until the Al Furjan community park expansion (Phase 2, targeting Q2 2027 completion) and the Tilal Al Ghaf retail and lifestyle corridor fully activates to Al Furjan’s southern boundary — both catalysts that buyers entering in 2026 are positioned to benefit from.
