Current Apartment Prices: What DLD Transactions Show in Q2 2026
Dubai Land Department Q2 2026 transaction records for Rashid Yachts and Marina show one-bedroom apartments completing at AED 1.55M–AED 2.35M and two-bedrooms at AED 2.2M–AED 3.6M. Price per square foot ranges from AED 1,950–AED 2,680, with marina-facing units on floors 15 and above commanding the upper end of the range. The eleven-tower masterplan includes Elara, Jera, Palace Residences (branded), Anwa Aria, Nad Al Sheba, and six additional towers across Phase 1 and Phase 2 — each with slightly different specification levels and marina-view availability ratios. Palace Residences — the Address Hotels-branded component — is transacting at a consistent 18–22% premium over non-branded equivalents in the same development due to the hotel services and lobby quality differential.
Berth Access: Who Gets Yacht Berthing and at What Cost
Rashid Yachts and Marina’s 430-berth marina is the operational core of the community’s lifestyle premium. Berths are not included in standard residential purchases — they are sold or leased separately. As of Q2 2026, marina berths available for purchase are listed in the range of AED 450,000–AED 1.2M depending on berth size (accommodating vessels from 10–35 metres). Annual berth leasing is available at AED 85,000–AED 220,000 per year for equivalent berth dimensions. Residential buyers who do not own a yacht still benefit from the marina lifestyle — the promenade, the yacht club facilities, the waterfront dining, and the guaranteed open water views that the marina basin preserves — but berth ownership or leasing is a separate cost not embedded in the apartment purchase price.

Rental Yields: What Completed Towers Are Delivering in 2026
Ejari-registered leases from Q1–Q2 2026 in completed Rashid Yachts and Marina towers show one-bedroom apartments renting at AED 130,000–AED 185,000 annually on long-term leases and AED 165,000–AED 245,000 gross on managed short-term holiday rental platforms at 75–85% occupancy. Against purchase prices of AED 1.55M–AED 2.35M, gross yields on long-term leases range from 5.5–7.7%. Palace Residences branded units achieve the strongest short-term rental premiums — AED 400–AED 850 per night depending on unit size and season, supported by the Address Hotels reservation system. This branded channel access is the primary yield differentiator between Palace Residences and non-branded tower inventory in the same development.
What Early Buyers Have Earned: Pre-Handover to Q2 2026
Rashid Yachts and Marina Phase 1 units launched in 2020–2021 at AED 1,050–AED 1,450 per square foot. The same units are completing secondary market resales at AED 1,950–AED 2,680 per square foot in Q2 2026 — appreciation of 85–96% from the lower end of launch pricing over approximately five years. Elara and Jera tower buyers who entered at launch have seen the strongest returns — their towers completed first and have the longest post-handover rental history, enabling buyers to demonstrate income yield to subsequent purchasers and command resale premiums accordingly.
