The yield ladder
Source: Fam Properties analysis of Burj Crown secondary-market transactions. Yield steps down with unit size, in line with the typical Downtown pattern, but the 1-bedroom number (6.01%) is meaningfully ahead of comparable mid-tier Downtown towers.
| 1 Bedroom | ~6.01% |
|---|---|
| 2 Bedroom | ~5.84% |
| Building average | ~5.73% |
Why the yield is so strong
Three reasons. First, Burj Crown's entry-tier sale pricing keeps the denominator low — 1-bedroom averages around AED 1.92M versus AED 2.2M+ at Burj Royale for comparable size. Second, Boulevard frontage and Downtown walkability drive consistent tenant demand at competitive rental rates. Third, the smaller floor plates mean lower OA service charges per unit (in absolute terms), which protects net yield more than the gross headline implies.
Indicative rents and prices
Average sale prices reported across listing platforms: 1-bedroom average AED 1.92M, 2-bedroom average AED 3.30M. Sale ranges run wider: 1BR from AED 1.2M to 1.5M+, 2BR from AED 2.4M to 2.5M+, 3BR from AED 2.6M to 3.7M+.
| 1-Bedroom range | 1,200,000 – 1,500,000 |

Gross vs net for Burj Crown
Cost stack: OA service charge (lower band — accessible-tier positioning), agent commission (5% of annual rent for long-let), maintenance reserve, insurance. After those, expect 1-bedroom net yield around 4.6-4.9% — meaningfully above mid-tier Downtown net yields. Vacancy is the wild card; Boulevard frontage and accessible pricing have kept Burj Crown's rental market active.
Burj Crown's 1-bedroom gross yield is roughly 100 basis points above the Downtown apartment average — among the highest published yields in central Downtown.
