Dubai’s offices and shops recorded higher rental yields compared to the rest of Dubai’s real estate units during the third quarter of 2026, according to a recent report by Windmills Group, which specializes in real estate valuation, assets and technical survey of buildings, based in the UAE.
The report showed that the average rental yield of shops in Dubai during the third quarter of 2026 was 8.5%, while the average return on office rent was 8.2%, compared to 7.7% on the rent of apartments in Dubai and 7% of the rental yield for villas.
The report, which reviews the performance of Dubai’s real estate market during the third quarter of 2026, showed that apartment revenues increased from 7.5% in 2025 to 7.7% in 2026, and villa yields increased from 6.8% to 7%, by 0.2 percentage points each.
The return of shops exceeded the apartments by 0.8 percentage points, and the villas by 1.5 percentage points, while the returns of the offices exceeded their counterparts to apartments by half a percentage point, according to the figures contained in the report.
According to the group, the total value of sales and mortgage transactions in Dubai amounted to about $ 38.4 billion (AED 141 billion) during the third quarter of 2026.
Bilal Moti, Chairman and Group CEO, said that investors’ interest is shifting from rapid gains to sustainable income and long-term wealth creation, considering that this trend reflects the maturity of the real estate market.
On the level of price segments, the report pointed out that real estate worth less than about $ 817 thousand (3 million dirhams) accounted for the majority of cash sale transactions, while deals worth more than $ 8.17 million (30 million dirhams) contributed a large share of the total value of transactions.
According to the report, Dubai South topped the trading activity during the third quarter, followed by Business Bay, Wadi Al Safa 4, Al Barsha South 4th and Palm Jumeirah.
The report pointed to the continued interest of buyers in real estate ready for direct occupancy or rental income, in parallel with the sale activity on the map supported by flexible payment plans put forward by the developers. It also monitored the reduction in the price difference between ready-made properties and their counterparts under construction.
In the industrial sector, the report reported that rental values remained higher than the levels of the corresponding periods of 2025 during the first three quarters of 2026, attributing this to demand related to e-commerce and logistics, and the limited supply of high-quality modern warehouses.
