Only 0 off-plan sales registered in 7 months — below the ten-deal threshold at which a median means anything. So this page publishes ready stock only. Anyone quoting you a off-plan comparable in Dubai Silicon Oasis is working from a handful of deals.

What that does to the yield
885 registered office leases in Dubai Silicon Oasis clear a median of AED 100,000 per year on 1,006 sqft — that is 97 AED/sqft. The tenant pays that rate regardless of when the building was finished. So the purchase price is the only variable.
Ready @ 1,052
9.2%
Vacant lets higher than tenanted. The 885 contracts split: 360 new leases at a median 110 AED/sqft, 525 renewals at 89. A ready unit bought empty and let at the new rate reaches 10.5%; the same unit bought with a sitting tenant on a renewal delivers 8.4%. That 2.0-point spread separates two purchases that look identical in a listing.
Gross, before service charge, vacancy, and agency cost — a ceiling, not a forecast.

The entry point is where most assumptions break. A tenth of registered sales here cleared under AED 528,398, and the top decile starts at AED 1,615,000 — a 3-fold range inside one district and one segment. A quoted “Dubai Silicon Oasis price” without a size attached to it is not information.

Silicon Information Technology Tower alone took 17 of the 68 ready sales — 25% of that side of the district in a single project. Concentration like this matters: when one building sets the median, the “district price” you are quoted is really that building's price.

Questions people actually ask

Answered from the register, not from a brochure
How much does an office cost in Dubai Silicon Oasis?
Across 68 registered sales between January and July 2026, the median was AED 1,048,714 at 1,051 AED/sqft. 68 of those were ready stock, clearing AED 1,048,714 at 1,051 AED/sqft. The other side of the market is too thin here to publish a median against — which is itself worth knowing before you buy.
What rent does an office in Dubai Silicon Oasis actually achieve?
885 registered leases show a median of AED 100,000 per year on a median 1,006 sqft, which is 97 AED/sqft/year. The number splits: 360 new leases sign at 110 AED/sqft, 525 renewals sit at 89 — a vacant unit lets for more than a tenanted one delivers.
What yield will an office in Dubai Silicon Oasis produce?
Against the registered rate of 97 AED/sqft, ready stock at 1,051 produces roughly 9.3% gross. Both are before service charge, vacancy and agency cost, so treat them as ceilings rather than forecasts.
Is an office more expensive per foot than an apartment in Dubai Silicon Oasis?
No — 1,051 against 1,152 across 842 registered apartment sales, so 0.91 times. Commercial foot sits below the residential one here, which is worth checking before you assume one is the cheaper way into the district.
How does Dubai Silicon Oasis compare with other Dubai office districts?
Trade Centre Second 4,772 across 76 deals, Arjan 1,075 across 72 deals, Jumeirah Village Circle 1,508 across 67 deals, International City Phase 1 1,541 across 48 deals. Dubai Silicon Oasis registered 68 sales in the period. Depth matters most when you want to sell: a district with hundreds of comparables gives a valuer something to work with, a district with a dozen does not.
You have the district's numbers. Now the one that matters: is the price you were quoted the price this market pays?

Methodology. Every figure is AED per square foot. The DLD export records area in square metres — median 79.0 across the file — and is converted at 10.764 sqft/m², with the unit decided once for the dataset rather than row by row. Offices means PROP_TYPE Unit with sub-type Office: the sub-types labelled “Commercial” and “Industrial” in DLD data are almost entirely land, and mixing them in drags the commercial median from 3,302 to 1,919 across Dubai. USAGE_EN is not used to classify sales — every office in the file is tagged “Residential” in that column. Duplicate transaction numbers are collapsed after filtering to Sales, and Mortgage and Gift registrations are excluded. Rent covers 1 January – 14 July 2026 and comes from registered Ejari contracts, filtered to PROP_TYPE Unit above 200 sqft and AED 30,000 to strip flexi-desks and business addresses. Ejari carries no contract number, so lease records are never de-duplicated: identical amounts registered in the same batch are separate units in separate buildings, and collapsing them understates the median rate by 9%. DLD records sales under marketing district names and Ejari under official community names; the two are matched through shared project names, never by hand. Medians throughout, never averages. Districts below 10 registered sales get no page. Registered transactions only: this is what was paid, not what was asked.
