Only 0 ready sales registered in 6 months — below the ten-deal threshold at which a median means anything. So this page publishes off-plan stock only. Anyone quoting you a ready comparable in Trade Centre Second is working from a handful of deals.

What that does to the yield
283 registered office leases in Trade Centre Second clear a median of AED 487,800 per year on 1,626 sqft — that is 265 AED/sqft. The tenant pays that rate regardless of when the building was finished. So the purchase price is the only variable.

5.5%
New leases and renewals are not the same number. 94 new contracts sign at a median 335 AED/sqft; 189 renewals sit at 224. Which of the two you inherit depends on whether the unit comes vacant, and no listing tells you that.
Gross, before service charge, vacancy, and agency cost — a ceiling, not a forecast. And the caveat that matters: an off-plan unit earns nothing at all until handover, so its real first-years return is not 5.6% but zero.

Questions people actually ask

Answered from the register, not from a brochure
How much does an office cost in Trade Centre Second?
Across 76 registered sales between January and July 2026, the median was AED 23,851,300 at 4,772 AED/sqft. 76 of those were off-plan stock, clearing AED 23,851,300 at 4,772 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 Trade Centre Second actually achieve?
283 registered leases show a median of AED 487,800 per year on a median 1,626 sqft, which is 265 AED/sqft/year. The number splits: 94 new leases sign at 335 AED/sqft, 189 renewals sit at 224 — a vacant unit lets for more than a tenanted one delivers.
What yield will an office in Trade Centre Second produce?
Against the registered rate of 265 AED/sqft, off-plan stock at 4,772 produces roughly 5.6% gross. Both are before service charge, vacancy and agency cost, so treat them as ceilings rather than forecasts. And off-plan earns nothing at all until handover, which the percentage does not show.
Is an office more expensive per foot than an apartment in Trade Centre Second?
No — 4,772 against 5,235 across 53 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 Trade Centre Second compare with other Dubai office districts?
Barsha Heights 2,000 across 91 deals, Dubai Maritime City 3,707 across 88 deals, Arjan 1,075 across 72 deals, Dubai Silicon Oasis 1,051 across 68 deals. Trade Centre Second registered 76 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.
