Only 1 ready sales registered in 5 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 Jumeirah Village Triangle is working from a handful of deals.

What that does to the yield
41 registered retail leases in Jumeirah Village Triangle clear a median of AED 189,150 per year on 774 sqft — that is 208 AED/sqft. The tenant pays that rate regardless of when the building was finished. So the purchase price is the only variable.

8.9%
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 8.9% but zero.

Questions people actually ask

Answered from the register, not from a brochure
How much does a retail unit cost in Jumeirah Village Triangle?
Across 15 registered sales between January and July 2026, the median was AED 2,677,540 at 2,325 AED/sqft. 14 of those were off-plan stock, clearing AED 2,733,270 at 2,338 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 a retail unit in Jumeirah Village Triangle actually achieve?
41 registered leases show a median of AED 189,150 per year on a median 774 sqft, which is 208 AED/sqft/year.
What yield will a retail unit in Jumeirah Village Triangle produce?
Against the registered rate of 208 AED/sqft, off-plan stock at 2,338 produces roughly 8.9% 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 a retail unit more expensive per foot than an apartment in Jumeirah Village Triangle?
Yes — 2,325 against 1,675 across 1,697 registered apartment sales, so 1.39 times. Commercial foot sits above the residential one here, which is worth checking before you assume one is the cheaper way into the district.
How does Jumeirah Village Triangle compare with other Dubai retail unit districts?
Jumeirah Lakes Towers 1,967 across 35 deals, Dubai Marina 2,108 across 16 deals, Al Satwa 3,878 across 11 deals, Jumeirah Village Circle 2,197 across 94 deals. Jumeirah Village Triangle registered 15 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. Retail means PROP_TYPE Unit with sub-type Shop: 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.
