New Projects in Al Furjan, Dubai

Yes. Al Furjan’s investment case rests on three measurable factors: metro connectivity, above-average rental yields and sustained price appreciation. Apartments in the district delivered yields of approximately 7,72% in 2025, above the Dubai-wide apartment average. Residential values increased by approximately 10–18% in 2025. New off-plan launches in Al Furjan, particularly branded and fully furnished projects, entered the market at price-per-sqft levels below ready comparables in the same corridor. The combination of Route 2020 metro access, proximity to Expo City and JAFZA, and growing supply of turnkey branded stock positions Al Furjan as a mid-market investment district with stronger-than-average income credentials.

Gross rental yields for apartments in Al Furjan range from approximately 6,5% to 8%, depending on unit size, project quality, furnishing standard and proximity to metro stations. Studios and one-bedroom units in branded, fully furnished projects typically achieve yields at the upper end of this range, reflecting faster leasing cycles and reduced vacancy periods. Branded residences command rental premiums over unfurnished non-branded equivalents in the same district, as tenants assess the property as move-in-ready on day one. Properties within walking distance of Discovery Gardens or Al Furjan metro stations historically achieve rental premiums of up to 8% compared to non-metro-adjacent units in the same community.

Yes. Al Furjan is a designated freehold zone in Dubai, permitting full ownership by non-UAE nationals and non-GCC residents without restriction. The title deed is issued by the Dubai Land Department (DLD). Foreign buyers are entitled to the same ownership rights as UAE nationals within freehold-designated areas: the right to sell, lease or transfer the property without requiring a local sponsor or partner. The standard government fee is a 4% DLD transfer fee, applied once on the purchase price. There is no annual property tax, no capital gains tax and no rental income tax applicable to residential property in Dubai.

The primary acquisition cost beyond the purchase price is the 4% DLD transfer fee, paid once at the point of title registration. There is no annual property tax in Dubai, no rental income tax and no capital gains tax on disposal. Additional standard fees include a property registration fee and, for off-plan purchases, a registration fee to RERA. Dubai imposes no stamp duty equivalent. This regulatory structure means the recurring cost of holding property in Al Furjan is limited to service charges set by the building’s management, which vary by project.

Yes, subject to meeting the minimum investment threshold. Property purchases with a total value of AED 2 million or more qualify for UAE Golden Visa eligibility, granting a 10-year renewable residency visa. The visa applies to the investor and may be extended to immediate family members. Multiple properties can be combined to reach the AED 2 million threshold. Several new off-plan projects in Al Furjan offer unit configurations priced at or above the AED 2 million level, making Golden Visa eligibility achievable within a single purchase depending on the unit type and floor selected.

A fully furnished, turnkey off-plan unit eliminates the capital outlay and time required to furnish and fit out a property before it can generate rental income. At handover, a branded furnished residence is immediately occupiable or lettable, with no gap between key collection and first rental payment. For investors, this compresses the payback period relative to an unfurnished unit. Branded furnished stock in Al Furjan also commands rental premiums over unfurnished equivalents, as tenants assess the quality and immediate usability of the interior as part of their leasing decision.

Direct metro access on the Route 2020 Red Line provides a measurable value uplift for properties in Al Furjan and Discovery Gardens. Properties within walking distance of metro stations in Al Furjan have historically achieved rental premiums of up to 8% over non-metro equivalents in the same district. Metro access also reduces vacancy risk by expanding the tenant pool to include professionals who commute without a car, a significant segment of Dubai’s expatriate workforce. Trussardi Residences Phase I and Richmond District are positioned within walking distance of the Discovery Gardens Metro Station, which directly influences their leasing competitiveness against non-metro-adjacent stock in the broader Jebel Ali corridor.
