Methodology & caveats
- Whole-asset leases are a separated rental domain describing larger leased assets; read them independently from unit-level market rents.
- Contract count, total value and average contract value are the primary measures on this page.
- These separated rental domains use contract-based metrics and the same rental colour treatment throughout.
- Area rates are shown only where the contract includes a usable area figure.
- AED/sqft is converted from AED/sqm (1 sqm = 10.764 sqft).
