Rabdan Gates in Majan

One-bedroom apartments span 80.73 to 86.31 sqm and are listed from AED 1.09M to AED 1.18M, placing entry-level stock at approximately AED 13,500 per sqm on the smaller floor plans. Two-bedroom units run 110.74 to 117.15 sqm at AED 1.51M to AED 1.52M — a compressed band that leaves almost no pricing differentiation between the lower and upper end of that tier. Across both configurations, the overall PSM range of AED 12,946 to AED 13,991 sits well below Rabdan's own Jumeirah Gardens and Meydan launches, and broadly in line with comparable Majan off-plan inventory for the same unit categories.

The 5% buyer-side fee applies to all transactions and is standard across Rabdan's active portfolio. On a one-bedroom purchase at AED 1.09M, that adds approximately AED 54,500 in acquisition cost before Dubai Land Department registration fees — a meaningful differential against Binghatti Skyflame's 3% structure in the same district. With 384 tracked transactions attached to Rabdan Gates, buyer activity is above average for a Majan pre-completion launch of comparable scale. Construction was recorded at 0% as of the February 2026 data capture; buyers should monitor progress directly with the developer against the Q2 2028 commitment before any stage payment falls due.

Majan sits within the Mohammed Bin Rashid City and Dubailand corridor along Emirates Road, adjacent to Al Barari to the west. Downtown Dubai is approximately 25 minutes by car under normal traffic; Dubai Hills Mall around 20 minutes; Global Village under 10 minutes. No direct metro station serves Majan, and none is scheduled within the Q2 2028 delivery window — car dependency is structural for this district and should be priced into any yield projection.

Completed one-bedroom stock in Majan in the 60 to 80 sqm range has recorded gross rental yields of 6 to 8%, with annual rents running approximately AED 55,000 to AED 75,000 for well-managed units. Net yields typically sit 1.5 to 2 percentage points below gross after service charges, property management fees, and vacancy provision. The heavier risk for Rabdan Gates investors is supply-side: a dense cluster of 2027–2028 handovers across Majan — including Binghatti Skyflame, Bottega 33, and Dugasta's Al Haseen Residences series — will test whether rental absorption keeps pace with new inventory. Buyers assessing a buy-to-let strategy should weigh Majan's maturing retail and amenity base against the more established mid-market corridors where tenant demand and infrastructure are already proven.

Rabdan Real Estate Developments has no completed Dubai buildings on public record, making this a first-cycle developer assessment for every buyer. All four active projects — Rabdan Gates, Rabdan Gardens, Rabdan Square, and Gharbi 2 — are running simultaneously at early construction stages.

Rabdan Gardens in Jumeirah Gardens targets Q1 2028, one quarter ahead of Rabdan Gates. One-bedrooms are priced from AED 1.755M at AED 24,765 to AED 25,122 per sqm — nearly double the Majan per-sqm rate, reflecting the Sheikh Zayed Road corridor premium. Unit sizes (69 to 70 sqm) are smaller than Rabdan Gates one-bedrooms despite the substantially higher price point, making the Majan entry more efficient on a cost-per-sqm basis for buyers focused on floor space.

Rabdan Square in Meydan targets Q4 2027 — the earliest handover in the Rabdan portfolio — with one-bedroom pricing from AED 1.69M and two-bedrooms from AED 3.075M. PSM across the project runs AED 16,154 to AED 26,726, reflecting both Meydan's location premium and significant variance across floor plans and floors.

Gharbi 2 Residences in JVC is the one Rabdan project that provides observable delivery data: it is currently tracking 3.86% behind its Q3 2027 target. That slip is not severe but it is the earliest available signal on Rabdan's construction execution. Buyers weighing off-plan against ready stock should treat Gharbi 2's schedule as a live reference point when assessing the credibility of Rabdan Gates' Q2 2028 commitment.

Binghatti Skyflame is the strongest direct competitor for Rabdan Gates one-bedroom buyers in Majan. Studios start at AED 712,000 and one-bedrooms run AED 1.1M to AED 1.26M, targeting a Q4 2027 handover — six months ahead of Rabdan Gates. The 3% buyer-side fee versus Rabdan's 5% closes the headline price gap on a total-cost basis. Binghatti's documented on-time delivery record in Dubai gives Skyflame a credibility advantage that Rabdan cannot yet match, and for buyers where timing and developer confidence carry equal weight to price, Skyflame is the harder case to displace.

Bottega 33 by Arete Developments shares the Q2 2028 handover quarter, offering a direct same-timeline comparison in Majan. Pricing is listed on request rather than published, and a 6% buyer-side fee sits above the Majan market average. Gross yields of 7 to 9% have been cited for comparable Majan stock, but the district's dense delivery pipeline makes those figures optimistic without verified pre-leasing demand data behind them.

Paradise View II by Dugasta Properties is located in Majan but carries a critical qualification: its original handover target was Q3 2019 and the project remains substantially overdue. This is not a viable off-plan comparison — buyers should only consider it after confirming a completion certificate and clean title deed status directly with the Dubai Land Department. It should not influence pricing expectations for currently active Majan launches.

For buyers open to all active projects beyond Majan, JVC and Dubai Hills off-plan inventory at the AED 1.1M to AED 1.5M price point for one-bedrooms generally offers stronger established infrastructure, broader tenant demand, and a more competitive developer field against which Rabdan Gates can be accurately benchmarked.
