How we calculate these figures: asking rents and sale prices for office units in Dubai Silicon Oasis advertised on public listing portals on 4 October 2026. Figures are medians; the range is the middle half of listings. Business-centre desks and flexi offices are counted separately and left out of office figures. A unit advertised by several agencies is counted each time in the rent figures; the number of different offices is estimated by matching building, size and price. Asking prices can differ from signed rents and sale prices. Office space on the market adds up the size of each different office advertised for rent. Facts about the district (buildings, developer, landmarks) come from public sources and are shown only when two of them agree. Gross yield is the median asking rent per sq ft divided by the median asking sale price per sq ft.
