Wolfie’s take

Dubai Science Park offers some of the better gross rental yields in Dubai (commonly quoted in the 6.5-8% band on studios and 1-beds) thanks to a built-in tenant base from its science and pharma employers and consistently high occupancy. Entry prices are affordable relative to Downtown and Marina, and off-plan phases give exposure to further appreciation, but investors should note the community has no direct metro access and is apartment-dominated, so it suits income and value plays more than trophy-asset buyers.
