The price of renting an apartment in Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah can vary up to $800k a year, according to new research by Arabian Business.
The lowest priced rental is now just $17k a year for a 548 square foot studio flat – $31 per square foot. The Palm’s most expensive rental is $817k a year, for a four bedroom penthouse in Andaz Hotel.
But with the penthouse covering only 3,133 square feet, it equates to $260 per square foot.
Another penthouse in the FIVE Hotel is priced at $477k for the year, but at only 780 square feet comes to a staggering $611 per square foot.
The huge rental prices come as Dubai property sale prices rose in August according to new data from property consultancy CBRE.
It said that average apartment prices were 7.7 percent higher annually in August while villa prices rose by 15.8 percent annually.
On a monthly basis, apartment prices were up 0.5 percent compared with July and villa prices rose by 0.3 percent.
