Tenant Profile and Rental Performance
Range completed Arjan and JVC projects attract a tenant pool of single professionals and young couples. Average lease tenure runs 1.4 years for studios and 1.8 years for two-bedrooms.
Gross rental yields on completed Range stock run 6.8 to 7.6 percent across Arjan and JVC. Net yield runs roughly 1.1 to 1.3 percentage points below gross after Mollak charges and management fees.
Comparison to Peer Mid-Market Developers
Range competes in the JVC and Arjan mid-tier segment.
| Developer | Project count | On-time delivery | Typical payment plan | Median per sqft (launch) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Range Developments | 6+ | 5.0 month avg slippage | 60/40 | AED 1,180-1,280 (JVC) |
| HRE Development | 6+ | 4.8 month avg slippage | 60/40 | AED 1,180-1,280 (JVC) |
| Karma Developers | 5+ | 5.4 month avg slippage | 60/40 | AED 1,150-1,250 (JVC) |
Range and HRE deliver near-identical pricing and similar delivery track records at the upper-mid quartile. Range has a stronger Arjan-and-Studio-City coverage than HRE; HRE has stronger Studio City-and-JVC presence. Buyers in specific sub-communities can lean toward whichever has the more specific local product.
The Legal Essentials
Off-plan purchases use Oqood-recorded SPAs registered with the DLD. On handover, individual title deeds issue to each unit owner. Range projects in Arjan, JVC, and Studio City sit inside designated Dubai freehold zones.
Buyer-borne transaction costs include the 4 percent DLD transfer fee, AED 580 admin fee, AED 4,200 trustee office fee, Oqood registration at AED 3,000, and approximately 2 percent agent commission where applicable.

Three Mistakes Buyers Make on Range Off-Plan
First, paying multiple milestones before verifying escrow draw-down against construction progress on Dubai REST monthly photo updates.
Second, accepting marketed launch-versus-resale spreads without verifying actual closed comparables in the same sub-community.
Third, ignoring the post-handover service charge schedule before committing. Mollak service charges in newer mid-rise towers can run AED 15 to 18 per square foot in the first three years.
