This implies a market capitalisation upon listing of AED 14.3 billion (USD 3.9 billion) and a gross dividend yield of 7.7% for 2025. The offering attracted strong demand across both institutional and UAE retail tranches, prompting the Fund Manager to increase the size of the Offering from 12.5% to 15.0% of Dubai Residential REIT's total issued unit capital. The total gross demand reached over AED 56 billion (USD 15 billion), resulting in an overall oversubscription of over 26 times at the final offer price. Reflecting the exceptionally strong demand, the final offer price was set at the top end of the price range, enabling the company to raise AED 2,145 million (USD 584 million) through the IPO.
