Rental Yield for Administrative Offices in the New Administrative Capital

Before buying any administrative unit for investment, the essential question: how much will I earn from renting it?

Understanding rental yield and how to calculate it is the key to making a correct and profitable investment decision in the New Administrative Capital.

As ARX Development, we present in this guide a detailed explanation of rental yield for administrative offices, focusing on opportunities for administrative units in Kéntro Tower.

We'll explain how to calculate it using percentages, the influencing factors, and practical tips to increase your yield — all with objective information to help you decide.

How Is Rental Yield Calculated?

Rental yield is a simple but fundamental concept for every real estate investor.

Rental Yield Formula

Annual rental yield is calculated by the following formula:

• Annual rental yield = (annual rent ÷ unit purchase price) × 100.

• The result is a percentage expressing the return on capital.

• Illustrative example: if the yield is 10%, you recover your capital in 10 years from rent alone.

This percentage is the most important indicator for evaluating rental investment feasibility.

Types of Rental Yield

There are two types of rental yield to understand:

• Gross yield: annual rent divided by unit price (before expenses).

• Net yield: after deducting expenses (maintenance, management fees, taxes).

Net yield is the most accurate for evaluating the actual profit from your investment.

Total Return on Real Estate Investment

Rental yield isn't alone — real estate investment offers 3 types of returns:

1. Annual rental yield (regular income).

2. Capital growth (unit value increase over time).

3. Inflation protection (property is a tangible asset that retains its value).

When combining the three, the total return on real estate investment is very high.
