The average can be skewed by one particularly low or high price.

Jumeirah Village Triangle Attracts New Development Amid Strong 9% Yields
You're reading Entrepreneur Middle East, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Jumeirah Village Triangle (JVT) has recently seen robust growth in rents and investment returns. In 2024, apartment rentals in JVT jumped by over 20% year-on-year, and gross rental yields for studio and 1‑bed apartments are around 9%. This high-yielding environment, along with ongoing infrastructure and community upgrades, has made JVT increasingly attractive to both tenants and investors. The area is also expected to benefit significantly from Dubai's 2040 Urban Master Plan, with the upcoming Blue & Purple Line metro extension set to increase connectivity and further enhance accessibility to and from JVT. SOL Properties has launched its latest mixed-use development – SOL Levante – in JVT to capitalize on these trends. The AED 1 billion development spans a U-shaped tower with four Grade A office podium levels offering approximately 100,000 sq ft of office space, along with 50,000 sq ft of retail space, and 20 residential floors. Slated for completion in Q3 2028, SOL Levante will feature 600 residential units, including studios, one-bedroom, up to three-bedroom apartments. Studio prices start from AED 736,000. The tower's U-shaped design maximises natural light and creates a seamless indoor–outdoor living experience. A 50,000 sq ft podium of the building hosts world-class amenities. Residents will enjoy a temperature-controlled adult pool and separate kids' pool, an indoor gym and outdoor fitness zones, Padel tennis, plus an outdoor cinema and mini‑golf course for recreation. Social and leisure facilities include a jacuzzi, BBQ and dining areas, a pet park, sunken gardens and children's playroom, as well as co-working spaces and event rooms to foster community life. Ajay Bhatia, CEO of SOL Properties, said, "SOL Levante will provide residents with an exceptional lifestyle, combining tranquillity, convenience, and connectivity to major road networks, Al Maktoum International Airport, and the upcoming Blue & Purple Line Metro." He notes that "Jumeirah Village Triangle is rapidly becoming one of Dubai's most sought-after locations, with continuous development and enhanced infrastructure adding value for both residents and investors. This reinforces the confidence of end users and investors in securing some of the highest rental returns in the city, reaching up to 9% annually." The launch of SOL Levante comes amid a buoyant Dubai market. City-wide data show that Q1 2025 saw median apartment asking prices in Dubai rise by about 12% year-on-year, underscoring strong buyer appetite. In this context, SOL Levante's sub-AED 736,000 entry price for studios and extensive amenities aim to meet the city's demand for modern yet affordable residences. With SOL Properties' 50-year track record (over 250 projects) and a focus on wellness and design, SOL Levante is positioned to make an impact in JVT's evolving real estate landscape.

OpenAI Raises USD 8.3 Bn at USD 300 Bn Valuation
Earlier in March, OpenAI had raised USD 2.5 billion and was expected to collect an additional USD 7.5 billion by the year's end. You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. OpenAI, the AI company behind ChatGPT, has secured USD 8.3 billion in a fresh funding round, valuing the firm at USD 300 billion, according to The New York Times. The round is part of OpenAI's broader goal of raising USD 40 billion this year and was completed ahead of schedule. Earlier in March, OpenAI had raised USD 2.5 billion and was expected to collect an additional USD 7.5 billion by the year's end. However, increased investor demand allowed the company to finish this stage sooner than planned. The latest funding was led by Dragoneer Investment Group with a USD 2.8 billion investment. Other major participants include Blackstone, TPG, T. Rowe Price, Altimeter Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Coatue Management, D1 Capital Partners, Fidelity Management, Founders Fund, Sequoia Capital, Tiger Global, and Thrive Capital. Reports indicate that some existing investors received smaller allocations than anticipated to accommodate new strategic backers. The fundraising comes amid significant growth in OpenAI's business performance. The Information estimates the company's annualised revenue at around USD 12 billion, while The New York Times places the figure closer to USD 13 billion. ChatGPT now records over 700 million weekly active users, reflecting its widespread adoption. Projections suggest that OpenAI could achieve USD 20 billion in annualised revenue by the end of 2025. At the same time, the company has revised its projected cash burn for 2025 to USD 8 billion, up from a previous estimate of USD 7 billion. The second stage of the USD 40 billion fundraising is already in motion, with approximately USD 7.5 billion in commitments secured. This includes renewed investments from Sequoia Capital and Tiger Global. SoftBank, which began investing in the company in late 2024, has committed a total of USD 32 billion. OpenAI continues to maintain a close relationship with Microsoft, which has integrated its technology into various products. The company is also exploring new commercial and strategic partnerships, which could lead to updates in its collaboration with Microsoft.
