Off-plan property in Sobha Central

Sobha Central is a mixed-use development by Sobha Realty on Sheikh Zayed Road, next to Jumeirah Lake Towers. Property Finder places it in Jebel Ali 1. Sobha describes six residential towers set around elevated parks, with a shopping mall, office space, a co-working area, a supermarket, a commercial gym and a large prayer hall at podium level, so that day-to-day errands do not need a car.

Each tower is sold separately: The Eden, The Horizon, The Mirage, The Pinnacle, The Serene and The Tranquil. They offer mainly one- and two-bedroom apartments, which on Sobha's November 2026 listing started between about AED 1.72 million and AED 1.92 million. Property Finder gives handover dates of late 2029 for most towers and early to mid 2030 for The Mirage and the two phases of the wider scheme. Both Sobha and Property Finder describe the tallest tower as 360 metres and 95 floors.

The location is the main argument. Sobha's figures put Jebel Ali metro station two minutes away and JLT, Dubai Marina and JBR within about 12 to 13 minutes by car. That suits renters who work in the Marina, JLT, Dubai Internet City or the Jebel Ali free zone.

The counter-argument is volume. Sobha said it had sold about 1,500 homes at Sobha Central for AED 3.5 billion by the time The Mirage launched, and the six towers are almost entirely small units completing within months of each other. Expect competition for tenants and resale buyers when they are handed over.
