Overview

The first tower of Sobha Central on Sheikh Zayed Road near JLT: one- and two-bedroom apartments from AED 1.92 million, on a 20/40/40 plan with completion listed for December 2029.

The Horizon is the first of the six towers to be built at Sobha Central, the mixed-use scheme by Sobha Realty on Sheikh Zayed Road beside Jumeirah Lake Towers, in the area Property Finder records as Jebel Ali 1. Sobha places it by the interchange that serves JLT and the road towards Bluewaters, and says no other towers stand within 500 metres of it, which it presents as the basis for open views. Its lift lobbies link to two neighbouring towers and to the podium, where the scheme's mall, cinema, gym, prayer hall and supermarket are planned.

The tower holds one- and two-bedroom apartments. Sobha's plans show one-bedroom homes of 568 to 695 sq ft and two-bedroom homes of 936 to 1,346 sq ft, balconies included. Sobha's listing card now quotes sizes from 694.9 sq ft to 1,554 sq ft. The lower figure matches the largest one-bedroom plan, which suggests the smaller layouts have sold, and the upper figure is larger than any plan Sobha publishes, so ask for the plan behind any unit offered.

On 12 November 2026 Sobha listed The Horizon from AED 1.92 million to AED 4.51 million. Property Finder, which shows stock available, still carries launch figures of AED 1.68 million for one bedroom and AED 2.48 million for two. The gap between the two sources shows how far the entry price has moved since launch.

Property Finder gives the plan as 20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% on handover. Construction is recorded from May 2025 and completion is expected in December 2029.

The Horizon suits buyers who want a new flat on the Sheikh Zayed Road corridor with the metro close by: Sobha gives about 2 minutes to Jebel Ali Metro Station and 12 to 13 minutes to JLT, Dubai Marina and JBR. What to weigh is supply. Sobha Central alone adds six towers of mostly one- and two-bedroom flats, and they complete within months of each other, so rents and resale prices at handover will depend on how quickly that stock is absorbed.

Buying costs

Government fees are paid on top of the purchase price. This is the position for the entry-level home; costs scale with price. In Dubai the registration authority is the DLD.

Purchase priceEntry 1-bedroom apartment at The Horizon at Sobha CentralAED 1,920,000
DLD transfer fee (4%)Paid to the Dubai Land Department on registration. The department lists it as 2% from each party, but contracts almost always pass the full 4% to the buyer, so a developer's '50% DLD waiver' means the developer is paying its own listed half. Off-plan, it is paid when the sale is registered in the Oqood system.AED 76,800
Oqood registration admin feeOqood portal fee of AED 1,000 plus knowledge and innovation fees, for registering the off-plan sale contract.AED 1,020
Estimated total to completeAED 1,997,820about £409K

Developers may add their own administration charge on off-plan sales. It is set by the developer, not the land department, so it is not included in this estimate: ask for it in writing before you reserve. Adjust the assumptions in the buying cost calculator.
