Overview

A 677-apartment tower of one-bedroom homes at the corner of Sobha Central on Sheikh Zayed Road. Property Finder lists it from AED 2.01 million on a 60/40 plan, with completion in early 2030.

The Mirage is the tower Sobha added to Sobha Central after the first towers of the scheme sold. When it launched The Mirage, Sobha Realty said more than 1,500 homes worth AED 3.5 billion had already been sold across the development. The tower has 677 apartments and stands at the corner of the site on Sheikh Zayed Road beside Jumeirah Lake Towers, in the area Property Finder records as Jebel Ali 1. Sobha says the wider scheme will have about 250,000 sq ft of open space, 175,000 sq ft of offices and 160,000 sq ft of retail and dining, including a mall, with two dedicated lanes on and off Sheikh Zayed Road.

Every home in The Mirage is a one-bedroom apartment with a powder room and balcony. Sobha publishes ten layout variants, from 648 to 783 sq ft. That is a narrow product: the tower is aimed squarely at investors letting to single professionals or couples.

The Mirage is not on Sobha's current list of properties for sale and its project page carries no starting price. Property Finder shows stock available from AED 2.01 million as checked on 12 November 2026, which is about AED 3,100 per sq ft on the smallest layout. Treat that as a guide and ask Sobha for the current price list.

Property Finder lists the payment plan as 60% during construction and 40% on handover. It records construction from November 2025 and gives the first quarter of 2030 for completion.

The location is the main argument for buying. Sobha gives about 2 minutes to Jebel Ali Metro Station and 13 minutes to Dubai Marina, and the mall, supermarket and gym are planned within the scheme. The main argument against is concentration: 677 near-identical one-bedroom flats in one tower, inside a development that has already sold more than 1,500 homes, will put many landlords in competition for the same tenants when it completes. Compare the price per sq ft with completed one-bedroom flats in JLT and Dubai Marina before committing.

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 Mirage at Sobha CentralAED 2,010,000

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 80,400

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 2,091,420about £429K

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.
