One- and two-bedroom flats, with handovers listed for 2029 and 2030. Facts last verified 12 November 2026 against the sources listed at the end. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Emirate | [Dubai](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai) | | Area type | master community | | Tenure | Freehold for all nationalities | | Master developer | [Sobha Realty](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/sobha-realty) | | Also known as | Sobha Central Sheikh Zayed Road, Sobha Central JLT, Sobha Central Jebel Ali | | Coordinates | 25.0613, 55.1333 | | Developments covered | 4 | ## Overview Sobha Central is a mixed-use development by [Sobha Realty](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/sobha-realty) on Sheikh Zayed Road, next to [Jumeirah Lake Towers](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/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. ## Who it suits - Investors wanting one- and two-bedroom flats near a metro station - Renters working in JLT, Dubai Marina or the Jebel Ali free zone - Buyers who want shops, a gym and offices in the same building - Buyers comfortable waiting until 2029 or 2030 ## Highlights - About two minutes from Jebel Ali metro station (Sobha) - Mall, offices, supermarket, gym and prayer hall at podium level (Sobha) - About 12 to 13 minutes by car to JLT, Dubai Marina and JBR (Sobha) - Six towers sold separately, so buyers can choose by height and handover date - Single developer for the whole scheme ## Considerations - Six towers of mostly one- and two-bedroom flats completing close together will compete for the same tenants - Handover dates on Property Finder run from late 2029 to mid 2030; none is stated on Sobha's own pages - Property Finder marks some towers sold out while Sobha's listing still shows prices; confirm availability with the developer - Sheikh Zayed Road frontage brings traffic noise; ask which side and floor a unit faces ## Drive times - Jebel Ali metro station: about 2 minutes - Jumeirah Lake Towers: about 12 minutes - Dubai Marina: about 13 minutes - JBR: about 13 minutes ## Developments in Sobha Central - [The Eden at Sobha Central](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/sobha-central/the-eden-sobha-central): Sobha Realty; Sobha Central, Dubai; under construction; handover Q4 2029; from AED 1,720,000 (as of 2026-11-12) - [The Horizon at Sobha Central](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/sobha-central/the-horizon-sobha-central): Sobha Realty; Sobha Central, Dubai; under construction; handover Q4 2029; from AED 1,920,000 (as of 2026-11-12) - [The Mirage at Sobha Central](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/sobha-central/the-mirage-sobha-central): Sobha Realty; Sobha Central, Dubai; under construction; handover Q1 2030; from AED 2,010,000 (as of 2026-11-12) - [The Pinnacle at Sobha Central](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/sobha-central/the-pinnacle-sobha-central): Sobha Realty; Sobha Central, Dubai; under construction; from AED 1,780,000 (as of 2026-11-12) ## Nearby areas - [Jumeirah Lake Towers](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/jumeirah-lake-towers) - [Dubai Marina](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-marina) - [Al Furjan](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/al-furjan) - [Palm Jebel Ali](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/palm-jebel-ali) ## Questions and answers ### Where is Sobha Central?
