Completion is listed for December 2029. Facts last verified 13 November 2026 against the sources listed at the end. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Developer | [Sobha Realty](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/sobha-realty) | | Location | [Sobha Central](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/sobha-central) (Sobha Central), Dubai | | Status | under construction | | Developer's handover target | Q4 2029 | | Tenure | freehold | | Price | From AED 1,720,000 to AED 2,480,000 (published figure, 12 November 2026) | | Average price per sq ft | AED 2,811 | | Home types | 1-bedroom apartments, 2-bedroom apartments | | Buildings | 1 | | Golden Visa value test | Some homes are priced at or above AED 2,000,000 | ## Overview The Eden is one of six residential towers at [Sobha Central](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/sobha-central), the mixed-use development by [Sobha Realty](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/sobha-realty) on Sheikh Zayed Road beside Jumeirah Lake Towers. Property Finder places the site in Jebel Ali 1. The towers share a podium with a shopping mall, a multiplex cinema, a gym, a prayer hall, a medical clinic and a supermarket, and Sobha says The Eden's lift lobbies connect residents to these facilities under cover. The tower has one- and two-bedroom apartments only. Sobha's published plans show one-bedroom homes of 568 to 695 sq ft and two-bedroom homes of 956 to 1,202 sq ft, balconies included. Sobha's listing card quotes sizes from 599 sq ft, slightly above the smallest plan, so check the exact unit. On 12 November 2026 Sobha listed The Eden from AED 1.72 million to AED 3.47 million. Property Finder shows stock available, with an older starting figure of AED 1.59 million and two-bedroom homes from AED 2.48 million. At Sobha's entry price a 568 sq ft one-bedroom costs about AED 3,000 per sq ft; compare that with resale prices in neighbouring JLT and Dubai Marina before committing. Property Finder lists two plans: 60% during construction and 40% on handover, or 20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% on handover. Construction is recorded from June 2025, and completion is expected in December 2029. The practical draw is transport and convenience. Sobha gives about 2 minutes to Jebel Ali Metro Station and 12 to 13 minutes to JLT, Dubai Marina and JBR, and day-to-day shopping is in the building. That makes The Eden a fit for professionals working in Dubai Marina, Media City or the Jebel Ali free zone, and for investors targeting them. Against that, five sister towers and a number of other launches nearby will deliver large numbers of similar one- and two-bedroom flats at about the same time, and the 40% due on handover is a large sum to arrange. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1-bedroom apartments | AED 1,720,000 | | 568 to 695 sq ft | | available | | 2-bedroom apartments | AED 2,480,000 | | 956 to 1,202 sq ft | | available | Prices are published starting prices from the developer or Property Finder, as each type's note says, checked 12 November 2026. ## Payment plans ### 60/40 - Booking deposit and construction instalments: 60% - On handover: 40% (Q4 2029 (Property Finder)) Paid before handover: 60%. ### 20/40/40 - Down payment: 20% (On booking) - During construction: 40% - On handover: 40% (Q4 2029 (Property Finder)) Paid before handover: 60%. ## What works - About two minutes from Jebel Ali Metro Station on Sobha's figures - Covered lift access from the tower to a podium mall, supermarket, cinema, gym and clinic - Sheikh Zayed Road address next to JLT and Dubai Marina - Choice of a 60/40 plan or a 20/40/40 plan - Compact one-bedroom layouts suit the rental market for single professionals ## What to weigh - Six towers at Sobha Central, plus other launches nearby, will compete for the same tenants on completion - About AED 3,000 per sq ft at the entry price; compare with resale prices in JLT and Dubai Marina - Completion is not expected until December 2029 - 40% of the price is due on handover - Living beside Sheikh Zayed Road brings traffic noise; ask about orientation and floor ## Location Within Sobha Central on Sheikh Zayed Road beside Jumeirah Lake Towers, in the area Property Finder records as Jebel Ali 1, about two minutes from Jebel Ali Metro Station according to Sobha. - Jebel Ali Metro Station: about 2 minutes - JLT: about 12 minutes - Dubai Marina: about 13 minutes - JBR: about 13 minutes ## Amenities - Leisure pool - Outdoor gym - Outdoor cinema - Family barbecue and gathering space - Children's play area - Shopping mall in the podium - Multiplex cinema - Gym - Prayer hall - Medical clinic - Supermarket - Office space ## Questions and answers ### What is the starting price at The Eden?
