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 1,920,000 to AED 2,480,000 (published figure, 12 November 2026) | | Average price per sq ft | AED 3,015 | | 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 Horizon is the first of the six towers to be built at [Sobha Central](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/sobha-central), the mixed-use scheme by [Sobha Realty](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/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. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1-bedroom apartments | AED 1,920,000 | | 568 to 695 sq ft | | available | | 2-bedroom apartments | AED 2,480,000 | | 936 to 1,346 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 ### 20/40/40 - Down payment: 20% (On booking) - During construction: 40% - On handover: 40% (Q4 2029 (Property Finder)) Paid before handover: 60%. ## What works - First tower of the Sobha Central scheme, with lift links to the podium mall and two neighbouring towers - About two minutes from Jebel Ali Metro Station on Sobha's figures - Sobha says no other towers stand within 500 metres, which supports open views - Sheikh Zayed Road address close to JLT, Dubai Marina and JBR ## What to weigh - Entry price has risen from about AED 1.68 million at launch to AED 1.92 million; the remaining one-bedroom stock appears to be the largest layout - Sobha's top quoted size (1,554 sq ft) is not matched by a published plan - Six towers of similar flats at Sobha Central complete around the same time - 40% of the price is due on handover in late 2029 - Traffic noise from Sheikh Zayed Road; ask about orientation and floor ## Location Within Sobha Central on Sheikh Zayed Road beside Jumeirah Lake Towers, 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 - Cinema - Gym - Prayer hall - Supermarket - Office space ## Questions and answers ### What is the starting price at The Horizon, Sobha Central?
