Property Finder lists it from AED 2.01 million on a 60/40 plan, with completion in early 2030. 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 | Q1 2030 | | Sales launched | 2025-11 | | Tenure | freehold | | Price | From AED 2,010,000 (Property Finder listing, 12 November 2026) | | Average price per sq ft | AED 3,102 | | Home types | 1-bedroom apartments | | Total units | 677 | | Buildings | 1 | | Golden Visa value test | Some homes are priced at or above AED 2,000,000 | ## Overview The Mirage is the tower Sobha added to [Sobha Central](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/sobha-central) after the first towers of the scheme sold. When it launched The Mirage, [Sobha Realty](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/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. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1-bedroom apartments | AED 2,010,000 | | 648 to 783 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% (Q1 2030 (Property Finder)) Paid before handover: 60%. ## What works - About two minutes from Jebel Ali Metro Station on Sobha's figures - Part of a mixed-use scheme with a planned mall, offices and 250,000 sq ft of open space - Corner position on Sheikh Zayed Road with dedicated access lanes, according to Sobha - One-bedroom layouts of 648 to 783 sq ft suit the rental market for single professionals ## What to weigh - 677 one-bedroom flats in one tower, inside a scheme that has sold more than 1,500 homes, means heavy competition for tenants at handover - Sobha publishes no starting price; the AED 2.01 million figure is Property Finder's - Not on Sobha's current list of properties for sale, so confirm availability - About AED 3,100 per sq ft at Property Finder's entry price - Completion is not expected until early 2030, with 40% due on handover ## Location At the corner of 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 - Dubai Marina: about 13 minutes - Dubai International Airport: about 29 minutes ## Amenities - Leisure pool - Jacuzzi - Calisthenics gym - Family barbecue and gathering space - Picnic lawn - Dog park - Shopping mall in the podium - Office space ## Questions and answers ### How many apartments are in The Mirage?
