About the project

Sobha Central is an active mixed-use residential development by Sobha in Jebel Ali First, on Sheikh Zayed Road. The masterplan comprises six high-rise residential towers above an integrated retail podium, with community spaces and landscaped leisure areas. The project has 2,022 apartments (+147 non-residential units) and a scheduled completion date of 31 December 2031; its recorded completion ratio was 0.00% on 16 January 2026.

A six-tower residential masterplan

Sobha Central is planned as a six-tower residential address within Jebel Ali First. The towers sit above an integrated retail podium, bringing residential, retail and communal functions together within the same masterplan. Community zones, landscaped leisure areas and communal open spaces form part of the scheme. The development has a total recorded area of 184,070.59 square metres and 2,022 apartments (+147 non-residential units). Buildings publicly launched within Sobha Central include Tranquil, Serene, Horizon, Eden and Mirage. The project’s built form combines high-rise homes with a podium designed to accommodate retail and day-to-day services, including a supermarket.

Residence formats and an advertised home

Sobha Central is a residential apartment project. Project materials describe flexible apartment layouts and identify balconies, powder rooms, maid rooms and separate store rooms among the layout options. An advertised one-bedroom apartment is priced at AED 1,520,000 and measures 568 square feet, with two bathrooms. This residence is offered with a 20% booking payment. The project’s recorded total of 2,022 apartments (+147 non-residential units) reflects the scale of the wider six-tower development rather than a single building.

Facilities across the podium and open spaces

The community facilities described for Sobha Central include a business centre, fitness areas, prayer halls and a supermarket.

These elements are integrated with the retail podium and the development’s shared open spaces.

Prayer halls are also included among the listed facilities.
