Sobha Realty has announced the launch of Sobha Central, a major new masterplan development along Sheikh Zayed Road.
The vertical residential hub will feature six premium towers and aims to integrate living, working, and retail spaces in one connected urban community.
1,225 homes planned at Sobha Central
The project begins with 1,225 one- and two-bedroom apartments, designed to offer accessibility, functionality, and investment potential. The first tower is expected to be completed by December 2029.
Commenting on the launch, Ravi Menon, Chairman of Sobha Group, said: “Sobha Central is a bold expression of our vision to shape the future of urban living in Dubai. Strategically located on the most powerful corridor of the Middle East – Sheikh Zayed Road, this development goes beyond architecture to create a self-sustained high living community that blends design, connectivity, and functionality.
“Every element reflects our “Art of The Detail” philosophy, an uncompromising commitment to quality and precision. With Dubai’s real estate market on an upward trajectory, Sobha Central caters to the evolving aspirations of modern homeowners and investors seeking long-term investment value in a vibrant, central location.”
Integrated urban features
The six towers will be linked by an elevated circulation path, offering residents access to indoor amenities such as a gym, clubhouse, theatre, and direct internal entry to a shopping mall, restaurants, and a Grand Hall. The development includes retail, healthcare, and office space, with a car-free podium level for dining and luxury shopping.
Green spaces and connectivity
Outdoors, Sobha Central will feature private themed courtyards within a central park, in addition to over 250,000 sq. ft. of open space. Sky-level facilities include infinity pools, landscaped terraces, and wellness decks. Its location provides direct access to nearby districts such as Dubai Marina, JBR, and Dubai Media City.
The development incorporates double-glazed façades, energy-efficient cooling, EV charging points, and locally sourced materials, aligning with Sobha’s focus on sustainable design.
Ravi Menon added: “Recent industry reports highlight Marina, JLT and surrounding corridors among Dubai’s most resilient sub-markets, recording rental yields of 7–10% and consistent capital appreciation; positioning Sobha Central as a prime asset for both end-users and investors.”
