Sobha Realty, a leading global luxury real estate developer, has launched Sobha Central, its newest landmark masterplan development on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai. Backed by the developer’s unique Backward Integration Model, which brings together different business verticals under one roof, including design, construction, production facilities, and facility and community management, the six-tower project will deliver a mix of 1,225 one- and two-bedroom residences upon completion. Sobha Central’s first tower is slated for delivery in December 2029.
The six towers are seamlessly linked by an elevated circulation path that connects residents to an array of indoor amenities, including gym, theatre, and clubhouse, and more. This pathway extends to select lift cores, providing direct internal access to a shopping mall, restaurants, supermarkets, and a Grand Hall for the convenience of both the residents and the surrounding community. The project delivers mixed use versatility with residential, retail, healthcare, and office offerings. It features 175,000 square feet of leasable office spaces and 160,000 square feet of retail spaces including an in-built mall. The integrated retail podium also delivers a car-free luxury shopping & dining experience right at the residents’ doorsteps.
Mr. 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.”
Outdoors, residents can access private themed courtyards within a central park. They can also enjoy over 250,000 square feet of open space, with amenities such as landscaped terraces, infinity pools, wellness lounges, and recreational decks.
Strategically located along the spine of Dubai, Sobha Central offers exceptional connectivity to beaches and major destinations nearby like JBR, Dubai Marina, Dubai Internet City, and Dubai Media City, enhancing both lifestyle and investment value.
“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,” added Ravi Menon.
In line with Sobha Realty’s commitment to sustainable, forward-thinking development, Sobha Central incorporates eco-smart solutions such as double-glazed façades, energy-efficient HVAC systems, EV charging stations, and advanced district cooling. The use of locally sourced materials further reduces environmental impact and reinforces the brand’s responsible design ethos.
