One and two-bedroom apartments sized 648 to 786 sq.ft, with floor-to-ceiling glazing framing views from the Arabian Sea to the Downtown Dubai skyline. Pricing from AED 1.95 million on a 60/40 plan with 20% on booking. Q1 2030 handover. Sobha Realty's Backward Integration Model behind every detail.
Sobha The Mirage is the flagship residential tower within the 16-acre Sobha Central master plan a 385-metre supertall building rising directly along Sheikh Zayed Road as one of the tallest residential structures on the corridor. The Mirage delivers approximately 1,000 exclusive 1 and 2-bedroom apartments. The building is part of a wider Sobha Central master plan that comprises 9 iconic residential towers (6 launched, 3 to come) connected via 11-floor podium spaces and landscaped skywalks. Sobha Realty was founded in 1976 by PNC Menon and is known for its Backward Integration Model a unique in-house construction approach where the developer manages design, engineering, manufacturing, and construction directly rather than through third-party contractors. This translates to material control from raw inputs to final finishes and is what underpins the brand's Art of Detail positioning.
Sizes are tuned for absorption rather than display. 1-bedroom apartments span 648 to 786 sq.ft, with multiple layout types (Type A through Type D). 2-bedroom apartments offer larger formats with sea-facing configurations available across the upper floors. Every unit features floor-to-ceiling glazing that captures panoramic views toward Dubai Marina, Jumeirah Islands, Bluewaters, the Arabian Sea, and the Downtown Dubai skyline. Living rooms open directly onto large balconies, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor space a defining feature of the Dubai high-rise lifestyle. Interiors carry custom-designed wooden joinery, smart-home automation for lighting, climate, and access control, and quality material finishes consistent with Sobha Realty's premium product positioning across the Sobha Hartland and Business Bay portfolios.
Sobha Central is a 16-acre mixed-use master plan designed as a self-contained vertical neighbourhood. The plan dedicates more than 250,000 square feet to landscaped green parks and courtyard gardens a meaningful open-space allocation for a Sheikh Zayed Road-frontage development where land economics typically favour density. Adjacent to the green spaces, a 160,000 square foot retail mall integrates daily-needs convenience, restaurants, and lifestyle retail directly within the community. Six residential towers have already launched, with three more in the pipeline. The towers connect via landscaped skywalks and elevated circulation paths allowing residents to traverse green spaces and open-air lounges between buildings without descending to ground level. The result is an urban ecosystem rather than a single isolated tower.
Two minutes' walk to a metro station on Sheikh Zayed Road. The address is the asset.
The amenity programme reflects The Mirage's positioning as the master plan's flagship. Pool and water: infinity leisure pools with skyline views, sun loungers, and shaded relaxation zones. Fitness: fully equipped gymnasium, calisthenic outdoor gym, climbing wall, yoga studio, dedicated wellness areas. Lifestyle: outdoor cinema, amphitheatre, leisure lounge, event lawn, business centre, seating tree courtyard, basketball and tennis courts. Family: children's play area, indoor and outdoor courtyards. Beyond the tower, the wider 16-acre Sobha Central master plan adds 250,000 sq.ft of landscaped parks and gardens, a 160,000 sq.ft retail mall, restaurants, and lifestyle services. The 24/7 security and concierge services operate at building level. Units valued at AED 2 million or above qualify for the UAE 10-Year Golden Visa most 1BR and all 2BR configurations cross that threshold automatically.
The Mirage's investment fundamentals are anchored on three structural advantages. First, location: a Sheikh Zayed Road address with direct metro walkability is among the rarest combinations in Dubai supply most SZR-frontage towers are car-dependent, while most metro-walkable apartments sit in JVC or JLT. Second, brand: Sobha Realty's Backward Integration Model has a track record of delivering quality product that maintains pricing power in the secondary market relevant for both rental yield and resale liquidity. Third, scarcity: 1,000 units is a substantial unit count, but distributed across multiple layout types, and the wider Sobha Central master plan has demonstrated sold-out launch performance across earlier towers. Capital appreciation is supported by SZR's enduring commercial relevance and the wider Sheikh Zayed Road residential premium. There is 0% capital gains tax and 0% income tax on rental returns. Sobha's escrow accounts are DLD-approved, operating under the RERA framework.
The Mirage operates on a 60/40 plan. Buyers pay 20% on booking, then 40% across construction milestones from 20% completion through to 80% completion (in 4 staggered 10% installments), with the final 40% balance due on handover in Q1 2030. The handover-weighted structure is meaningful: 40% of the purchase outlay is deferred to handover, reducing construction-phase capital deployment and aligning the balance payment with the point at which rental income becomes operational. For investors, the predictability of the 40/60 split allows clean cash-flow modelling against post-handover rental returns. Limited-time offers may include 40/60 payment opportunities for sea-facing 2-bedroom units confirm current launch terms with the Dubai Housing team. The plan is interest-free and operates under standard RERA-monitored escrow.
The Mirage is the flagship of a 9-tower master plan on Sheikh Zayed Road with metro walkability the kind of position that does not come back into supply once it sells. AED 1.95M entry into a Sobha-built supertall with 250,000 sq.ft of landscaped parks, a 160,000 sq.ft retail mall, and a private SZR ramp-in is structurally underpriced for the address. Speak to the Dubai Housing team now to confirm current availability and lock in your unit before subsequent Sobha Central tower launches reset the pricing band.
The Mirage's amenity offer is calibrated to the building's flagship status within Sobha Central. In-tower: infinity leisure pools with skyline views, fully equipped gymnasium, calisthenic outdoor gym, climbing wall, yoga studio, outdoor cinema, amphitheatre, leisure lounge, event lawn, business centre, basketball and tennis courts, dedicated children's play areas. Outdoor: landscaped courtyards, seating tree courtyard, BBQ pavilions, shaded relaxation zones. Beyond the tower, the wider 16-acre Sobha Central master plan adds 250,000 sq.ft of landscaped parks and courtyard gardens, a 160,000 sq.ft retail mall, restaurants, lifestyle services, and skywalk-connected access to the surrounding tower podiums meaning residents can traverse multiple amenity zones without descending to ground level.
