Sobha Verde Jumeirah Lake Towers Dubai

Verde by Sobha, also searched as Sobha Verde JLT, is Sobha Realty's first residential tower in Jumeirah Lake Towers, built on a plot developed with DMCC, the free zone that runs JLT. Sobha's page gives it 66 storeys; one tracker counts 68 plus a basement. It holds one to three-and-a-half-bedroom apartments with views over Jumeirah Islands, Emirates Hills and the Emirates Golf Club, and amenities on the podium levels.

The source listing prints no price. Property Finder starts it at AED 1.8 M (about Rs 4.63 crore), which a recorded one-bedroom sale of AED 1,864,715 in July 2026 backs. Construction began in April 2023, and handover is Q4 2026 on Sobha's materials, with Q2 2027 on some broker pages.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

The catalogue row has no price, so the rule is the latest starting price from the top sources. We print AED 1.8 M, Property Finder's start, because the most recent recorded one-bedroom sale, AED 1,864,715 in July 2026, sits within 4% of it. The launch one-bedroom was AED 1.69 M, so early buyers who resell at today's prices have made about 10%.

Two other figures are in print and both are real for some units. One broker lists a 1,036 sq ft one-bedroom from AED 2.4 M, a larger plan higher up, and one aggregator shows a resale floor of AED 1.6 M, which is likely a low-floor unit or an old listing. Sobha's price list for any unsold stock, and the DLD transaction record for resales, settle what a specific unit costs.

Against JLT

2026 area guides put JLT at an average of about AED 1,960 to 1,995 per sq ft. The recorded Verde sales at about AED 2,130 to 2,300 per sq ft are 7% to 15% above that, a normal premium for a new Sobha tower over JLT's 2000s-era stock. Compare MBL Signature, MAG's 27-floor tower in Cluster R: it starts lower with studios from AED 1.1 M at about the JLT average, but its handover is printed for 2028. Verde costs more per foot and asks you to wait far less.

Payment plan and total cost

Verde launched on a plan most pages print as 20/40/40: 20% on booking, 40% during construction, 40% at handover. One broker shows 10/70/20, and Sobha's marketing called it 80/20. With the tower in its last months, the plan matters less than the resale terms: most units now for sale are resales of launch contracts, and Property Finder alone shows more than 80 listings.

Worked example: a AED 1,800,000 one-bedroom resale with 60% paid

Sobha charges a transfer fee on off-plan resales; ask for it and for the statement of account before paying the seller. A broker adds 2% plus VAT, about AED 37,800. The AED 720,000 at handover can come from a UAE mortgage once the tower is complete, which is usually easier than funding off-plan.

Service charge. Not published for Verde. JLT towers run higher than low-rise communities because the shared plant is bigger, and a podium of pools, gym and sauna adds to it. The DLD's service-charge index on the Dubai REST app will carry the approved budget after handover; ask Sobha for its estimate now.

Location and connectivity

The Verde by Sobha address is in Jumeirah Lake Towers, opposite Cluster H on one broker page, in the DMCC free zone. The Sobha Verde location is the district's main draw: two Dubai Metro Red Line stations, DMCC and Sobha Realty, sit inside JLT. Dubai Marina and JBR are five to ten minutes away, Mall of the Emirates about twelve, Downtown twenty to twenty-five, and Dubai International Airport (DXB) about half an hour.

From the upper floors the tower looks over Jumeirah Islands, Emirates Hills and the Emirates Golf Club on the inland side of Sheikh Zayed Road. JLT itself is a dense mix of offices, apartments, cafes and lakes, with a large working population that keeps rental demand steady.

JLT is mostly built, but a handful of new towers are rising, including Danube's Viewz and MAG's MBL Signature, which will add supply over the next few years. For other options, see all Dubai projects we track or the full projects list.

Amenities and specifications

Sobha Verde amenities sit on the podium levels: swimming pools, a gym, sauna and steam rooms, barbecue spaces, a relaxation lounge, multipurpose halls and a children's play area, with F&B and retail at the ground level. Sobha builds in-house, from structure to joinery, which is the main reason buyers pay its premium.

The Sobha Verde floor plan runs from one-bedrooms of about 876 to 1,036 sq ft to two, three and three-and-a-half-bedroom layouts; one two-bedroom sale records 1,018 sq ft. The full size schedule is not published by the sources checked. The Sobha Verde brochure, including the brochure PDF brokers circulate, comes from Sobha's sales team; the floor plan attached to the SPA is what binds.

Verde by Sobha photos on Sobha's own pages are renders; with handover close, ask to see the finished show apartment or a completed floor before you buy a resale. Not published: appliance brands, parking per unit and the service-charge budget. Final specification as per the SPA.

About the developer

Sobha Realty was founded by PNC Menon and is known for building its projects itself rather than through contractors, from design to interiors. It reported AED 30 billion of sales in 2025, 30% more than the year before, and says it completed about 3,000 units ahead of schedule that year.

In 2026 Sobha plans to hand over a record 6,819 homes worth about AED 21.6 billion across Sobha Hartland, Sobha Hartland II, Sobha Reserve, Sobha One and Verde by Sobha. That puts the Sobha Verde delivery date firmly in its plans for this year. Its flagship Sobha Hartland community is home to more than 20,000 residents. Verde is Sobha's first JLT project, made possible by a deal with DMCC, which Sobha said would generate about AED 1.6 billion in sales.

For Indian buyers

Ownership. JLT is freehold for foreign buyers. Until handover your purchase is an Oqood record at the DLD; after completion the DLD issues the title deed in your name. The UAE has no annual property tax and no VAT on a residential sale; the government cost is the 4% DLD transfer fee, AED 72,000 on AED 1.8 M.

Remittance. Under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme each person can send USD 250,000 per financial year. The one-bedroom with fees is about AED 1.88 M, roughly USD 511,000, just above a couple's USD 500,000 in one year. The resale split helps: about USD 314,000 to the seller and fees now, and USD 196,000 to Sobha at handover, which may fall in the next financial year. TCS of 20% on remittances above Rs 10 lakh a year is adjusted against your income tax.

Golden Visa. The property route needs AED 2 million. A AED 1.8 M one-bedroom falls short; a two-bedroom clears it.

Rent and tax. 2026 area guides put JLT one-bedrooms at 6.5% to 8% gross and two-bedrooms at 6% to 7.5%; deduct service charge and vacancy for the net. The UAE levies no tax on the rent; an Indian tax resident declares it in India, with the 30% standard deduction, and reports the flat as a foreign asset.

Pros

• Two Dubai Metro Red Line stations in JLT, one of them named for Sobha
• Sobha's in-house construction and a record of on-time or early handovers
• Handover due in Q4 2026: the shortest wait of any off-plan JLT tower on our pages
• A recorded 1 BHK sale at about AED 2,130 per sq ft, near JLT's average for a new tower
• JLT one-bedrooms gross 6.5% to 8% on 2026 area guides

Cons

• Four starting prices in print, from AED 1.6 M to AED 2.4 M
• Total units, the full size schedule and the DLD number are not published
• Q4 2026 versus Q2 2027 in print, with an undated 61.68% progress report
• A large share of the tower is being resold (80-plus listings), which caps short-term gains
• JLT towers carry high service charges for their shared plant

Who this is for

• Investors who want a near-complete tower with metro access and a known developer
• Buyers who want keys in late 2026 or 2027 rather than 2028-2029
• Golden Visa seekers buying a two-bedroom above AED 2 M
• Couples whose LRS allowance covers about AED 1.9 M over two financial years

Who should look elsewhere

• Buyers who want a long developer plan - most of the plan has already been paid by sellers
• Anyone who will not verify the seller's paid-up amount with Sobha
• Studio budgets - Verde starts at one-bedroom
• Buyers who want a quiet, low-density community; JLT is a dense business district

Our verdict

Sobha Verde is the most nearly finished off-plan tower among our JLT pages, and that is its case. Sobha builds in-house and has a good delivery record, it counts Verde in its 2026 handovers, and the tower sits a short walk from a metro station in a district with deep rental demand. The price is harder to pin down: AED 1.6 M to AED 2.4 M are all in print for the entry unit, but a recorded sale at AED 1,864,715 in July 2026 backs Property Finder's AED 1.8 M start. At about AED 2,060 to 2,130 per sq ft that is close to JLT's average for new towers, not a bargain. Against MBL Signature, it costs more but hands over about eighteen months sooner.

A sensible buy for an investor or end user who wants a Sobha-built JLT one or two-bedroom with keys in late 2026 or 2027. Pay near the recorded AED 1.86 M for a one-bedroom rather than the AED 2.4 M quotes, confirm the seller's paid-up amount and Sobha's transfer fee, and check the escrow account. For a long payment plan or a studio budget, look elsewhere.

How many total units does Sobha Verde have?

None of the sources checked publishes the total unit count. Sobha put the project's expected sales value at AED 1.6 billion; at the average ask of about AED 2.4 M that suggests several hundred homes. Sobha's brochure or the DLD record gives the exact number.
