Advisor's take
Why it may suit you
- On Sheikh Zayed Road, about 2 minutes from Jebel Ali Metro (developer estimate).
- Residents reach the masterplan's mall, cinema, gym and supermarket through interconnected lift lobbies (Sobha).
- Sobha describes The Horizon as the first tower to rise in Sobha Central.
- The listed Horizon plan leaves 40% to handover, which limits the capital tied up during construction (confirm in the sales offer).
What to weigh up
- A dense high-rise cluster — 1 and 2 bedroom units will compete with a large rental stock in JLT and Dubai Marina.
- Handover in December 2029: about three years of capital commitment.
- Service charges are not yet published — ask for the developer's estimate before comparing yields.
- Payment plans come from broker listings, not from Sobha's own tower pages; confirm the schedule in the sales offer before comparing the two towers.
Probably not for you if…
- You need three or more bedrooms or a family villa.
- You want a quiet, low-rise neighbourhood.
- You need rental income before 2030.
This is our analysis, not a recommendation to buy. Every off-plan purchase carries construction and delivery risk.
Payment plan and the real cost of buying
Listings for The Horizon show 20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% on handover. The Eden is listed with two options: 60% during construction and 40% on handover, or the same 20/40/40. Sobha does not publish these plans on its tower pages, so we confirm the schedule for your unit from the developer's sales offer before you reserve.
| DLD transfer fee | 4% of the purchase price, registered on Oqood. Who bears it is set in the sales agreement — check before signing. |
| Registration and admin fees | Oqood registration and developer admin fees apply; amounts are confirmed in the sales offer. |
| Service charges | Annual, per sq ft, set and published after handover. Ask for the developer's estimate when comparing projects. |
| Brokerage fee | No brokerage fee for buyers on off-plan purchases — Pro8 is paid by the developer. |
How your money is protected
Off-plan payments in Dubai go into a project escrow account under Dubai Law No. 8 of 2007 and DLD escrow rules. The account is dedicated to building that project, and withdrawals are tied to construction progress. On completion, 5% is retained and released one year after the units are registered to buyers.
Every off-plan sale must be registered with the Dubai Land Department on the Oqood interim register (Law No. 13 of 2008); an unregistered sale is void. You can check a project's registration and escrow account in the Dubai REST app. Pay only into the project escrow account — never to an individual.
