The dates are our estimate: we spread the construction share evenly between now and the keys. The developer's real dates follow the building work, so they can move.
Your payments go into the project's escrow account, which RERA watches, not straight to the developer.
A mortgage at the keys
Before you buy
Pay into the project's escrow account only.
This project's escrow account is at the bank named on the register above, watched by RERA. Pay into that account, never to a person.
Check the developer's record.
The Dubai Land Department project register lists 17 finished projects by this developer since 2018. 15 of the 17 were finished by the completion date DLD holds now. DLD replaces that date when a project is given more time and keeps no earlier dates, so this can't show which ones ran late. We have recorded the completion dates of their 19 projects under way since Jun 12, 2026. None has moved since then.
Budget for the service charge.
Once the building is finished you pay a yearly service charge per sq ft, set from the building's budget and approved by RERA. "Rent and yield" below gives the figure for this project.
Register the sale with Oqood.
The Land Department records off-plan sales in its Oqood register. Until your sale is on it, the home isn't in your name.

Gross yield is a year's rent before costs, as a share of the price. At the from price: AED 70,000 ÷ AED 1,396,000 = 5%. The home earns nothing until the keys, and new buildings often rent for more than older ones.
Rents come from Ejari, Dubai's register of rent contracts: new residential contracts in the area, all buildings. A median is the middle one: half are lower, half higher.

National Paints Metro Station (formerly Jebel Ali) is about 630 m from The Serene at Sobha Central, a Sobha Realty project in Discovery Gardens with one- and two-bedroom apartments from AED 1,396,000. The price check against 46 similar one-bedroom off-plan sales in Discovery Gardens (12 months to October 2026) isn't reliable enough to quote.
National Paints Metro Station is about 630 m away, around a 10-minute walk, and a medical centre about 330 m. Jumeirah Lakes Towers is about 1.8 km away, around 7 minutes by car. Delhi Private School is about 2.7 km away, around 7 minutes by car, The Winchester School about 2.6 km, around 8 minutes, and Emirates International School - Meadows about 2.4 km, around 9 minutes.
The Dubai Land Department lists 46 one-bedroom off-plan sales in Discovery Gardens over the 12 months to October 2026, but the price check against them isn't reliable enough to quote. These are sales across the area, not only in this project, and the check compares price per square foot rather than total price.
The plan is 20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% on handover, listed for December 2029. At the from price that is AED 279,200, AED 558,400 and AED 558,400, so AED 837,600 is paid before handover. Get the dated payment schedule to see when the construction payments fall. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 55,840; ask when it is due.
Apartments run from 495 to 872 sq ft. Sobha lists a swimming pool, jogging tracks, multipurpose sport courts and a children's play area, plus an activity lawn and picnic areas. Sobha also describes high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows inside the homes. The listing also names a gym, a children's pool, a lobby, covered parking and 24/7 security.
