• Sobha open — AED 1.83M up to about AED 3.54M on the listing card (high) ^{[1] [2]}
• Portal open — PF launch 1.6M / FAQ AED 1,590,000; Propsearch AED 1,590,000; E&V AED 1.6M (med — fights the official number) ^{[3] [4] [5]}

A “from” figure filters a shortlist. Your number is the dated sheet for the flat you reserve.

The official stills show stacked white frames, planted gold mid-blocks and a Sobha Central Mall face on the slimmer tower. Pretty picture. It does not pick your bedroom count. ^[1]

Sobha’s FAQ is one- and two-bed stock with tall glass over the podium park. ^[1] Plans on the product page we captured:

• 1BR Types A–D — about 568–695 sqft ^[1]
• 2BR Type D — about 956 sqft ^[1]
• 2BR Type G — about 1,202 sqft ^[1]

The listing card markets from 631.6 sqft. That is not Type A. Mark net and balcony on the drawing in your hand. ^[2]

Watch the Type D letter: Property Finder’s 1-bed table includes Type D at 956 sqft. Sobha’s 956 sqft sheet is a two-bed Type D. ^{[3] [1]} A portal letter is not a bedroom count.

Sobha’s start is AED 1.83 million, with a listing ceiling near AED 3.54 million (one product-page block still said 3.52). ^{[1] [2]} PF, Propsearch and Engel & Völkers still talk AED 1.59–1.6 million. ^{[3] [4] [5]} PF also floats 2-beds from AED 2.5 million. None of those is your ticket.

Separate folders:

• Place: Sobha Central
• Live sibling: The Mirage
• Other names on Sobha’s own card: The Horizon, The Serene, The Tranquil, The Pinnacle
• Hartland, Sanctuary and Sobha One stay off this page

Icons on the product page: leisure pool, outdoor gym, outdoor cinema, family BBQ, kids’ play, office space. The lede also sells a mall, multiplex, gym, prayer hall, clinic and supermarket through linked lift lobbies. ^[1] Ask which of those drawings sit on The Eden exhibits. Pictures here are downloaded official renders.

Keys: Sobha’s apartments card prints Handover — Dec 2029. ^[2] Property Finder repeats December / Q4 2029 and expected completion 1 December 2029. ^[3] Engel & Völkers says Q4 2029 and points at Sobha. ^[5] Bayut’s building guide still shows Q2 2030. ^[6] Marketing dates can slip. What binds is the contract plus the handover notice.

Cash: The Eden product page we captured has no instalment table. ^[1] Property Finder alone sketches 60% during works / 40% at keys, or 20% at launch / 40% during works / 40% at keys. ^[3] Copy the printed dates. Do not borrow The Mirage schedule just because both towers sit on the same campus.

Open price: official AED 1.83 million versus portal AED 1.59–1.6 million is a real gap. ^{[1] [3]} Ask for a dated Eden sheet before you spend against either number.

Open the Sobha hub for brand context only. It will not decide Eden registration, escrow or yearly service charges. The seller on the papers should match the reservation header. ^[1]

For the neighbourhood, open Sobha Central. PF’s tree is Dubai → Jebel Ali → Sobha Central → The Eden. ^{[1] [3]} Sobha’s minute chips — Metro ~2, JLT ~12, Marina and JBR ~13 — are marketing, not a commute survey. ^[1]

Sister file already live: The Mirage. Same campus, different purchase. ^[2]

1. Wrong tower — Horizon, Mirage, Serene, Tranquil and Pinnacle are other cards. ^[2]

1. 1.59–1.6M is not Sobha’s open — the developer card is AED 1.83M. ^{[1] [3]}

1. Two portal cash sketches, none official — 60/40 and 20/40/40 live on PF only. ^[3]

1. Type D 956 — PF lists it as a 1-bed; Sobha’s sheet is a 2-bed. ^{[1] [3]}

1. 631.6 sqft is a marketing floor — Type A on the official plan is about 568 sqft. ^[1]

1. Dec 2029 versus Q2 2030 — official + PF agree; Bayut does not. Leave slack. ^{[2] [6]}

1. Mall and podium as if they were in your unit — linked-lobby copy is campus talk. ^[1]

1. Propsearch DLD rows on that building page — the samples we opened named The Serene and The Tranquil, not Eden.

Yield talk and “last units” stay off this page.

1. Lay the reservation next to the sale contract. Both should already print The Eden (or The Eden at Sobha Central), the unit, and the bedroom type you chose. You do not write Sobha’s forms. Hand back a vague “Sobha Central” line or the wrong tower. ^[1]

1. Confirm registration and the escrow account for this Eden release via Dubai Land Department tools before a booking fee leaves.

1. Ask for a dated Eden price list. If someone quotes near AED 1.59–1.6M, make them show how that sits next to Sobha’s AED 1.83M open. ^{[1] [3]}

1. Rebuild cash flow from the printed Eden milestones. PF’s two tables are sketches. ^[3]

1. Circle bedrooms, net versus balcony, floor and parking. Ask whether a “Type D 956” is Sobha’s two-bed or a portal one-bed label. ^[1]

1. Get in writing which leisure drawings attach to The Eden and which are campus-wide. ^[1]

1. A visit that also walked The Mirage or The Horizon is more than one buy. Separate folders.

1. Walk the buyer checklist once more before a booking fee leaves.
