Off-plan upper mid-range branded residential tower by AZHA, handover due in 2027, with 11 floors, 70 units and 53 off-plan sales on the Land Department record

Sofitel Residences Downtown, Downtown Dubai · by AZHA

An off-plan home in Sofitel Residences Downtown sells for about AED 4.07m

Median of 10 off-plan sales of every bed size in the 12 months to 26 Oct 2026, from Land Department records (no single bed size has 10 sales). Last sale in the tower: 12 Jun 2026.

The market says
10 off-plan sales of all sizes in the 12 months to 26 Oct 2026 at AED 2,452 per sq ft.
James Paul Booth
The agent's view
“Sofitel Residences Downtown is off-plan, due in 2027, so no owner has sold a completed home here yet. Buyers took 10 homes here in the 12 months to 26 Oct 2026, at about AED 2,452 per sq ft. Sales are slow. Ask for a better payment plan before you sign, and compare the price with a completed tower next door.”

Sofitel Residences Downtown is in Burj Khalifa Area, Downtown Dubai. Sold prices and sales for the other towers with a page:

From the developer: AZHA

What AZHA publishes about Sofitel Residences Downtown. Pictures are the developer's artist's impressions, not photos of the building. Each fact shows where it comes from; a fact read from the developer's text is checked word for word.

Checked, not found: artist's impressions, floor plans, a video, a brochure or other PDF, facts we could check. We searched the developer site and the web on 14 Oct 2026. Ask AZHA for the latest brochure and floor plans.

Construction progress: not found

We found no public progress record for this tower. Ask the developer for the latest inspection report from the Land Department.

Payment plan: not found

We checked the pages we hold for this tower and found no payment plan that passed our checks. We do not guess one. Ask the developer for the current plan.

Resale and off-plan prices by bedroom

Resale = a completed home sold on. Off-plan = a home sold before the tower is complete, by the developer or by an earlier buyer (a Land Department "delayed sell"). The two are different markets, so we never mix them in one price. Sold = median price of sales in the 12 months to 26 Oct 2026. Asking and rent = live listings on 7 Oct 2026. Counts are in brackets. A sold median needs 10 sales, an advert median 3 adverts.

TypeOff-plan: soldOff-plan: per sq ft
No sales and no listings.

Sold prices: Land Department sale records to 26 Oct 2026, BUY DUBAI facts cube. Asking and rent are adverts, not contracts.

Sales we leave out of every median, count and chart (2 of 53 here): bulk transfers, meaning 5 or more completed homes sold within two days at prices per sq ft within 25% of each other (0); a sale at exactly the same price as that unit's sale before (0); a size more than 1.6 times the usual size for the recorded type, or a "studio" above 750 sq ft (2). They stay in the list below with a label.

Too few off-plan sales to state a yearly change

Median AED 2,452 per sq ft in the 12 months to 26 Oct 2026 (10 off-plan sales). A yearly change needs at least 30 sales in each of the two 12-month periods.

Too few quarters with sales to draw a chart.

Bars: median AED per sq ft by quarter. Blue line and blue numbers under the bars: number of sales in the quarter. Last 16 quarters at most; Land Department records, quarters with 10 or more sales. Off-plan sales are 100% of sales in the last 12 months, so the bars can mix launch and resale prices.

Every sale since 2024: 53 sales of 53 units

Newest first. Each sale is marked Resale or Off-plan. The last column shows the change from the same unit's sale before.

Method, sources and what we did not find

  • Sales: unit-level Dubai Land Department sale records, 4 Oct 2024 to 24 Oct 2026, checked by year against Dubai Land Department open data. Our unit list does not hold every sale, so some sales are missing.
  • Listings: one snapshot, 7 Oct 2026. Asking prices and asking rents.
  • Residents and building facts: Google Maps reviews and guide pages (Building guide from live adverts (facts and resident opinions; rewrite in your own words; cite as "live adverts")., Resident and public material found on the open web (one passage per block; source and date under each)., live adverts: community guide), read by an AI model on 27 Oct 2026 with a fixed question list.
