The Roof Residence, Nad Al Sheba · by Soboh Real Estate Development

An apartment in The Roof Residence sold for about AED 1,568 per sq ft in 2025

Median of 37 apartment sales in 2025, median price AED 1,992,552. Source: Dubai Land Department register, to 12 Feb 2026. 7 market sales in the 12 months to 23 Oct 2026; 45 sales on record since 2025. That is too few for a home price.

The developer says
The Roof Residence is a vibrant community in the heart of Nad Al Sheba 1, for residents on a journey to greatness. As given on propsearch.ae
The market says
7 resales of all sizes in 12 months at AED 1,575 per sq ft; a higher price than 7% of Nad Al Sheba towers.
James Paul Booth
The agent's view
“The Roof Residence had 7 sales in 12 months at about AED 1,575 per sq ft, but too few owners have sold twice for me to quote a return. I would price it from the last sale of the same layout, and I would not pay more for a promise.”

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 23 Oct 2026. Asking and rent = live listings on 7 Oct 2026. Counts are in brackets. A median needs 5 sales or 3 listings.

TypeResale: soldOff-plan: soldOff-plan: per sq ftRent a year
1-bedunder 5 (3)under 5 (3)–– (1)
2-bedunder 5 (4)AED 1,999,735 (7)1,490– (0)

Rents are asking rents, not registered contracts. Yield = asking rent divided by the median resale price, before service charge.

Sales we leave out of every median, count and chart (1 of 45 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 (1); a size more than 1.6 times the usual size for the recorded type, or a "studio" above 750 sq ft (0). They stay in the list below with a label.

Off-plan price per sq ft by quarter

The tower has too few resale sales for a trend (7 in the last 12 months), so the chart shows the off-plan sales.

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. Grey bars have fewer than 3 sales. Off-plan sales are 84% of all sales in this tower, so the early quarters show launch prices.

Method, sources and what we did not find

  • Sales: unit-level Dubai Land Department sale records, 14 May 2025 to 23 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 (crescorealestate.ae, famproperties.com, hausandhaus.com, live adverts: community guide, propsearch.ae), read by an AI model on 27 Oct 2026 with a fixed question list. A script checks that each answer names its source.
  • Nobody visited the tower. Every fact is from a document, a map or a resident's review.
  • Checked, not found for this tower: a Google Maps place, resident reviews, a floor plan document, unit positions on a floor, the side and view of each unit, a licensed photo.
