S-tower

Sobha's S Tower occupies a prominent position in Dubai Internet City, Al Sufouh 2, completing in September 2024 as a 60-storey residential tower offering apartments and penthouses within one of Dubai's most commercially connected districts.

# The tower and its setting in Al Sufouh 2

At 60 storeys, S Tower reads clearly against the low-rise commercial fabric that characterises much of the surrounding district. Dubai Internet City was established as a free zone for technology and media firms, which means residential supply in the immediate area remains thin. That scarcity is part of the tower's rationale: it places residents inside a working district rather than at its edge, with the Sheikh Zayed Road corridor and the broader Al Sufouh corridor directly accessible.

The building's glass-reflective facade is designed to return views outward as much as to register height. From the upper floors, sightlines reach Dubai Marina, Burj Al Arab, and Palm Jumeirah, three of the city's most legible landmarks, all within a six-kilometre radius.

A dedicated double-height entrance lobby serves residents separately from other building functions, with a branded café positioned within the residential reception.

# Residences, layouts and specification

Unit-level data including specific sizes and pricing is no longer publicly available, as S Tower is recorded as sold out. What the developer specified at launch: all apartments include a separate preparatory kitchen alongside the main kitchen, and each kitchen comes fitted with a refrigerator, microwave, oven, and exhaust hood. Wardrobes are fitted in all bedrooms. Residences are delivered unfurnished, allowing buyers to commission interiors independently.

Service charges run at 18 to 20 AED per square foot annually, consistent with a full-service tower of this height and specification.

# Amenities across the podium and upper levels

The amenity programme covers both active and passive uses across indoor and outdoor settings.

# Leisure and recreation

The temperature-controlled infinity-edge swimming pool is the anchor facility, supported by an outdoor jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room. Gym provision runs across both indoor and outdoor formats. For families, dedicated children's play areas operate in both configurations. A mini outdoor theatre adds an informal social dimension that fewer Dubai towers bother to include.

Retail and food and beverage outlets are integrated into the building, reducing the need to leave the tower for everyday purchases.

# Distances and daily connections

Sufouh Beach sits 3.2 kilometres away, roughly seven minutes by car. The Greens and Views Lake Park is at a similar distance and drive time, providing green space that the immediate district does not offer.

Dubai Marina Mall is eleven minutes away, Palm Jumeirah the same. Marinascape Mall reaches in eight minutes. For families with school-age children, The International School of Choueifat is 1.6 kilometres from the tower, a four-minute drive. Dubai International Airport is 28.9 kilometres out, averaging 37 minutes without traffic.

# Who S Tower suits and where it sits in the Dubai market

S Tower fits a specific buyer type: someone who prioritises proximity to Dubai's technology and media business district without sacrificing the residential standard expected in a premium high-rise. For GCC-based buyers with business interests in Internet City or Media City, the address removes the commute entirely. For European and Asian investors purchasing as a peppercorn residence or yield asset, the tower's completion at 100 per cent and its sold-out status signal a secondary market play rather than an off-plan entry.

The service charge band of 18 to 20 AED per square foot positions running costs at the higher end of the Dubai market, which buyers should factor into net yield calculations before proceeding.
