Joud Tower

Joud Tower is a residential development by Albatha Real Estate in Al Mamzar-1, a district that sits at the boundary of Dubai and Sharjah. The building holds 190 apartments across a single tower, currently under construction, with two-, three- and four-bedroom residences priced from AED 1.56 million to AED 4.26 million.

# The tower and its position in Al Mamzar-1

Al Mamzar-1 occupies a stretch of coastline that most Dubai buyers overlook in favour of better-marketed corridors to the south and west. That relative quietness is part of its appeal. The district borders the lagoon and the beach park that gives the area its name, and the Dubai-Sharjah boundary runs nearby, placing residents within reach of both emirates without the density of Deira to the south.

Joud Tower is a single building, not a phased masterplan. At 190 units it sits at a scale that allows some coherence between the architecture and the shared spaces without the anonymity of a 500-unit complex. Construction is underway and the project is currently on sale, with no confirmed completion date published at the time of writing.

# Residences, layouts and sizes

The apartment range runs from two-bedroom units of roughly 1,541 sq ft up to four-bedroom residences reaching 3,942 sq ft. That breadth is considerable for a tower of this size, and it means the building accommodates both smaller family households and buyers looking for genuine square footage at this price point.

Two-bedroom apartments cluster broadly around 1,547 to 1,832 sq ft, with a subset of larger two-bedroom layouts reaching just over 2,120 sq ft, priced in the AED 2.2 million range. Three-bedroom apartments span approximately 2,388 to 3,401 sq ft, with prices running from around AED 2.51 million to AED 3.74 million depending on floor, aspect and exact configuration. Four-bedroom homes start at roughly 3,073 sq ft and reach 3,942 sq ft, with asking prices between AED 3.45 million and AED 4.26 million.

Kitchens are fitted as standard. The rest of each apartment is delivered unfurnished, which suits buyers who intend to specify interiors themselves. Service charges are set at AED 9 per sq ft.

# Amenities on site

The amenity programme covers the practical and the social without inflating the list. A swimming pool, gymnasium, steam and sauna facilities sit alongside a basketball court, jogging and walking track, and a kids' play area. A community café and multipurpose pavilion address the less structured social uses, and ground-floor retail units handle everyday convenience.

For a 190-unit building, this is a proportionate provision. The facilities are self-contained rather than shared across a wider development, which matters for access and upkeep.

# A district shaped by water and the Dubai-Sharjah corridor

Al Mamzar Beach Park lies within the immediate vicinity, a landscaped coastal reserve with beach access, gardens and open recreational space. The lagoon that defines the area's geography contributes to the relatively low density of the surrounding streets, which are mostly residential, a mix of villas and apartment buildings without significant commercial pressure.

The dual-emirate positioning is functionally useful. Sharjah is minutes away, which broadens the catchment for schools, healthcare and retail. Dubai's Deira district and onward road connections towards Downtown and the airport are accessible without crossing into the more congested parts of the city. For households that move between both emirates regularly, the address makes straightforward logistical sense.

# Who this building is built for, and where it sits in the current market

At AED 1,011 per sq ft at the lower end (based on a 1,547 sq ft two-bedroom at AED 1.564 million), Joud Tower prices below the averages seen in newer Downtown or Dubai Marina launches, and meaningfully below the creek-adjacent towers that have repriced sharply since 2022. For buyers who have tracked that repricing and find little value remaining in those corridors, Al Mamzar-1 offers a different calculation: larger floor plates, a quieter neighbourhood, and a developer, Albatha Real Estate, that operates within the UAE market rather than importing an overseas brand.

The profile fits families relocating from Sharjah who want a Dubai address without the commute penalty, GCC buyers seeking a practical rather than prestige purchase, and European or Asian investors for whom the price-per-square-foot arithmetic looks more defensible than comparable product elsewhere in the city. It is a considered choice rather than an obvious one, which at this stage of the Dubai cycle may be precisely the point.
