Included in package: separate self-contained 1BR maid apartment (own kitchen, living, bathroom, balcony, independent entry)
Status: Brand new, never lived-in, ready to occupy
THE BUILDING
The S Tower is Sobha Realty‘s first super-luxury vertical residential project in Dubai — a 58-storey, 229-metre tower in Al Sufouh, directly off Sheikh Zayed Road and at the entrance to Dubai Internet City. Completed in Q4 2024 after launch in 2021, the tower delivers only 84 residential units across 43 residential levels. The remaining floors host amenity decks, mechanical levels, and the six-level covered podium parking.
The inventory structure is deliberate scarcity:
- 82 half-floor 4-bedroom apartments
- 2 full-floor 5-bedroom penthouses
That’s the entire tower. Two penthouses in total. This listing is one of them, brought to market by a motivated seller before being lived in.
Sobha’s signature six-layer flooring construction applies throughout — insulation, waterproofing, rubber acoustic layer, and premium finish surfaces. Floor-to-ceiling glass facades provide uninterrupted views of Palm Jumeirah to the west, Dubai Marina skyline, and the Arabian Gulf.
THE LAYOUT — WHAT’S ACTUALLY INSIDE
This is not a standard 5BR apartment — it’s a multi-zone family residence with rare configuration choices:
- Main penthouse unit (full floor):
- Master bedroom with en-suite, dressing area, and dedicated safe room
- 3 additional en-suite bedrooms
- In-house maid’s room with adjacent utility
- Two kitchens: preparation kitchen + show kitchen
- Dedicated wine room
- Internal court (private open-air zone within the apartment)
- Separate luggage store and storage
- Living, dining, corridor connecting all zones
- Powder room
- Full-length balcony
- Separate maid apartment unit (independent quarters):
- Fully self-contained 1-bedroom apartment
- Own living area and dining
- Own kitchen
- Own bathroom + powder room
- Own utility room
- Private balcony
- Independent entry
This is the configuration HNW families look for: a private penthouse for the family, plus completely separate quarters for domestic staff or visiting family — equivalent to villa-style living vertically configured.
THE FEATURES THAT MATTER
- Wine room — Dedicated cellar within the residence. Not a wine fridge or display rack — a separate climate-controlled room.
- Safe room — Reinforced private room for documents, valuables, and security. Standard in HNW residences globally, very rare in Dubai apartments.
- Internal court — Private open-air space within the apartment perimeter, creating a true indoor-outdoor luxury feature without sharing community amenity zones.
- Two kitchens — Preparation kitchen for actual cooking, show kitchen for entertaining. Hospitality-grade configuration.
- Two maid solutions — In-house maid’s room for live-in staff plus completely separate 1BR maid apartment for additional staff or family privacy.
Allows the family to host multiple staff or accommodate visiting relatives with full independence.
THE LIFESTYLE — WHAT THE S TOWER OFFERS
- Infinity swimming pool with panoramic city views

The amenity programme is calibrated for the residential density — with only 84 total units in the tower, every facility is genuinely exclusive rather than shared with 500+ apartments as in typical Dubai high-rises.

WHY THIS MATTERS
The S Tower does not produce distressed inventory at this scale. With only 84 total units and just 2 penthouses across the entire 58-storey tower, full-floor resale opportunities are structurally rare — and discounted full-floor opportunities are essentially unprecedented for this address.
Beyond the pricing, the floor plan itself signals this unit was built for an end-user, not an investor. Wine room, safe room, two kitchens, internal court, separate maid apartment — these are configuration choices a buyer makes when planning to actually live in the residence, not flip it. Which makes the distressed exit even more unusual: an end-user-spec penthouse is appearing on the market at AED 4.5M below original price, brand new, never occupied.
A 22% discount against original purchase price on this configuration signals a very specific seller situation: liquidity event, divorce settlement, or family relocation outside of Dubai. Not a market signal — Sobha penthouse inventory at this level has been appreciating, not declining. This is a deal signal.
At AED 2,571 per sqft, the unit prices significantly below the AED 3,000-3,500 benchmark for comparable Sobha luxury full-floor inventory. The price point also puts the listing within reach of buyers who would normally need to step down to a 4-bedroom half-floor unit — meaning the upgrade is essentially free at this acquisition price.
For an end-user buyer, the calculation is straightforward: a full-floor penthouse in one of only two in the entire tower, brand-new with HNW-spec configuration (wine room, safe room, dual kitchens, internal court, separate maid quarters), at the price of a comparable half-floor apartment elsewhere in the same address tier.
For an investor, the calculation runs differently: this is acquisition cost AED 4.5M below original purchase price for an asset class (Sobha penthouse) that has appreciated 30-50% across its other completed projects over the past 24 months. Plus, the separate maid apartment can be rented independently or repurposed as a guest unit, providing rental income flexibility unique to this configuration.
Either way, this is the kind of inventory that does not appear on Bayut or Property Finder at this price level. Penthouses at The S Tower are listed at significantly higher numbers across all visible platforms.
