About Sobha Daffodil
Sobha Daffodil sits in JVC District 13, part of Jumeirah Village Circle, and is built as two connected wings under one project name rather than a single tower. Wing A rises 5 storeys and Wing B rises 11 storeys, and Dubai property portals guide the development as one combined complex rather than two separate buildings.
Construction began in January 2008 and the complex was completed in November 2010, with handovers beginning in 2011. Together the two wings hold 178 apartments across studio, one, two and three-bedroom layouts, with restaurants, salons and minimarts occupying part of the ground floor.
Note on the developer name: Sobha Daffodil is a genuine Sobha Group project, confirmed on Sobha's own project page, and is referred to here simply as "Sobha" rather than by a specific dated legal entity name. One property-portal source names the specific entity as "Sobha Developers Limited," but public company records place that entity's Dubai incorporation in March 2012, roughly 16 months after this project's stated November 2010 completion. This could reflect an earlier Sobha Dubai vehicle that predates the 2012 entity, or a completion-date inaccuracy on aggregator sites; this guide does not assert a specific incorporation date or legal entity name for the developer.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Sobha Daffodil sits in JVC District 13, part of Jumeirah Village Circle, a central freehold community roughly equidistant from Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai and Dubai Sports City.
Royale Stays also covers other buildings in the same JVC cluster, including Harrington House, Golden Residence and Kensington Manor, other freehold JVC buildings Royale Stays covers.
Unit Types
Sobha Daffodil offers studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments spread across its two wings and 178 total units. Unit mix and exact sizes vary by wing and floor, and are not published by the developer as a fixed schedule; owners and buyers should confirm exact layouts directly through a current listing or resale agent.
Amenities
Amenities at Sobha Daffodil include a swimming pool and separate rooftop swimming pool, a fully equipped gym, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi, a clubhouse, a rooftop garden and a barbecue area. The development is pet-friendly and offers a staffed lobby with 24-hour concierge and a guest waiting area, with restaurants, salons and minimarts on part of the ground floor.
Transportation & Access
JVC has no metro station of its own. The nearest operating stations sit on the Red Line toward Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Internet City, several kilometres away by road, with RTA bus routes connecting JVC to nearby metro stations. Most residents and guests rely on a car or taxi for day-to-day travel, consistent with JVC's wider central, road-dependent location.
Rental & Price Trends
Sobha Daffodil is actively listed for both sale and rent across studio to three-bedroom configurations on major Dubai property portals, including Bayut, Property Finder and Dubizzle. As a JVC building completed in 2010, it sits among the area's earlier developments, which tend to trade at a discount to JVC's newer, post-2020 towers.
This guide does not quote specific AED transaction or asking-price figures for Sobha Daffodil; a fresh Dubai Land Department transaction pull was not completed during this brief's research window. Owners should confirm current pricing directly through a live portal listing or resale agent before listing.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Short-term letting at Sobha Daffodil follows the same route as most freehold JVC buildings: an owner applies for a DTCM holiday-home permit from the Department of Economy and Tourism, and Royale Stays handles the day-to-day operations once that permit is confirmed.
No building-specific prohibition on short-term letting was found for Sobha Daffodil. Royale Stays manages JVC short-term rentals from a fee starting from 15% of gross booking revenue, covering furnishing, professional photography, dynamic pricing, guest check-in, guest communications and maintenance coordination.
Royale Stays has not independently confirmed a live Airbnb listing at Sobha Daffodil at the time of writing; income figures should be treated as a general JVC-area guide, not a building-specific guarantee.
