About Sadaf 1
Sadaf 1 is a 38-storey freehold residential tower in Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), developed by Dubai Properties Group and TECOM Group. Construction on the wider Sadaf complex began in 2004 and completed in 2007.
Sadaf 1 is one of eight interconnected buildings making up JBR’s Sadaf complex, joined at podium level with Sadaf 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and Suha Hotel Apartments, the building that occupies the complex’s "Sadaf 3" position but is marketed under its own name rather than that number.
Sadaf 1 is a distinct tower from Royale Stays’ other documented buildings in the same complex, Sadaf 2, Sadaf 6 and Sadaf 8: all share a developer, completion era and podium-level setting, but each is a separate building with its own unit inventory and its own Dubai Land Department project registration.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Sadaf 1 sits within JBR’s Sadaf block, close to The Walk JBR with direct access to JBR’s beachfront promenade, dining and retail. Sea Breeze at The Beach, a designated beach sports venue, and Dubai Marina Mall are both nearby.
JBR sits between Dubai Marina and Al Sufouh, giving residents easy reach of the Marina’s tram loop. For the wider area, see Royale Stays’ JBR Airbnb management guide. Sadaf 1 joins Royale Stays’ wider JBR Building Guide cluster, alongside its own documented complex siblings Sadaf 6, Sadaf 8 and Sadaf 2.
Unit Types
Sadaf 1 offers one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments. One-bedroom units run roughly 1,020 to 1,300 sq ft; two-bedroom units roughly 1,400 to 2,000 sq ft; three-bedroom units roughly 1,800 to 2,000 sq ft; and four-bedroom units around 2,700 sq ft. An exact total unit count has not been independently confirmed by any source checked for this guide, so no figure is stated here rather than an invented one.
Amenities
Residents have access to a shared swimming pool and a well-equipped gymnasium, underground parking (four-bedroom owners are allotted two spaces), multiple high-speed elevators, 24/7 security, district cooling via Empower, a children’s play area, and 24-hour concierge and guest services.
Transportation & Access
JBR is served by the Dubai Tram, with the Jumeirah Beach Residence 1 tram station a short walk from Sadaf 1, connecting onward to the Sobha Realty and DMCC Dubai Metro stations nearby. Sheikh Zayed Road access puts the rest of the city, including Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport, within a straightforward drive. The Walk JBR itself is fully walkable for restaurants, cafes and beach access.

Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including at Sadaf 1, requires a DTCM holiday home permit, the same licensing requirement that applies regardless of building or area. Royale Stays does not currently have booking data specific to Sadaf 1 to draw on, so this guide does not present a building income figure it cannot support.
JBR is one of Royale Stays’ five core managed areas, alongside Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai and Business Bay. Royale Stays manages the full furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications process for owners at buildings across JBR, from a management fee starting from 15%.
