About Sadaf 7
Sadaf 7 is a high-rise residential tower in Jumeirah Beach Residence, developed by Dubai Properties and completed around the turn of 2007 into 2008 (sources place it in December 2007 or January 2008). It is one of eight interconnected towers making up JBR's Sadaf complex, joined at podium level with Sadaf 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 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 7 is a distinct tower from Sadaf 2, Sadaf 5, Sadaf 6 and Sadaf 8, Royale Stays' other documented buildings in the same complex: all share a developer, completion era and podium-level amenities, but each is a separate building with its own unit inventory and its own Dubai Land Department project registration. Sadaf 7 offers apartments ranging from studios to four-bedroom layouts, with units facing The Walk JBR and, from higher floors, views toward the Arabian Gulf and Dubai Marina. Royale Stays has not independently confirmed the exact total floor count or unit count for Sadaf 7 from two or more sources, so neither figure is stated here rather than an invented one.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Sadaf 7 sits close to The Walk JBR, roughly 0.4 km from the promenade, with the Ritz-Carlton, Rove JBR and the Movenpick Hotel Jumeirah Beach all around 0.2 km away, Marina Beach about 0.8 km away, and Reel Cinemas at Dubai Marina Mall roughly 0.6 km away. For a full picture of Airbnb management across JBR, see Royale Stays' area guide to Airbnb property management in JBR.
Sadaf 7 joins Royale Stays' wider JBR Building Guide cluster, alongside its own documented siblings in the same complex, Sadaf 2, Sadaf 5, Sadaf 6 and Sadaf 8, plus other JBR towers Royale Stays has covered including Al Fattan Marine Towers and Al Bateen Residence.
Unit Types
Sadaf 7 offers apartments across a wide size range, from compact studios up to spacious four-bedroom layouts, in line with the wider Sadaf complex's unit mix. Live portal listing activity checked for this guide skews toward one and two-bedroom configurations, though the building's original developer pricing also covered three and four-bedroom units. No floor-plan diagrams are included here: floor plans are typically the developer's or broker's proprietary material and have not been independently verified for this guide.
Amenities
Sadaf 7's facilities include a communal swimming pool, a fitness center, a kids' club, covered car parking, and 24-hour security with CCTV surveillance, consistent with the wider Sadaf complex's podium-level amenities. Owners and prospective renters should confirm current on-site facilities directly with the building's management, since amenity offerings can change over time.
Transportation & Access
JBR is served by the Dubai Tram, with Sadaf 7 within easy reach of the JBR tram network, connecting onward to the Dubai Marina Metro stations. Dubai International Airport is roughly 38.4 km away, about a 33-minute drive under normal traffic conditions. Royale Stays has not confirmed the exact walking distance from Sadaf 7 to the nearest tram stop, so this guide does not state a specific figure.
Rental & Price Trends
Recorded Dubai Land Department-sourced sale transactions show around 50 sales for Sadaf 7 (the same rounded figure recurs across several Sadaf-cluster buildings on the source checked, so it may reflect a capped display count rather than a precise per-building total), with a recent sale on 21 July 2026 at AED 2,950,000 for a 1,440 sq ft two-bedroom apartment, and other recent transactions in the roughly AED 1.36 million to AED 2.95 million range. Separately, live portal asking prices for the building run from about AED 1.7 million to AED 6.5 million, reflecting a mix of unit sizes and renovation levels rather than a single comparable figure. Owners weighing a specific unit's numbers can run their own scenario through Royale Stays' ROI calculator.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including at Sadaf 7, runs through a DTCM (Department of Economy and Tourism) holiday home permit, the same licensing requirement that applies regardless of building or area. An owner considering Airbnb at Sadaf 7 would need to hold that permit before listing a unit, in addition to confirming the building's own short-term letting policy. Royale Stays' guide to the Dubai holiday home permit covers what the process and fees generally involve.
Royale Stays does not currently have booking data or a confirmed dedicated short-term listing signal specific to Sadaf 7 to draw on, so this guide does not present a building-specific income figure or OTA listing claim it cannot support. For context on realistic JBR-wide short-term rental income, Royale Stays' own published figures for the area run roughly AED 100,000 to 130,000 per year for a studio, AED 145,000 to 195,000 for a one-bedroom, AED 210,000 to 300,000 for a two-bedroom and AED 330,000 to 480,000 for a three-bedroom, per the JBR short-term rental guide.
Dubai Properties is the master developer behind Sadaf 7, not a hotel brand: there is no policy reason, unlike Vida, the site's only confirmed prohibited brand, that Sadaf 7 apartments can't be run as licensed holiday homes. The wider operational approach is covered in Royale Stays' guide to Airbnb property management in Dubai. Owners ready to move forward can submit their property for a free earnings estimate.
