Handover Декабрь 2029

Layouts and the handover date come from the sales-launch announcement; the date of that announcement is shown next to the prices. It is what the developer claimed at launch, not a registry record — off-plan, phasing and dates get revised. I will send the current ones over WhatsApp.

Developer prices

These are the starting prices as of the date shown, not today's list: off-plan they are revised several times a year, and more often upwards than down.

Payment plan
60/40, 20% down payment
Handover
December 2029
Developer
Sobha Realty

Figures come from the developer's own materials sent to brokers, dated 17 April 2026. The commentary behind them is written up in the Russian version of this page.

Floor plans

Floor plans from the developer's own materials. The areas and the unit split on them were correct when the drawing was issued — check them against the plan attached to the contract before the deal.

About the project

Sobha City Abu Dhabi is a residential community in Al Bahyah, Abu Dhabi, handover is due Декабрь 2029.

The developer is Sobha Realty.

Layouts, according to the sales-launch announcement — 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 bedrooms.

The database has nothing for this project at the moment: lots come and go here, and it refreshes nightly.

Sobha Realty's first master plan in Abu Dhabi, next to Yas Island: the first phase is 470 units — townhouses, villas and apartments — with handover announced for December 2029.

What this project is

Sobha City is the developer's entry into Abu Dhabi, launched straight as a master plan rather than a single building. The announced makeup: about 60% of the land under greenery, more than 50,000 trees, two kilometres of waterfront, canals with water taxis, lagoons, beaches, its own marina, three international schools, roughly 28,000 square metres of retail, wellness infrastructure and a golf course.

The location is Al Bahyah, next to Yas Island: per the developer, 13 minutes to Yas Mall and 15 minutes to the future Disneyland Abu Dhabi.

A note on the developer itself. Sobha keeps construction in-house: it produces much of its own materials, does its own finishing work, and doesn't hand key processes to contractors. That's its known trademark, and it's what explains the consistent quality at handover — though it doesn't remove the need for the usual contract review.

The first phase

The first phase totals 470 units. The Terraces townhouses number 100: three-bedroom units with a majlis from AED 4.96 million, five-bedroom G+2 twins with a lift from AED 8.0 million.

The Orchard villas number 100 units, four to six bedrooms, 400–600 m², from AED 9.06 to 13.5 million. In August 2026 the developer quoted a four-to-five-bedroom villa range of AED 9–11 million with a 40/60 payment plan.

Apartments number 270 units: one-bedroom, 53–56 m², from AED 1.35 million; two-bedroom, 94–113 m², from AED 2.4 million. The first-phase plan is 60/40 with a 20% down payment. Service charge: AED 5/ft² for villas and AED 16/ft² for apartments.

The logic of entering now

The developer's pitch is straightforward: the first phase comes at the lowest prices, and the next ones will cost more. On large master plans that's usually how it works — but it's a pattern, not a guarantee, and it depends on the master plan actually being finished as promised.

The obvious comparison is Creek Harbour in Dubai: the same approach, where a single developer builds an entire district from scratch. The difference is that in Abu Dhabi there's already an established draw nearby — Yas Island — so there's no need to wait for the district itself to become one.

First-phase composition, sizes, prices, payment plan and service charge — developer materials for the sales launch dated 17 April 2026, with additions from posts dated 18 April 2026 and 15 August 2026. Location (Al Bahyah, Abu Dhabi) and developer Sobha Realty — from the developer's public master-plan launch materials.

Handover payment

A mortgage covers the final instalment

The final payment on this building falls in 2029 — under off-plan plans that is 40–60% of the price in one go. A UAE bank closes it: the flat becomes the security, and nothing is added on top of what the developer has already been paid.

  • Up to 80% of the appraised value, no extra down payment
  • 3.99% fixed for three years, up to 25 years in term
  • 6–12 months before the keys — the bank wants six months of income history

Already been invoiced, or missed the date? That is not a dead end either — write and we will look at what the developer will accept.
