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

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.
Nothing in the stock for this project right now
Lots for this project come and go, and the stock is topped up nightly. Message me — I will look through the closed bases and find the closest alternatives in Al Bahyah, Abu Dhabi.
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.
The sales-launch announcement says Декабрь 2029. The date in the contract for a particular unit can differ — I check it before the deal.
What layouts are there in Sobha City Abu Dhabi?
1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom, 4-bedroom, 5-bedroom and 6-bedroom, according to the sales-launch announcement. Which sizes are actually free right now depends on what is on the market; I will send the current list.
How much does an apartment in Sobha City Abu Dhabi cost?
Our database has no open listings for Sobha City Abu Dhabi at the moment. I will check the price of the layout you want against the closed databases and send it together with the deal costs.
Keeta Drone has signed an MoU with Sobha Realty to bring drone delivery to Sobha Hartland, home to 11 000+ residents — the service's first tie-up with a developer's smart community in the UAE. It already flies in Dubai Silicon Oasis and Nad Al Sheba. What it changes for tenants and owners.
A developer that builds with its own construction arm instead of appointing a main contractor. What that does to programme and quality, where the concentrated risk sits, and what to check.
Where this project stands today
I will send the available layouts, the real entry price and what owners and tenants actually say about the building — without the brochure language.
