Dubai Master Development Launched

Sobha Realty has unveiled Sobha Sanctuary, a Dh50 billion master-planned community in Dubai, marking the company's largest single project to date. Spanning 37.5 million sq ft off Al Ain Road, near Sobha Elwood, the development will be delivered in phases over four to eight years, with the first handovers expected from Q3 2029. The project aims to accommodate approximately 20,000 families, featuring around 20,000 residential units, including 18,000 apartments and 2,000 villas. Prices will start from Dh3.99 million.

Sobha Sanctuary is designed as a nature-led, wellness-driven community, with a central destination park as its focal point. The development will incorporate a community mall, a wellness center, and various active amenities, including sports grounds and a skate park. Green corridors will extend from the park, connecting to leisure and wellness loops. The landscaping plan includes over 50,000 trees, with 50% of the land dedicated to open spaces, parks, water bodies, and community facilities.

The community will be a layered environment, with gated villa precincts and apartment clusters supporting large-scale amenities. The masterplan includes two international schools, a hospital, and a large retail offering, all connected by green spaces to encourage walking and cycling. Sobha emphasizes daily liveability, focusing on the value and quality of life within the community. The project is planned to be delivered in at least three phases, with handovers starting from Q3 2029 and spanning four to eight years.

Sobha views the development as a long-term investment tied to Dubai's continued growth. The company believes that scale, quality, and community-led design will define the next phase of residential demand in Dubai.
