It's planned to eventually house around 20,000 families across roughly 18,000 apartments and 2,000 villas, delivered in phases over four to eight years.

Question 2

What is Abode within Sobha Sanctuary?

Accepted Answer

Abode is an apartment launch within the Sobha Sanctuary masterplan, offering 1 and 2-bedroom units at a more accessible price point than the community's villa-first initial phase.

Question 3

When does Sobha Sanctuary hand over?

Accepted Answer

Publicly reported handovers are scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2029, with the community delivered across multiple phases over four to eight years in total. The first phase released was villas; Abode is a later apartment release, and its own handover timeline should be confirmed directly before committing.

Question 4

Is Sobha Realty a reliable developer?

Accepted Answer

Sobha Realty was established in 1976 as an interior decoration firm in Oman by P.N.C. Menon, and has grown into one of the Gulf's larger developers, headquartered in Dubai with a reported revenue around US$1 billion.
