Sobha Coraline Beach Residences on Siniyah Island, Umm Al Quwain
Sobha Realty has three towers underway on Siniyah Island, a coastal enclave within Umm Al Quwain Marina. Coraline Beach Residences offers 2-bedroom apartments across Tower A, B, and C. Construction broke ground in October 2024, putting handover on track for October 2028. Here is what the data shows for a buyer evaluating this now.
Siniyah Island: What the Location Actually Means
Umm Al Quwain sits north of Sharjah along the UAE's Gulf coast, lower density and less built up than Dubai or Abu Dhabi. Siniyah Island falls within the emirate's marina district, a waterfront area with beach access. It is not a commuter's address. The drive to central Dubai takes roughly an hour, so buyers considering this project are choosing a coastal lifestyle over city proximity.
That distinction matters for how you read the investment case. The beach and marina setting is a specific draw, not a generic residential location. For end users, the appeal is a beachfront apartment in a quieter part of the UAE at an entry point below AED 2.1M.
AED 2 Million to AED 2.5 Million: What the Spread Tells You
Prices start at AED 2,036,118 and reach AED 2,513,924 across the development. Every unit is a 2-bedroom apartment, with sizes running from 875 sq ft to 1,036 sq ft. The price gap across the development is roughly AED 478K on comparable floor plans, which points to tower positioning rather than product differences.
Tower A carries the lowest starting price at AED 2,036,118. Tower C begins at AED 2,185,522 for similar layouts. Tower B sits at the top at AED 2,513,924 for a 1,036 sq ft unit. The pricing hierarchy suggests view corridor and position within the island drive the premium from one tower to the next. A buyer targeting the lowest entry takes Tower A; a buyer paying for prime placement looks at Tower B.
Two-Bedroom Apartments Across Three Towers
The project offers 2-bedroom apartments only, with no smaller configurations. Most layouts sit between 875 sq ft and 1,036 sq ft. The consistent product across all three towers means the selection decision comes down to price point and tower position, not unit type. This suits both investors looking for a single-type rental asset and buyers who want a compact beach residence without the complexity of a larger unit.
Two Ways to Pay, Both Landing at 40% at Handover
| Milestone | Option 1 | Option 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Down payment | N/A | 20% |
| During construction | 60% | 40% |
| At handover | 40% | 40% |
Option 1 loads 60% across the construction period with no named deposit. Option 2 requires a 20% down payment upfront, then 40% during construction and 40% at handover. Both options converge on the same handover obligation.
The 40% due at completion is the most significant planning factor at this price level. On a AED 2M unit, that is approximately AED 800K landing in October 2028. Option 2's upfront 20% reduces the construction-phase load but front-loads the cash commitment. Option 1 preserves initial liquidity at the cost of heavier mid-phase payments.
October 2028: Mid-Build Entry Point
Construction began in October 2024, putting the project roughly 18 months in as of mid-2026. Handover targets October 2028, leaving approximately 27 months remaining. This is a mid-cycle entry: past the early speculative phase, with a predictable remaining timeline before completion.
The construction-to-handover window of about two years gives buyers a workable horizon for managing the phased payments and arranging any end-stage financing.
