The Woods by Sobha Realty: Apartments in Sobha Sanctuary from AED 999K
The Woods is a residential apartment project by Sobha Realty within the Sobha Sanctuary master community in Dubai. It covers one- and two-bedroom apartments, all with balconies, sitting inside a planned community rather than as a standalone tower.
Where Sobha Sanctuary Sits and What That Means
Sobha Sanctuary occupies a stretch of northeastern Dubai with direct access to Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. Dubai Creek Harbour is nearby. Downtown Dubai and Business Bay are roughly 20 to 25 minutes by road in normal traffic. Dubai International Airport is in the same direction and takes a similar amount of time.
The masterplanned setting provides residents with shared landscaped areas, an internal road network, and community infrastructure that The Woods draws on directly.
AED 999K to AED 1.6M: What the Range Covers
The price gap between the bottom and top of this project is AED 601,000, which reflects two genuinely different products rather than variants of the same thing.
One-bedroom apartments start at AED 999,000 across layouts running 540 to 546 sq ft. That puts them at approximately AED 1,830 per sq ft. These work for investors seeking a compact off-plan ticket at sub-AED 1 million, or buyers who want a manageable commitment in a Sobha Realty address.
Two-bedroom apartments start at AED 1,600,000 at 964 sq ft, roughly AED 1,660 per sq ft. The per-square-foot rate is lower for the two-bedroom. Buyers who can stretch the budget get meaningfully more space at a proportionally lower rate per square foot.
Apartment Layouts
All units are apartments with balconies. One-bedroom layouts run around 540 to 546 sq ft across multiple variants. Two-bedroom units sit at 964 sq ft. The asset class is straightforwardly residential, with no villas or townhouses in the mix.
Amenities
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Wellness | Gymnasium, Yoga room, Jacuzzi & Steam |
| Pools | Shared Pool, Children's Pool |
| Family | Children Nursery, Barbecue Area |
| Lifestyle | Pets Allowed |
The wellness cluster covers the basics well: a full gymnasium, a yoga room, and a jacuzzi/steam room. Taken together, they suggest the project is aimed at residents who treat fitness as a regular habit. The children's nursery and dedicated children's pool make this a practical family building. Pets are permitted, which is selective enough in Dubai to matter for buyers with animals.
Construction Starting July 2026: A December 2030 Completion
Construction is scheduled to begin July 2, 2026, which is less than a month away. Expected completion is December 30, 2030, giving a build timeline of approximately four and a half years.
Buyers entering now are buying before ground breaks. The 2030 completion creates a mid-decade horizon for occupancy or rental yield.
Payment Structure: Two Options, Both Clearing at Handover
| Stage | Option 1 | Option 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Down Payment | - | 20% |
| During Construction | 60% | 40% |
| At Handover | 40% | 40% |
Option 2's 20% down payment is a defined upfront commitment, with 40% spread through the build and 40% at handover. Option 1 skips a named down payment and puts 60% into the construction phase, which suits buyers who prefer to pay progressively rather than commit a lump sum at the outset.
Neither option includes post-handover installments. The full payment obligation clears at handover in both cases.
