The developerBuilt in-house, end to end
Sobha runs land, design, engineering, manufacturing, construction, interiors and landscaping itself — a backward-integrated model Harvard Business School has studied. Its other communities we cover are Sobha Seahaven at Dubai Harbour and Sobha City in Abu Dhabi.
Why this project
The largest master plan Sobha has drawn
37.5 million sq ft in Dubailand, with around half the plan held as green and open space and more than fifty thousand trees across it.
Three named villa districts
The Grove holds the standalone estate villas. The Brooks carries the twin villas and townhouses along the central green spine. The Willows is the quieter townhouse enclave among the meditation gardens and forest trails.
A community planned to run on its own
Two international schools, a hospital, a community mall, mosques and a wellness centre sit inside the master plan, alongside a central park of roughly 800,000 sq ft.
The wellness programme is the plan
A nine kilometre wellness loop, a five kilometre leisure loop and twenty kilometres of connected cycling paths, with a beach lagoon and a lazy river.
Every standalone villa carries the same list
A private swimming pool, a ground-floor guest bedroom with en-suite, a maid's room, and both a formal living room and a first-floor family living room. The four bedroom types add a study.
Sobha builds every part of it itself
Land, design, engineering, manufacturing, construction, interiors and landscaping all run in-house — a backward-integrated model that Harvard Business School has studied.
Sobha Sanctuary Location
Sobha Sanctuary occupies a large inland site in Dubailand, on the corridor formed by Lehbab Road and Al Ain Road. The parcel is what makes the plan possible: 37.5 million sq ft is a scale that needs land of this size.
By handover in August 2029 the community is planned to operate as a small town in its own right, with two international schools, a hospital and a community mall inside the master plan. Al Maktoum International Airport is thirty minutes away and Academic City twenty.
