Sobha Elwood on Al Ain Road

Sobha Elwood at a glance

Seven forests and 10,000 trees: what Sobha planned for Elwood

Sobha Realty describes Elwood as a sanctuary whose design draws on the world's seven largest forests, with more than 10,000 trees across 416,000 square metres of open spaces and parks. The villas come with four, five or six bedrooms.

The community facilities on Sobha's page, read on 8 November 2026:

• A community shopping centre, a clinic and a clubhouse
• An on-site school and a daycare
• Lap pools, splash pads and adventure parks
• Sports courts and children's play areas

Sobha's page does not publish villa sizes or a villa count; the DLD register gives 305 units.

265 of 305 sold in the register: getting an Elwood villa today

By 29 October 2026 the DLD had registered 265 sales in Elwood Estates against 305 units. Only 68 of them fall in the 12 months to September 2026, a sign that most villas found buyers in the months after the project entered the register on 29 April 2025. That count includes contracts resold by first buyers, and Sobha's own page states no availability, so neither the register nor the developer settles whether any villa is left with Sobha.

1. Sobha first. NAHY asks Sobha's sales team whether a villa is still open and sends you the answer the same day.
2. Resale of a contract. NAHY checks the seller's Oqood, the payments made into the First Abu Dhabi Bank escrow account, the plot and villa type against the DLD record, and Sobha's no objection certificate for the transfer.

Villa layouts and resale asking prices go out on WhatsApp.

Villas on sale beside Elwood: Sanctuary's Grove, Brooks and Greens

The nearest villas still being sold are in Sobha's own next project. Gulf News placed Sobha Sanctuary close to Elwood when Sobha unveiled it on 26 January 2026. The DLD registers its villa phases in the same district, Al Yufrah 1, and Sobha's villas page listed all three on 8 November 2026.

The Grove is the closest match to an Elwood villa, with up to six bedrooms. The same district also holds Emaar's community, where Emaar's sales page listed five bedroom villas at Ovelle on 8 November 2026: see The Valley by Emaar.

Elwood Estates on paper: registration, escrow and the June 2028 date

• 29 April 2025: Elwood Estates registered with the DLD as project 3602
• 15 July 2025: construction start recorded
• Last inspection: 14.35% built
• 30 June 2028: completion declared to the DLD

Sobha's Elwood page gives no handover month, so the register is the only dated reference. At 14.35% built, a villa is still a long way from keys, and a resale buyer takes over the remaining payment schedule along with the contract. NAHY reads that schedule, and the date in the Oqood, before you sign anything.

Five Sobha registrations in Al Yufrah 1

Elwood was the first. Between July and August 2026 Sobha L.L.C registered four more entries in the same district, the Sobha Sanctuary phases The Woods, The Greens, The Brooks and The Grove. With Elwood's 305 units, Sobha's Al Yufrah 1 register now holds 2,300 units, by NAHY's count of the DLD register.

Sobha unveiled Sanctuary as a community of about 20,000 homes (Gulf News, 26 January 2026), so Elwood, with 305 villas, is the small, early neighbour in a much larger Sobha district.
