Sobha One by the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary

Sobha One at a glance

From 4.9% to 86.2%: nine inspections before the keys

Four years after its 2022 launch, Sobha One is in its finishing stretch. The DLD has inspected the site nine times:

Since May 2025 the pace has been close to 3 points a month. Sobha includes Sobha One in the 6,819 homes it plans to hand over during 2026 across five projects (Khaleej Times, 21 July 2026). The DLD data NAHY reads shows no declared completion date, so NAHY asks Sobha which towers have received their handover notice before you sign.

Pitch and putt, sky courts and a waterfront esplanade

At the 2022 launch Sobha described five interconnected towers facing the Ras Al Khor sanctuary, with views of the Creek, Burj Khalifa and Downtown, and a plan built around:

• An 18 hole pitch and putt golf course with a clubhouse
• A polyclinic and a mosque
• A food and beverage esplanade by the water, which Sobha's page now gives as half a kilometre long
• Sky courts for barbecues, relaxation and private parties, and themed courtyards linked on the sixth floor
• Sky terraces, infinity pools, a fitness centre and concierge services

Sobha's page also places the towers close to Sobha Hartland and its schools.

One bedrooms of about 727 sq ft lead the resale register

Every Sobha One sale the DLD recorded between October 2025 and September 2026 was registered as off-plan, 223 in all. Of the 210 with a bedroom count:

Sales kept coming through 2026: 27 sales in January, never fewer than 7 in a month, 23 in September and about 17 more in October up to the 29th. For a buyer who wants to live there or let the flat soon after the keys, that is a steady flow of resale contracts to choose from.

Buying Sobha One weeks or months before the keys

By 29 October 2026 the DLD had recorded 3,281 transactions against 3,057 units, so contracts have changed hands, and NAHY found no Sobha page showing Sobha One availability. A purchase now is a resale, and close to handover the paperwork matters more than the view.

Units also come back to Sobha when an earlier buyer cancels, and NAHY Real Estate can place a buyer on those Sobha One units as they are released. There is no fixed number, so a broker confirms with Sobha which unit, tower and payment terms are on offer before anything is signed. On a resale, NAHY checks:

1. The Oqood and the tower. The registered contract, the unit it names and whether that tower has a handover notice from Sobha.
2. What is left to pay. The amount already in the Dubai Islamic Bank escrow and the balance due to Sobha at completion, which the buyer takes over.
3. Sobha's no objection certificate. The transfer is recorded at the DLD with the developer's consent, never by side agreement.

If no resale fits, NAHY looks at Sobha's own lists: Sobha Hartland II in MBR City and Sobha Central on Sheikh Zayed Road both had towers listed by Sobha subject to availability on 8 November 2026.

The Element and Sobha One: 346 of the area's 599 sales

The DLD area Ras Al Khor Industrial First recorded 599 sales between October 2025 and September 2026, 98.7% off-plan. Sobha's two entries there accounted for 346: Sobha One with 223 and The Element at Sobha One with 123.

The Element is the newer tower: project 3540, 401 units registered on 17 March 2025, 11.1% built on 11 August 2026 and completion declared for 31 December 2029, with escrow at First Abu Dhabi Bank. It had 279 transactions by 29 October 2026, which leaves at least 122 units without a registered sale. Sobha's Element page shows no availability, so NAHY asks Sobha before quoting any unit.

Sobha One: questions buyers ask

Has Sobha One been handed over?

Not according to the latest data NAHY read. The DLD recorded 86.2% built at the inspection of 24 August 2026, and Sobha named Sobha One among the projects it plans to deliver in 2026 (Khaleej Times, 21 July 2026). NAHY asks Sobha for the handover notice of each tower.

Can I still buy a Sobha One apartment from Sobha?

NAHY found no Sobha page showing availability, and the DLD has recorded 3,281 transactions for 3,057 units, so contracts are already being resold. A Sobha One home is bought from an owner, with Sobha's no objection certificate.

Where exactly is Sobha One?

Facing the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary near Ras Al Khor Road; the DLD registers it in Ras Al Khor Industrial First.

How tall are the Sobha One towers?

Sobha describes five interlinked towers of 30 to 65 storeys on 1.5 million sq ft.

Does Sobha One have a golf course?

It is in Sobha's plan: an 18 hole pitch and putt course with a clubhouse, announced at the 2022 launch. The project was 86.2% built at the DLD inspection of 24 August 2026.

What is The Element at Sobha One?

A separate Sobha tower registered on 17 March 2025 with 401 units, 11.1% built in August 2026, with completion declared for 31 December 2029. NAHY asks Sobha whether it still has units.

Where can I see Sobha One resale prices?

On WhatsApp: write to NAHY at +971 55 650 7737 and a broker sends the Sobha One resales on the market, tower by tower, with each seller's payment position.
