Sobha Orbis in Motor City

Sobha Orbis at a glance

4,086 sales in a year: Motor City around Orbis

The DLD records Sobha Orbis in Al Hebiah First, the district of the Motor City community. In the 12 months to September 2026 the register counted 4,086 sales in Motor City, and Orbis was one of several large off-plan projects behind them:

• Sobha Solis, Sobha's second Motor City project: 574 sales
• Binghatti Skyterraces: 642
• Sierra by Iman: 527
• Sobha Orbis: 273

Across the community, one bedroom apartments led with 1,869 sales, against 701 two bedrooms. Motor City apartments averaged AED 1,865 per sq ft in DLD sales from September 2024 to August 2026, a reference for the area over that period, not a current price or a price for Orbis.

One and two bedrooms: what Orbis buyers have registered

Sobha has not published the Orbis unit mix in a source NAHY could read, so the register is the guide. Of the 273 sales recorded in the 12 months to September 2026, 250 carry a bedroom count:

The twelve latest transactions, from 13 July to 28 September 2026, were ten one bedrooms of 545 to 732 sq ft and two two bedrooms of 992 sq ft, all registered as off-plan. NAHY sends Sobha's floor plans for the layout you choose on WhatsApp.

Four DLD inspections, from 0% to 18.2%

Between July 2025 and August 2026 the site gained about 0.9 percentage points a month. To finish by the declared 31 December 2028, the remaining 81.8 points need close to 2.9 a month, by NAHY's arithmetic on the DLD readings. The declared completion is a register field, not a promise; a resale buyer should plan around it and ask Sobha for its current site schedule, which NAHY does before you commit.

From 1,530 sales in 2025 to 75 in 2026: buying an Orbis contract now

Registered sales fell from 115 in September 2025 to single digits in most months of 2026, with 3 in August and 5 in September. With 2,950 transactions recorded against 3,002 units, and the register running behind reservations, NAHY treats Orbis as a resale project and confirms with Sobha before quoting any developer unit. For an Orbis resale, NAHY checks:

1. The seller's Oqood and the unit it names.
2. Payments made into the Dubai Islamic Bank escrow and the balance still due before completion.
3. Sobha's no objection certificate for the transfer at the DLD.

If no Orbis resale fits, these are on sale with a dated source:

• Sobha Central on Sheikh Zayed Road: five towers listed by Sobha subject to availability on 8 November 2026.
• Sobha Hartland II in MBR City: towers listed by Sobha subject to availability on 8 November 2026.
• Binghatti Skyterraces, also in Motor City: 231 homes listed by Binghatti on 8 November 2026.

Sobha L.L.C in Motor City: Orbis and Solis side by side

Sobha registers its Dubai projects under Sobha L.L.C, developer number 966. In Motor City it has two: Orbis, registered on 5 July 2024 with 3,002 units, and Sobha Solis, registered on 17 January 2025 with 2,351 units. Both declare completion for 31 December 2028 and were at almost the same stage at their latest inspections, 18.2% and 17.92%. Solis had recorded 2,156 transactions against its 2,351 units by 29 October 2026, so NAHY checks both for resale and asks Sobha about developer stock in each. The newest Sobha entries in the register are elsewhere, from Sobha Skyparks in Business Bay (25 December 2025, 684 units) to the Sobha Sanctuary phases off Al Ain Road.

Sobha Orbis: questions buyers ask

Is Sobha Orbis sold out?

Sobha has not published Orbis stock in a source NAHY could read. The DLD shows 2,950 transactions for 3,002 units and only 75 sales from January to September 2026, so NAHY offers Orbis on resale and asks Sobha about any unit left.

What is the Sobha Orbis completion date?

31 December 2028, as declared to the DLD. Construction was 18.2% at the inspection of 13 August 2026.

What is the price per sq ft in Motor City?

Motor City apartments averaged AED 1,865 per sq ft in DLD sales from September 2024 to August 2026, an average over that period rather than a current median. The price of a specific Orbis unit depends on the resale seller.
