Sobha Realty's first master-planned community in Abu Dhabi
Sobha City is a master-planned community in Abu Dhabi by Sobha Realty. Sobha's master brochure calls it the company's first master-planned community in the capital and describes it as structured by water, landscape and movement, with canals, open spaces and green corridors running through the plan.
Sobha's fact book gives an anticipated completion date of December 2029 for its apartments and villas. The master brochure and fact book carry no printed date. Their files were created in April 2026.
The community has four parts, each with its own Sobha brochure: River Cove Residences at Sobha City, Villaments at River Cove Residences at Sobha City, The Orchard at Sobha City and The Terraces at Sobha City. The Orchard is Sobha's collection of private villas of four to six bedrooms. The Terraces is its collection of garden villas.
Homes
Sobha's fact book lists three kinds of home. Apartments sit in the River Cove Residences towers and have a private balcony. Garden villas and estate villas are set in the landscape. The fact book prints these villa sizes, in square feet, as saleable area and plot area.
