The Grove at Sobha Sanctuary

Sobha Sanctuary is planned for about 20,000 families across roughly 37.5 million sq ft, and the first phase offers first choice of plot, layout and setting. As schools, a community mall and a wellness centre are delivered around the central park, the community matures around its earliest owners. Resale is permitted once 50% of the price has been paid, which keeps an exit open before handover in Q3 2029, and early buyers choose from the full range of plots and layouts.

Villas are delivered semi-furnished, with a fitted kitchen, Bosch or Siemens appliances, a washer and dryer and built-in wardrobes, so a tenant needs only furniture, which shortens the road to a first lease. Private pools, gardens and a maid’s room are what family tenants look for in a villa. Gross yields for villas in established Dubai communities generally fall between 5% and 6% a year, a market range rather than a projection for this project.

Every estate villa at The Grove is priced well above the AED 2,000,000 threshold for the UAE Golden Visa, and off-plan purchases can qualify subject to the authorities' documentation. The visa gives 10-year renewable residency without a sponsor, with family included and no minimum stay, which suits owners who divide their time between Dubai and abroad. Eligibility is confirmed by the Dubai Land Department against the certified value of the property, and the villas clear the threshold comfortably.
