Abu Dhabi’s property sector is welcoming a major new player as Sobha Realty announces its official launch of Sobha City.
Set across a vast 38 million square feet in Al Bahiya, the new waterfront development represents one of the largest master-planned residential communities announced in the emirate to date.
A Major Milestone for Sobha Realty
The launch marks a significant expansion for Sobha Realty, which has built a strong reputation for high-end, detail-driven developments in international markets.
Its move into Abu Dhabi reflects growing confidence in the capital’s long-term investment potential and rising demand for premium residential communities.
Sobha City is being positioned as a fully integrated destination, offering a diverse range of housing options alongside lifestyle-focused infrastructure.
The development plans include apartments, villas, and townhouses, all designed with an emphasis on quality, space, and modern living in the capital.

Waterfront Living in Al Bahiya
Located in Al Bahiya, the project is set to offer a quieter alternative to the city centre, while remaining well-connected to key destinations such as Yas Island and major transport routes.
The waterfront setting is expected to be a defining feature, with an emphasis on scenic views and outdoor living next to blue space.
The masterplan also prioritises green spaces and walkability, featuring landscaped parks, pedestrian-friendly zones, and a variety of community amenities.
Schools, retail outlets, and leisure facilities are expected to be integrated into the development, creating a self-sustained environment for families in the area.
Boosting Abu Dhabi’s Real Estate Landscape
The scale and ambition of Sobha City underline the continued evolution of Abu Dhabi’s property market, which has been attracting increasing interest from both local and international buyers for a sustained period of time.
Large-scale developments like this are helping to diversify housing options while supporting the emirate’s long-term urban vision and creating more homes for the region.
As construction plans progress, Sobha City is likely to play a defining role in shaping the next phase of residential living in Abu Dhabi.
With many appealing housing developments to live in, Sobha City might be setting a new benchmark.
