  • Sobha Realty, a leading luxury real estate developer, today announced the launch of Sobha Sanctuary, its largest master-planned development in Dubai to date. Marking a defining milestone as the Sobha Group celebrates 50 years of legacy, excellence, and uncompromising quality, Sobha Sanctuary represents the developer’s most ambitious vision for integrated, wellness-led living in the emirate – delivered with the precision, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that have defined Sobha for five decades.

Spanning a total site area of ~37.5 million square feet, Sobha Sanctuary is a distinguished lifestyle destination rooted in nature and built for the future. Aligned with Dubai’s vision for sustainable and resilient urban growth, the development is designed and executed through Sobha’s fully backward integrated model, ensuring consistent quality control across design, engineering, construction and delivery. The result is aimed at a high-performing, wellness-driven urban environment that generates long-term social, environmental, and financial value, and is expected to cater to ~20,000 families.

At the heart of Sobha Sanctuary lies an expansive destination park, envisioned as the social, recreational, and ecological core of the community. Complementing this central park is a Community Mall offering retail, dining, and leisure experiences, alongside a state-of-the-art Wellness Centre, creating a vibrant daily-life hub where convenience, recreation, and wellbeing are seamlessly integrated. The park hosts a rich array of active lifestyle amenities, including football grounds, running tracks, padel courts, and a skate park, forming a dynamic wellness-oriented landscape.

From this central destination, the park extends into four continuous green corridors that traverse the site, ensuring every residence enjoys effortless access to nature, active experiences, and uninterrupted green vistas, within a vast 6km ‘Leisure Loop’. This loop further connects to an even larger mobility loop and a 9km wellness loop around the perimeter of the development. Comprising over 50,000 trees across the Sobha Sanctuary community, this integrated blue-green network supports spaces designed to help residents reflect, reconnect, and rejuvenate, while elevating everyday living through nature promenades, shaded walkways, and water features.

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Francis Alfred, Managing Director, Sobha Realty, said:
“Sobha Sanctuary represents a landmark moment for Sobha Realty as we mark 50 years of building with purpose, precision, and integrity. As our largest single development in Dubai to date, this masterplan reflects a long-term vision to create a community where nature, wellness, and thoughtful design come together at scale. Guided by our philosophy of quality without compromise and our ‘The Art of Detail’ ethos, Sobha Sanctuary is designed not only for families today, but for generations to come.”

The masterplan is guided by a holistic wellness framework that addresses every dimension of human wellbeing. Physical wellness is promoted through an extensive network of walking, jogging, and cycling trails, sports zones, fitness studios, and outdoor recreational spaces for all age groups. Mental wellness is supported through contemplative gardens, meditation zones, water features, and quiet retreats that foster calm and restoration. Social wellness is nurtured through inclusive public spaces, community hubs, event lawns, and cultural venues that encourage interaction and shared experiences across generations.

Environmental wellness is embedded through sustainable design strategies, energy- and water-efficient systems, biodiversity-rich landscapes, and green corridors that enhance air quality and microclimate performance. Economic and civic wellness are supported through mixed-use nodes, opportunities for local entrepreneurship, safe and accessible streets, and thoughtfully designed public realms that strengthen community cohesion and civic pride, while smart mobility solutions and sustainable infrastructure ensure the community remains adaptable and future-ready.

Sobha Sanctuary is envisioned as a fully integrated, mixed-use destination, home to a world-class hospital facility, two international schools, a large retail offering, and a benchmark wellness centre, all strategically distributed across the masterplan to ensure equitable accessibility and everyday convenience. A layered network of green spines connects the community amenities to villa neighbourhoods and mixed-use precincts, promoting walkability, cycling, and active mobility while reducing reliance on vehicles – reflecting Sobha’s commitment to creating efficiently functioning, people-centric communities.

The development will feature ~20,000 residential units, including around ~18,000 apartments and ~2,000 villas across categories, delivered across multiple phases. The first phase of launch will focus on villa living, with a limited release of ~250 units across villa categories.

Villas at Sobha Sanctuary are thoughtfully planned within a forest-inspired landscape, balancing privacy with strong community connectivity. All villas enjoy direct access to open green spaces, transforming the landscape into a natural extension of the home. Architectural design follows a minimalist modern aesthetic, characterised by clean lines, expansive windows, generous terraces, private courtyards, and beyond; creating refined homes that emphasise calm, comfort, and indoor-outdoor living.

Beyond its experiential role, the integrated green network also functions as critical ecological infrastructure. Designed to manage stormwater through bioswales, retention landscapes, and integrated water bodies, it enhances flood resilience and supports groundwater recharge. Layered planting strategies help mitigate heat, improve air quality, and enhance the microclimate.

Strategically located, Sobha Sanctuary offers convenient connectivity to Dubai’s key districts and major road networks, balancing a sense of exclusivity with accessibility. As development progresses over the coming years, Sobha Sanctuary is set to emerge as one of Dubai’s most significant master-planned communities, an enduring expression of nature-led living, refined wellness, and future-ready urban design.

94% OF MENOPAUSAL WOMEN REPORT SLEEP PROBLEMS, DRIVING DEMAND FOR BETTER SOLUTIONS

Published

on

With an estimated 1.2 billion women expected to be menopausal or postmenopausal by 2030 and approximately 47 million women entering menopause each year, health experts are calling for greater awareness of one of the most common yet often overlooked symptoms of menopause, sleep disruption.

Despite impacting millions of women worldwide, menopause continues to be surrounded by stigma and remains one of the least discussed areas of women’s health. Sleep challenges, in particular, are emerging as a significant concern. According to the National Council on Aging (NCOA), more than 40% of women in perimenopause experience sleep problems, while between 52% and 64% of postmenopausal women struggle to achieve restorative sleep.

The scale of the issue is further highlighted by research involving women who had experienced their final menstrual period within the previous three years on behalf of REST. The study found that 94.5% reported difficulty sleeping, 92% experienced forgetfulness, 87% reported irritability, 85.5% experienced night sweats, and 83% suffered from hot flashes.

Hot flashes and night sweats are among the leading causes of sleep interruption during menopause. Medical experts explain that declining estrogen levels can make the body’s temperature regulation system more sensitive, triggering sudden feelings of intense heat that frequently disrupt sleep. As a result, maintaining a cool and comfortable sleeping environment has become increasingly important for women navigating menopause.

Responding to this growing need, innovative cooling sleep technologies are helping women improve sleep quality and manage menopause-related discomfort. Among these solutions is the Evercool Cooling Comforter, designed to regulate temperature throughout the night by rapidly absorbing and transferring body heat. Developed using advanced cooling fabric technology, the material is engineered to remain cooler than conventional fabrics such as cotton, bamboo, silk, and Tencel, helping to reduce heat accumulation that can contribute to nighttime discomfort.

In addition to its cooling capabilities, the comforter features moisture-wicking properties designed to draw excess humidity away from the body and accelerate evaporation, helping users stay dry during episodes of night sweats. The ultra-soft microdenier fabric also delivers a smooth and comfortable sleeping experience, while its cooling performance is achieved without the use of chemical additives, making it suitable for individuals with sensitive skin.

As awareness around menopause and women’s health continues to grow globally, sleep is increasingly being recognized as a critical component of overall wellbeing. With millions of women experiencing disrupted sleep due to hot flashes and night sweats, cooling sleep solutions are emerging as an important tool in helping women achieve more comfortable, restorative rest during one of life’s most significant transitions.

AMIS BREAKS GROUND ON JACOB & CO.’S VILLA COMMUNITY IN MEYDAN, SHOWCASES NEAR-COMPLETE WOODLAND RESIDENCES

Published

on

AMIS GPD Development, one of Dubai’s fastest-growing real estate developers, has broken ground on its sixth project in less than two years, with the commencement of construction on Fleurs de Jardin, its landmark branded villa community created in partnership with high jewelry, high watchmaking brand, Jacob & Co. in Meydan District 11. The milestone further strengthens the company’s rapidly expanding portfolio, which now exceeds AED 2 billion in current development value across more than 340 units, while reinforcing confidence in the UAE’s resilient real estate sector and long-term economic vision.

Backed by a fully funded, debt-free business model and supported by institutional capital from Asia, AMIS Development has established itself as a developer-first organisation focused on execution, quality and timely delivery. The groundbreaking of Fleurs de Jardin marks another significant step in the company’s growth journey as it advances towards a projected AED 5 billion development pipeline by the end of 2026. This rapid expansion is laying the foundations for a future public listing within the next three to four years targeting a USD 10 Billion valuation.

Since entering the UAE market, AMIS Development has expanded its footprint through a carefully curated portfolio of luxury residential developments. In under two years, the company has launched six projects across Dubai, demonstrating its ability to identify high-growth locations, secure strategic partnerships and accelerate delivery timelines. Following and learning from the UAE growth story, AMIS believes in building trust by proof of delivery. Despite being among the last developers to acquire land within Meydan District 11, AMIS is now on track to become one of the first to complete and handover a community within the district when they deliver their Woodland Residences next year, also located here in District 11. This spectacular project with premium finishes and quality including surfaces made by Automobili Lamborghini, gives a first-hand look at the quality, scale and design approach AMIS is bringing to this location. This project truly reflects the company’s execution-led approach and commitment to delivering value for investors and homeowners alike.

The Fleurs de Jardin Villa Community is an exclusive residential offering by AMIS GPD Development,  named after one of the most delicate and elaborate Jacob & Co. timepiece collections. It comprises ultra-luxury villas and mansions designed to offer residents the highest levels of privacy, craftsmanship and luxury living. The community features five-bedroom villas and six-bedroom grand mansions, each designed to reflect Jacob & Co.’s one-of-a-kind aesthetic, refined detailing and distinctive approach to luxury.

Commenting on this milestone, Neeraj Mishra, Founder and CEO of AMIS GPD Development, said: “The groundbreaking of Fleurs de Jardin is much bigger than the start of construction on a single project. It reflects the strength of the UAE’s real estate market and the confidence that investors continue to place in the country’s long-term vision. In less than two years, we have grown our portfolio to more than AED 2 billion in development value across six projects while maintaining a fully funded, debt-free position. This disciplined approach has enabled us to move quickly, build before selling and deliver with confidence. Fleurs de Jardin represents the next chapter in our growth story and reinforces our commitment to creating exceptional communities that contribute to Dubai’s evolution as a global destination for investment and luxury living. As we continue to scale towards a AED 5 billion pipeline, our focus remains unchanged: execution, quality and creating long-term value for our stakeholders.”

Jacob Arabo, Founder and Chairman of Jacob & Co., added: “The groundbreaking of Fleurs de Jardin reflects the strength of our partnership with AMIS GPD Development and our shared vision for creating truly exceptional residential experiences. We are excited to see this unique project move from concept to reality and look forward to once again bringing Jacob & Co.’s craftsmanship, exclusivity and creativity into luxury real estate.”

With a rapidly expanding portfolio, strong financial fundamentals and a clear roadmap for future expansion, the company is positioning itself among the region’s emerging development leaders while laying the foundations for its next phase of growth, including future capital market ambitions.
