‘SOBHA CITY’: ABU DHABI’S NEW NATURE-LED WATERFRONT LIVING COMMUNITY

Leading luxury property developer Sobha Realty has announced its entry into Abu Dhabi with the unveiling of Sobha City, a master-planned community that reflects a deliberately quiet and serene approach to urban living in the UAE capital.
Marking the developer’s first large-scale residential development in Abu Dhabi, Sobha City represents a significant milestone rooted in a 50-year legacy of craftsmanship and a long-term commitment to shaping environments that prioritize wellbeing, design integrity, and enduring value. Long associated with refined, design-led communities across Dubai and Umm Al Quwain (UAQ), Sobha Realty’s move into the UAE capital aligns with Abu Dhabi’s continued evolution as a global destination defined by stability, cultural depth, and quality of life.
Set in Al Bahiya along the prime E10 and E12 corridor, close to Zayed International Airport and Yas Island, Sobha City unfolds as a low-density, nature-led Madinat designed around space, light, and movement. Spanning approximately 38 million square feet, with an initial phase of around 8 million sq. ft. of land area, the development is envisioned as a “city within a city” that will evolve into a fully integrated, self-sustained ecosystem. Designed for family-oriented living, the gated masterplan demonstrates a commitment to crafting complete communities, where everyday living is shaped by balancing privacy, connectivity, and wellbeing.
Designed with nature at its core, ~60% of the masterplan is dedicated to open and green spaces, with more than 50,000 trees, forest-inspired landscapes, and shaded walkways shaping a seamless sense of quiet continuity. An expansive wellness loop spanning over 18 km encourages a slower, more intentional pace of life, while pedestrian-first pathways reinforce a lifestyle centred on movement, health, and ease.

“Abu Dhabi holds a unique position as a city that balances cultural authenticity with forward-looking ambition, and our entry reflects a long-term belief in its evolution not just as a solid real estate market, but as a place where communities can grow with family-oriented intention,” said Ravi Menon, Chairman, Sobha Group. “Sobha City has been envisioned as a living environment that feels calm, enduring, and deeply connected to its surroundings, while being future-ready.”
A defining feature of Sobha City is its two-kilometre waterfront promenade and integrated marina destination, which brings together leisure, retail, and social spaces in a vibrant, yet considered, way. Schools, healthcare facilities, mosques, and an executive Par-3 golf course, masterfully designed by Greg Norman Golf Course Design. These are all thoughtfully embedded within the masterplan, ensuring essential elements of daily life remain within easy reach.
Drawing inspiration from Abu Dhabi’s coastal, natural landscapes, the City’s design reflects a contemporary interpretation of place where water, greenery, and architecture create an environment that feels both modern and rooted. The result is a ‘live-connect-restore’ ecosystem that is calm, refined, intuitively connected to its surroundings yet with future-ready infrastructure.
Sobha City will offer a diverse mix of residences, including waterfront apartments, estate and garden villas, and mansions catering to a wide spectrum of residents, from families seeking a sense of permanence to global investors looking for stability and long-term value.
Each residence will reflect Sobha Realty’s hallmark ‘The Art of Detail’, with high-quality finishes, open layouts, and technology-enabled living environments that prioritise comfort, functionality, and longevity. Globally recognised for its proprietary Backward Integration model, Sobha Realty maintains full control over design, engineering, and construction processes in an approach that has consistently delivered superior quality and above-market performance across its portfolio.
Mr Francis Alfred, Sobha Realty’s Managing Director, added: “As we expand our footprint into Abu Dhabi, Sobha City will be embodiment of our vertically integrated approach to development ensuring not only exceptional quality but also long-term resilience and value. This position us strongly within a market driven by sustained population growth, investor-friendly policies, and projected increased demand for integrated, lifestyle-oriented developments.”
The launch further strengthens Sobha Realty’s presence in the UAE, complementing its portfolio of developments across Dubai and Umm Al Quwain, including destinations such as Sobha Siniya Island and Downtown UAQ| Sobha Realty. Its entry into Abu Dhabi comes as the emirate reaffirms its commitment to economic diversification, infrastructure development, and a renewed focus on liveability and sustainability. The launch aligns with Abu Dhabi Vision 2030, which seeks to foster a knowledge-based economy supported by thoughtfully planned, high-quality communities.
As the UAE capital determines to evolve into a globally competitive hub, Sobha Realty’s entry with nature-led master community signals both confidence and commitment, positioning the developer at the forefront of the emirate’s next growth chapter.

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