Location and lifestyle
Sobha City is Sobha Realty’s first master community in Abu Dhabi, in Al Bahyah close to Yas Island. Around 60% of the masterplan is green and open space, with tens of thousands of trees, a long wellness loop and a waterfront promenade. Yas Mall, Yas Beach and SeaWorld are a short drive away, and Zayed International Airport is within easy reach.
Payment plan explained
Sobha River Cove Residences is offered on a 60/40 plan: roughly 60% is paid (starting with a 20% booking amount) before or during construction and 40% on handover. On a unit at AED 1.31M, the booking amount is about AED 262,000. Because a large share falls due at handover, many buyers plan to use a mortgage for that final payment.
Who Sobha River Cove Residences suits
Investors seeking an entry-level branded-developer apartment near Yas, and young professionals or couples who value green, waterfront surroundings.
