The Element at Sobha One

The Element at Sobha One is a single residential tower of 180 apartments within the Sobha One masterplan in Ras Al Khor, currently under construction and scheduled for completion in Q4 2028. Developed by Sobha, the building offers one- to four-bedroom residences priced from approximately AED 1.83 million to AED 10.49 million.

# A single tower on the Ras Al Khor waterfront

Ras Al Khor occupies an unusual position in Dubai's residential geography: close enough to the centre to be genuinely convenient, yet separated from it by a belt of protected wetland. The district sits along the creek estuary, giving buildings here a longer sightline than most addresses at comparable distances from Downtown.

The Element is the latest addition to Sobha One, a multi-tower masterplan on this stretch of Ras Al Khor. As a single building of 180 units, the scale is restrained by Dubai standards, which tends to translate into quieter lobbies and more manageable amenity ratios. Construction is under way, with delivery set for the fourth quarter of 2028.

# Residences, layouts and floor areas

The building covers four bedroom configurations. One-bedroom apartments cluster tightly in the low-to-mid 730s–750s square feet range, priced between AED 1.83 million and AED 1.9 million. The consistency in sizing across those units suggests a standardised floor plate, with price variation driven primarily by floor level.

Two-bedroom apartments show considerably more range, from around 952 square feet up to 1,516 square feet, with prices spanning AED 2.38 million to AED 3.83 million. That spread covers two distinct product types: compact two-beds suited to investors, and the larger formats above 1,260 square feet that read more credibly as owner-occupied family apartments.

Three-bedroom residences run from roughly 1,789 to 1,958 square feet, priced from AED 4.73 million to AED 5.1 million. Four-bedroom units occupy the upper tier, from approximately 3,287 to 3,785 square feet, with pricing from AED 8.33 million to AED 10.49 million. At that size, the four-beds are spacious even by the standards of larger Sobha developments.

All units are delivered semi-furnished. The developer's specification references equipped kitchens and high-quality materials; buyers should request the full finish schedule before committing. Service charges are set at AED 17 per square foot per year.

# Amenity provision across the building

The amenity list is broader than the building's compact unit count might suggest. The pool deck includes a jacuzzi alongside the main swimming pool, with an outdoor gym, yoga area, and battle ropes for fitness use without entering an enclosed space. A padel court and table tennis add recreational variety.

For residents working from home or seeking evening use, there is a cinema room. Families are served by a dedicated children's play area, and pet owners will note that the building includes designated pet-friendly spaces. An observation deck, outdoor BBQ, lawn with seating, and a cycling track complete the picture.

# What the amenities say about the target resident

The breadth here points at a particular buyer: active, household-oriented, and likely to use the building as a primary residence rather than a pied-à-terre. The padel court, cycling track, and pet areas are not features typically foregrounded in short-stay or investor-heavy schemes.

# Ras Al Khor: distances and daily connections

Kinderville Ras Al Khor, a nursery and early-years school, sits 1.9 kilometres away, relevant for families with young children. Dubai International Airport is 11.8 kilometres out, a meaningful advantage for buyers who travel frequently. Downtown Dubai is 12 kilometres from the site, reachable in under 20 minutes outside peak traffic.

Dubai Festival City Mall, 10.6 kilometres away, covers most day-to-day retail and dining requirements. The Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, a protected flamingo reserve managed by Dubai Municipality, is 8.2 kilometres from the building. It is one of the few genuinely natural landscapes accessible from a central Dubai address.

Jumeira Public Beach is 17.7 kilometres distant, which is a longer drive than buyers accustomed to coastal addresses in Dubai Marina or Palm Jumeirah will expect. Ras Al Khor is not a beachside district; its waterfront identity is the creek and wetlands, not the Gulf.

# Where The Element sits in the current Dubai market

The one-bedroom entry price of AED 1.83 million from a Sobha address, with a 2028 delivery, positions this building in the credible mid-range for off-plan purchases in an established developer's pipeline. Sobha carries a consistent reputation for delivery and finish quality, which mitigates some of the risk inherent in a project currently at zero per cent construction progress.

For buyers seeking a primary residence, the combination of relatively generous floor plates, a contained 180-unit building, and proximity to Dubai International Airport makes a coherent case. For investors, the compressed one-bedroom price points and Sobha's rental track record in comparable schemes will be the relevant metrics to examine.

The district itself is still forming its identity as a residential address. That carries both opportunity and patience as a requirement. Buyers who purchased early in analogous Sobha projects in other emerging Dubai districts have generally found the thesis sound over a five-to-seven year horizon. Whether Ras Al Khor follows that pattern depends on infrastructure delivery and the broader pace of the masterplan.
