Sobha One

Sobha One is a six-building residential development by Sobha Group, positioned in the Ras Al Khor district of Dubai and scheduled for completion in December 2026. The project comprises 27 residences across the cluster, ranging from one-bedroom apartments to larger three-bedroom homes, with construction currently 80.1 per cent complete.

# A multi-tower cluster in one of Dubai's quieter eastern corridors

Ras Al Khor sits east of Downtown Dubai, separated from the more publicised waterfront addresses by the wildlife sanctuary of the same name. It is not a district that trades on spectacle, which is partly the point. The area has attracted a measured, long-term residential audience rather than the transient buyer profile associated with the Marina or Palm corridors.

Sobha One is structured across six buildings rather than a single tower, giving the project a horizontal quality unusual for this part of the city. At 27 units in total, the count is modest. That low density, relative to the scale of the Sobha Group's other Hartland-adjacent schemes, shapes the ownership experience considerably.

# Residences: layouts, sizing and specification

The available units run from approximately 733 square feet at the one-bedroom entry point to 2,238 square feet for the three-bedroom configuration. Pricing opens at AED 1,816,625 for the smallest one-bedrooms and reaches AED 4,251,845 for the largest unit currently listed.

One-bedroom apartments make up the majority of available inventory, with most clustered tightly between 733 and 808 square feet. The price gradient within that band reflects floor position and orientation rather than significant changes in floor area. All residences are delivered semi-furnished.

The three-bedroom at 2,237 square feet sits at the upper end of what Ras Al Khor typically offers at this developer tier. At AED 4,251,845, it represents a different buyer calculation entirely, one suited to a household that needs genuine living space rather than an investment-grade footprint.

Service charges are set at AED 20 per square foot.

# Amenities within the development

The shared facilities at Sobha One include an open pool, a courtyard, a kids play area, and dining outlets on site. The provision is functional rather than resort-scale, which aligns with the low unit count.

For buyers accustomed to amenity lists that run to fifteen or twenty items, the offering here is sparse on paper. The counterargument is maintenance cost and exclusivity of use: 27 households sharing a pool and courtyard is a different daily reality from 300 sharing the same.

# Ras Al Khor's position in the city grid

# Schools within a short drive

North London Collegiate School is 0.8 kilometres from the development, a three-minute drive. The International School of Creative Science sits 7.8 kilometres away, reachable in roughly ten minutes. For families with school-age children, that proximity to a British-curriculum school at 0.8 kilometres is a practical anchor that influences the location decision before any other factor.

Dubai International Airport is 10.8 kilometres out, a twelve-minute drive under normal conditions. Dubai Mall and the Downtown cluster sit at ten kilometres, also around twelve minutes. These are not peripheral numbers. Ras Al Khor is better connected to central Dubai than its quieter character might suggest.

Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah are both approximately 27 to 29 kilometres west, placing them in the 27 to 30 minute bracket. The western end of the city is accessible, not immediate.

# Who this development is built for

Sobha One is not a straightforward yield-play address. The unit count is too small and the price per square foot too measured to attract the volume-investor profile that cycles through Downtown or Business Bay. It reads more clearly as an owner-occupier proposition, particularly for families anchored to the North London Collegiate School catchment.

The semi-furnished delivery and December 2026 handover, with construction already past 80 per cent, reduce the execution risk that shadows earlier-stage off-plan purchases. For a UK or European buyer relocating rather than speculating, that combination of school proximity, manageable density and a near-complete build timeline carries specific practical weight.
