Overview

A new phase of Sobha One near Ras Al Khor Road with one- to four-bedroom apartments from AED 1.83 million, on a 10/50/40 plan with completion listed for December 2029.

The Element is the newest residential phase of Sobha One, the five-tower development by Sobha Realty near Ras Al Khor Road. It went on sale in May 2025 and sits on the same site as the original Sobha One towers and the Golf Ridges villaments, between Sobha Hartland and the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary. We list it under Ras Al Khor. Sobha markets it on views across the wildlife sanctuary, the city skyline and the development's pitch and putt course.

The floor plans on Sobha's page show one-bedroom apartments of 729 to 753 sq ft, two-bedroom apartments of 1,185 to 1,284 sq ft, three-bedroom apartments of 1,854 to 1,959 sq ft and a four-bedroom layout of 2,445 sq ft. Every plan includes a powder room, and the three- and four-bedroom homes add a maid's room. Sobha's listing quotes sizes up to 3,781.6 sq ft, which suggests larger top-floor homes that are not among the published plans.

On 12 November 2026 Sobha's listing priced The Element from AED 1.83 million to AED 9.59 million. Property Finder, which shows stock available, gives starting prices of about AED 1.82 million for one bedroom, AED 3 million for two, AED 4.73 million for three and AED 6.42 million for four. At the entry price a one-bedroom works out at roughly AED 2,500 per sq ft.

Property Finder lists the payment plan as 10% on booking, 50% during construction and 40% on handover, with completion expected on 31 December 2029. Sobha's page gives no date, so take the completion date from the sale agreement.

The Element suits buyers who want a new apartment a short drive from Downtown Dubai and the airport, with a later completion and a lower deposit than the original Sobha One towers. Sobha gives about 12 minutes to Dubai International Airport and Business Bay and 15 to Downtown Dubai. What to weigh: the original Sobha One towers and much of Sobha Hartland II complete before The Element, so there will already be a large stock of comparable Sobha apartments to rent or resell when it is finished.

Buying costs

Government fees are paid on top of the purchase price. This is the position for the entry-level home; costs scale with price. In Dubai the registration authority is the DLD.

Purchase priceEntry 1-bedroom apartment at The Element at Sobha OneAED 1,830,000

DLD transfer fee (4%)Paid to the Dubai Land Department on registration. The department lists it as 2% from each party, but contracts almost always pass the full 4% to the buyer, so a developer's '50% DLD waiver' means the developer is paying its own listed half. Off-plan, it is paid when the sale is registered in the Oqood system.AED 73,200

Oqood registration admin feeOqood portal fee of AED 1,000 plus knowledge and innovation fees, for registering the off-plan sale contract.AED 1,020

Estimated total to completeAED 1,904,220about £390K

Developers may add their own administration charge on off-plan sales. It is set by the developer, not the land department, so it is not included in this estimate: ask for it in writing before you reserve. Adjust the assumptions in the buying cost calculator.
