Overview

One- and two-bedroom apartments in a single building in The Woods, the apartment cluster of Sobha Sanctuary off Al Ain Road. From AED 999,000 on a 20/40/40 plan, with completion listed for December 2030.

The Woods Elysian is one of the apartment buildings in The Woods, the apartment cluster of Sobha Sanctuary, the master community Sobha Realty launched off Al Ain Road in 2026. Property Finder lists it among Sobha's projects with developer stock, as a single building of one- and two-bedroom flats, and records construction starting on 13 August 2026. That makes it one of the newest releases in the cluster.

The published detail is thin. Property Finder gives launch prices from AED 999,000 for a one-bedroom and about AED 1.6 million for a two-bedroom, but no floor plans or sizes for this building yet. The sister buildings in The Woods have one-bedroom flats of roughly 540 to 650 sq ft and two-bedroom flats of roughly 830 to 1,130 sq ft on Sobha's plans, which is a fair guide to what to expect, not a promise of what Elysian will offer. Ask for the plan and the exact area of the unit you are offered.

The plan listed by Property Finder is 20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% on handover, with completion in December 2030. We found no page for The Woods Elysian on Sobha's own website on 12 November 2026, so confirm the building name, the price list and the completion date with Sobha before paying a deposit.

The building suits a first-time buyer or a long-term investor who wants a new, compact Sobha flat at an entry price close to AED 1 million and is content to wait about four years. Shared facilities listed by Property Finder lean towards everyday wellbeing: an indoor pool, a gym, yoga and meditation areas, a nursery and co-working space with a library.

Weigh the supply and the setting. The Woods is made up of several towers of similar one- and two-bedroom flats due between 2029 and 2030, which will compete for tenants and resale buyers. Sobha Sanctuary is a new community on the edge of the city, and its schools, shops and central park are still to be built. The 40% due at handover is about AED 400,000 on the cheapest one-bedroom at the launch price.

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 Woods ElysianAED 999,000

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 39,960

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 1,039,980about £213K

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.

Golden Visa. Homes here are priced below the AED 2 million threshold for the 10-year visa, though properties can be combined to reach it. Check eligibility
