The National reported the scheme at 38 million sq ft, with the first phase due for handover in the fourth quarter of 2029. Sobha designs The Terraces around outdoor activity: homes have direct access to cycle paths, jogging tracks, fitness zones and wellness decks, and a mosque is planned in the cluster. It is the entry point to Sobha's villas in Abu Dhabi. Sobha's floor plans show three-bedroom villas with a majlis in four layouts of 2,578 to 3,453 sq ft over two floors, the larger two adding a maid's room. The four-bedroom villa with a majlis is a three-storey house of 4,194 sq ft with a roof terrace on Sobha's plan; Property Finder lists four-bedroom sizes up to 4,524 sq ft. The majlis, a formal reception room, is a feature aimed at Emirati and Gulf families. On 12 November 2026 Sobha listed villas from AED 5.09 million to AED 8.82 million, subject to availability. Property Finder shows launch prices of AED 4.96 million for three-bedroom and AED 8.07 million for four-bedroom villas, and marks the project as possibly sold out. Sobha's listing is the current reference, but stock may be thin. Property Finder gives the plan as 20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% on handover, with completion in December 2029 and construction recorded from April 2026. Sobha's page does not give a date. On a AED 5.09 million villa the handover payment is about AED 2 million. The Terraces suits an active family that wants a new house with a reception room near Yas Island, where Sobha gives about 13 minutes to Yas Mall and 14 to Zayed International Airport. Weigh the newness of everything: Sobha has no delivered project in Abu Dhabi, Sobha City's facilities are only just under construction, and there is no resale market yet to judge prices against. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 3-bedroom villas | AED 5,090,000 | | 2,578 to 3,453 sq ft | | available | | 4-bedroom villas | Not published | | 4,194 to 4,524 sq ft | | available | Prices are published starting prices from the developer or Property Finder, as each type's note says, checked 12 November 2026. ## Payment plans ### 20/40/40 - Down payment: 20% (On booking) - During construction: 40% - On handover: 40% (Q4 2029 (Property Finder)) Paid before handover: 60%.
