From AED 4.06 million with 10% on booking, and completion listed for August 2029. Facts last verified 13 November 2026 against the sources listed at the end. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Developer | [Sobha Realty](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/sobha-realty) | | Location | [Sobha Sanctuary](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/sobha-sanctuary) (The Willows), Dubai | | Status | under construction | | Developer's handover target | Q3 2029 | | Sales launched | 2026-02 | | Tenure | freehold | | Price | From AED 4,060,000 to AED 4,160,000 (published figure, 12 November 2026) | | Average price per sq ft | AED 1,651 | | Home types | 4-bedroom villas | | Golden Visa value test | Some homes are priced at or above AED 2,000,000 | ## Overview The Willows is a four-bedroom villa cluster in [Sobha Sanctuary](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/sobha-sanctuary), the master community [Sobha Realty](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/sobha-realty) is building in Al Yufrah, off Al Ain Road. Property Finder records bookings opening in June 2026, a few months after construction began on the neighbouring villa clusters. Sobha surrounds it with wellness-oriented facilities: forest jogging and cycling loops, a yoga and Pilates pavilion, outdoor calisthenics, botanical gardens and nature-based play areas, plus a neighbourhood mosque, a clubhouse and a pet zone. Only one house type is sold here. Sobha publishes four two-storey four-bedroom layouts of 2,459 to 3,430 sq ft, the larger ones adding a maid's room and an upstairs living area. These are the same plans Sobha shows for The Greens and The Brooks. On 12 November 2026 Sobha's listing priced The Willows at AED 4.06 million to AED 4.16 million for villas of 2,459 to 2,521 sq ft, which corresponds to the two smaller layouts. Property Finder still shows the AED 3.99 million launch figure. The Willows has a lower deposit than its neighbours: Property Finder lists 10% on booking, 50% during construction and 40% on handover, against 20% down at The Greens and The Brooks. Completion is listed for August 2029, with construction recorded as starting in June 2026. Sobha's page gives no date. This suits a family that wants a four-bedroom house with a garden from about AED 4 million, and that values outdoor exercise space and a nearby mosque. Taking the listing range at face value, the price works out at about AED 1,650 per sq ft, a useful figure to compare against resale houses in established communities. Weigh the timing and the setting. Handover is almost three years away, the community has no completed homes, and its schools, mall and central park are still to be built. The handover payment is about AED 1.6 million. Sobha gives about 30 minutes to Downtown Dubai by car, and there is no metro. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 4-bedroom villas | AED 4,060,000 | AED 4,160,000 | 2,459 to 3,430 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 ### 10/50/40 - Down payment: 10% (On booking) - During construction: 50% - On handover: 40% (Q3 2029 (Property Finder)) Paid before handover: 60%.
