From AED 999,000 on a 20/40/40 plan, with completion listed for December 2030. 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 Woods), Dubai | | Status | under construction | | Developer's handover target | Q4 2030 | | Sales launched | 2026-05 | | Tenure | freehold | | Price | From AED 999,000 to AED 1,600,000 (Property Finder listing, 13 November 2026) | | Home types | 1-bedroom apartments, 2-bedroom apartments | | Buildings | 1 | | Golden Visa value test | All published prices are below AED 2,000,000 | ## Overview The Woods Altura is a single apartment building in The Woods, the apartment cluster of [Sobha Sanctuary](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/sobha-sanctuary), the master community [Sobha Realty](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/sobha-realty) launched off Al Ain Road in 2026. Property Finder describes it as the final building in the first phase of the community's apartments, records bookings opening on 1 May 2026 and lists it among Sobha's projects with developer stock. The offer is one- and two-bedroom flats. Property Finder gives launch prices from AED 999,000 for a one-bedroom and about AED 1.6 million for a two-bedroom, but has not yet published floor plans or sizes for this building. Sobha's plans for the sister buildings in The Woods show one-bedroom flats of roughly 540 to 650 sq ft and two-bedroom flats of roughly 830 to 1,130 sq ft. Treat that as a guide only and check the plan of the unit you are offered. Property Finder lists the plan as 20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% on handover, with completion in December 2030. We found no page for The Woods Altura on Sobha's own website on 12 November 2026, so confirm the building name, prices and completion date with Sobha in writing before reserving. Altura suits a buyer who wants a new Sobha flat for about AED 1 million and values outdoor space over city-centre convenience. The facilities listed are practical and outdoor-led: lap and leisure pools, a gym, an outdoor calisthenics area, jogging and cycling trails, a splash pad and a clubhouse. What to weigh is competition and timing. The Woods adds several towers of similar flats over 2029 and 2030, so resale and rental demand will be shared. The community is new, its schools, shops and central park are still to be built, there is no metro, and about AED 400,000 falls due at handover on the cheapest one-bedroom at the launch price. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1-bedroom apartments | AED 999,000 | | | | available | | 2-bedroom apartments | AED 1,600,000 | | | | available | Prices are published starting prices from the developer or Property Finder, as each type's note says, checked 13 November 2026. ## Payment plans ### 20/40/40 - Down payment: 20% (On booking) - During construction: 40% - On handover: 40% (Q4 2030 (Property Finder)) Paid before handover: 60%.
