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 | | 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 Elysian is one of the apartment buildings 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 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. ## 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%.
