From AED 1.09 million 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 1,090,000 to AED 1,600,000 (developer price list, 12 November 2026) | | Average price per sq ft | AED 1,923 | | Home types | 1-bedroom apartments, 2-bedroom apartments | | Golden Visa value test | All published prices are below AED 2,000,000 | ## Overview The Woods Horizon is one of the apartment buildings in The Woods, the apartment cluster at the centre 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. Sobha places it among gardens and connected to the community's network of green corridors. Property Finder records bookings and construction starting in May 2026, which makes Horizon one of the later releases in The Woods. The unit mix is simple. Sobha's floor plans show a single one-bedroom layout of 547 sq ft and three two-bedroom layouts of 864 to 964 sq ft, all with a balcony and a powder room. Sobha's listing card gives a slightly wider range, from 540 sq ft, so check the exact area on the plan for the unit you are offered. On 12 November 2026 Sobha quoted prices from AED 1.09 million up to AED 1.96 million, subject to availability. Property Finder still carries the AED 999,000 launch figure for one-bedroom flats and AED 1.6 million for two-bedroom flats. The developer's figure is the current one; the gap shows how far prices have moved since launch. The plan listed by Property Finder is 20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% on handover, which Property Finder dates to December 2030. Sobha's page gives no completion date. The building suits a first-time buyer or an investor who wants a new, compact flat from a developer with a strong finishing record and is content to wait four years for it. The amenity list is aimed at everyday use rather than show: a pool deck, a nursery, a library, co-working space and outdoor fitness areas. Sobha gives about 8 minutes by car to Dubai Outlet Mall and 30 minutes to Downtown Dubai. What to weigh is the setting. Sobha Sanctuary is an early-stage community on the edge of the city, with its schools, shops and park still to be built, and The Woods will add a large number of similar one- and two-bedroom flats over the same few years. The 40% balance at handover is also substantial, about AED 436,000 on the cheapest one-bedroom at today's price. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1-bedroom apartments | AED 1,090,000 | | 547 sq ft | | available | | 2-bedroom apartments | AED 1,600,000 | | 864 to 964 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 2030 (Property Finder)) Paid before handover: 60%.
