Sobha places it on the canal that leads out to the sea, close to the footbridge into the main Marina Residences, and is currently selling Tower A. The apartments are sold fully furnished. Sobha publishes nine layouts. Four one-bedroom types run from 510 to 662 sq ft; the larger ones swap the balcony for a terrace or a garden-level yard of about 150 sq ft. The four two-bedroom types range from 652 to 1,022 sq ft, and there is a single three-bedroom layout of 2,174 sq ft, of which 874 sq ft is terrace. Note that the smallest two-bedroom is barely larger than the biggest one-bedroom, so compare plans rather than bedroom counts. On 12 November 2026 Sobha's website listed Canalside from AED 1.36 million up to AED 6.39 million, subject to availability. Property Finder, which shows stock as available, lists one-bedroom apartments from AED 1,337,604, two-bedroom from AED 1,697,641 and the three-bedroom from AED 6,194,636. Property Finder's one-bedroom figure is slightly below Sobha's current price; we use the developer's. The payment plan on Property Finder is 20% on booking, then four instalments of 10% at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months from booking, and 40% on handover. That front-loads the construction payments into the first two years. Property Finder records construction from August 2025 and completion at the end of December 2029. Sobha's page does not give a date. Canalside suits a buyer who wants a furnished apartment that can be let from completion, at one of the lower entry prices on the island. The amenities Sobha lists include facilities in the island master plan, such as the golf course, yacht club and mall, which are not yet built. Sobha gives 10 minutes to Al Marjan Island, 30 to Sharjah and 50 to Dubai.
