Sobha City is the latest 38 million sq. ft. master-planned waterfront project by Sobha Realty that is being built at Al Bahiya on the Yas Canal corridor. The project will present a large-scale, low-density residential concept that will be consistent with the long-term urban expansion plan of Abu Dhabi. Residential options within Sobha City include River Cove Residences, The Terraces, and The Orchard. It incorporates apartments, townhouses, and villas into a single master plan with the backing of retail, leisure, and civic infrastructure.
The development is indicative of the growing need to have integrated communities due to the rising population and infrastructure investment in Abu Dhabi. Its closeness to the Yas Island and major highways boosts its accessibility and residential attraction. Phase 1 spans an area of about 8 million sq. ft., which means that there will be a staged delivery strategy in accordance with market absorption patterns.
The balance between the environment, walkability, and long-term livability is the priority of the project since 60% of the area belongs to open spaces and landscaping. It is an organized growth of Sobha Realty into the high-end waterfront residential in Abu Dhabi.

The Sobha City masterplan is designed on the principles of low-density zoning, integrated mobility, and green infrastructure. The landscaped parks, open spaces, and ecological corridors occupy approximately 60% of the total land area. This design minimizes the urban heat effects and improves the walking ability of the site throughout the development.
The connected 20 km long wellness loop will connect residential clusters with retail and recreational areas and promote active movement and socializing. The main lifestyle axis of the project is the 2 km waterfront promenade and marina that provide direct water access and open public engagement spaces. The residential clusters are spread out to create the greatest privacy, ventilation, and natural light.
The master plan further has six controlled entry and exit points to control the distribution of traffic efficiently through phases. There are special walking and cycling paths that are not connected to the roads to enhance safety. Its design promotes a fully independent ecosystem in which residential, retail, educational, and healthcare elements are functioning in the same spatial framework.
