About
Sobha Realty is an international luxury developer committed to redefining the art of living through sustainable communities. Established in 1976 as an interior decoration firm in Oman by PNC Menon, a visionary entrepreneur, the company has grown its presence with developments and investments in the UAE, Oman, Bahrain, Brunei and India. To date, Sobha has delivered over 120 million square feet of projects that embody their commitment to innovation, sustainability and creating exceptional living experiences.
Recognizing the immense potential of the UAE’s booming real estate market, especially in Dubai, Sobha made a strategic move to expand there in 2013. The city’s rapid growth provided the ideal launchpad for showcasing Sobha’s signature craftsmanship and expertise. Today, the firm has developed into one of the most prominent and premium real estate developers in the UAE, all while staying true to its core philosophy: the ‘Art of the Detail’.
With a proven track record of delivering projects ahead of schedule, the company has thirteen masterplans across the UAE and is continually expanding its presence in the city with several other prominent projects. Sobha Hartland, the flagship community of Sobha Realty, is a vibrant neighbourhood that the residents proudly call home.
At Sobha Realty, every home is a testament to an unwavering commitment to excellence, shaped by three core principles: craftsmanship, thoughtful design and signature quality. Craftsmanship is woven into every detail, from the choice of materials and finishes to the precision of fittings and window dimensions. Thoughtful design is another defining characteristic of Sobha Realty’s work. Every home is a carefully planned living space, rigorously inspected to ensure both beauty and function.
What truly distinguishes Sobha Realty is its signature quality and approach to development, with its Backward Integration Model setting it apart from others in the industry. This means Sobha Realty controls every step of the homebuilding journey in-house, from designing and constructing homes to producing building materials and landscaping. By doing everything under one roof, the company ensures consistent quality, reduces delays and delivers a seamless experience to homebuyers. This level of control and attention to detail has even earned Sobha Realty recognition as a Harvard Business School case study, highlighting its innovative and industry-leading approach.
