Projects in The Sanctuary

Where AED 10.4 Million Is the Midpoint: New Projects in The Sanctuary

The Sanctuary is a subdistrict within Nad Al Sheba, and its current offering is limited to two villa projects. That concentration shapes the buying experience here directly: there is no broad inventory to compare across, just two separate products from two separate developers. Both are entirely villas, which means buyers looking for apartments or mixed-use buildings will not find them here.

Ellington and Sobha Realty each have one project in The Sanctuary. The median asking price is AED 10.4 million, placing the subdistrict in the premium villa segment within Nad Al Sheba. The range is wide: entry starts at AED 3.99 million and the upper end reaches just over AED 38 million. A gap of that scale across two projects reflects substantially different product offerings rather than variation within a single development. Buyers choosing between the two are choosing between two distinct visions, not selecting a unit type within a shared community.

A 10% Entry Point and a Three-Year Window

Handovers are scheduled between January 2027 and September 2029, giving buyers a window of roughly one to three years depending on which project they select. The minimum down payment is 10%, which sits at the lower end of typical Dubai off-plan requirements. Neither project offers a post-handover payment plan, so the full purchase price clears at or before completion.

The amenities across both projects centre on security, family infrastructure, and fitness: CCTV monitoring, a children's play area, landscaped gardens and parks, a gymnasium, a health club, and a shared pool. That combination points toward a community for owner-occupying families, not investors targeting short-term rental yield.
