Construction Snapshot
The Woods Abode at Sobha Sanctuary at a Glance
The Woods Abode is one of the residential buildings of Sobha Realty's The Woods development in Sobha Sanctuary, a building of 1 and 2 bedroom apartments. The Dubai Land Department does not register those buildings one by one: it lists the whole development under the single project name The Woods, project 4485, so anyone checking the register searches for The Woods rather than The Woods Abode, and every register figure below covers the full six-tower registration, not this building alone. That registration counts 1,264 residences, and its record so far holds one dated reading, 0% on 21 May 2026, logged almost two months before the project was registered on 17 July 2026.

Inspection Record
The Woods Abode at Sobha Sanctuary Construction Update Timeline
The record for The Woods registration holds a single inspection: 21 May 2026, logged at 0% on the DLD register, with the inspection report of that date giving a Progress Status of N/A and noting no construction activity on site. That reading is the one dot on the track below, sitting at the starting line seven months ahead of the listed 30 December 2026 start date, and the table row links the May 2026 update that covers it. Each later inspection joins this record as it is published.

Pace Analysis
How Fast The Woods Abode at Sobha Sanctuary Has Been Built
With one reading on record there is nothing yet to measure a construction rate against. What the register does fix is the window The Woods registration is working to, in four dated entries:
- 21 May 2026: first DLD inspection of The Woods registration0%, no earlier reading
- 17 July 2026: registered with the DLD as The Woods, project 4485Registered
- 30 December 2026: construction start date listed on the registerListed start
- 30 December 2030: registered completion date for the whole registrationInside Q4 2030
Those dates are printed in the order the register holds them: the 0% inspection of 21 May 2026 came first, registration followed on 17 July 2026, and the listed start date falls after both. The register gives no reason for that sequence and none is assumed here. Between the listed start and the registered completion, The Woods registration has a four-year window, and Sobha Realty's Q4 2030 handover for The Woods Abode lands in the same quarter as that completion date, so the developer's date and the register's date agree. A measured rate needs two dated readings with work recorded between them; until an inspection logs progress above the May 2026 baseline, any per-month figure would be invented, which is why this section reports the register's own dates instead.

The Woods Abode at Sobha Sanctuary Build Stages, Mapped to the Inspections
Only the first stage below carries a reading; the rest are bounded by the dates the register already gives for The Woods registration, from the 30 December 2026 listed start to the 30 December 2030 registered completion, so you can see how much of the record is still ahead.
Baseline Inspection Recorded
The first DLD inspection of The Woods registration logged 0%, and the inspection report of the same date noted no construction activity on site.
Registered, Awaiting the Listed Start

The inspection report describes six towers of basement, ground, 14 floors and roof; this stage appears here only once a later inspection records it.
Facades, Fit-Out and Courtyards
The developer's site plan shows courtyard pools and a central landscaped boulevard between the buildings of The Woods, planned and subject to final design.
Completion and Handover
Sobha Realty's handover for The Woods Abode is Q4 2030, the same quarter as the registered completion date of the whole The Woods registration.
What each construction stage involves in general is covered once in the guides on the Dubai Construction Updates hub, so this page stays focused on The Woods Abode at Sobha Sanctuary's own record.

Between 0% and Handover: What The Woods Abode at Sobha Sanctuary Buyers Should Do Now
With 30 December 2026 listed as the start date and no construction recorded at the 21 May 2026 inspection, the decisions that matter at The Woods Abode happen at booking, when the 20% due on booking is paid before any work appears on the register. Bookings are taken ahead of the first reading above the baseline, so the three checks below come before the transfer, not after it.
First, confirm where your money goes: The Woods Abode escrow account page shows how to match the Dubai Islamic Bank account registered to The Woods, project 4485, before the transfer.
Second, settle the residency question before pricing it into the purchase: The Woods Abode Golden Visa guide explains why neither the 1 bedroom nor the 2 bedroom apartments reach the AED 2M property threshold at the listed prices.
Third, follow the record rather than the calendar: your SPA sets when the 20% construction-stage payment falls due, and the May 2026 construction update for The Woods Abode is the baseline every later reading on this page will be measured from.

FAQs
The Woods Abode at Sobha Sanctuary Construction Updates Frequently Asked Questions
The Woods Abode is at the pre-construction stage: the only reading on the DLD register is 0%, dated 21 May 2026, for project 4485, which covers the whole The Woods registration, and the register lists 30 December 2026 as the construction start date. The full record is in the inspection timeline above.
It cannot be compared yet: the 0% recorded on 21 May 2026 is the first reading on the register for The Woods, so there is no earlier figure and no point change to state. The inspection report of the same date gives a Progress Status of N/A, and the May 2026 construction update covers that inspection in full.
They agree: Sobha Realty's handover for The Woods Abode is Q4 2030, and the registered completion date for the whole The Woods registration, project 4485, is 30 December 2030, inside that quarter. Both are future dates measured against a 0% reading of 21 May 2026, and this page's record is updated as each later inspection is recorded.
The DLD record counts 1,264 residences across the whole The Woods development: 748 one-bedroom and 516 two-bedroom. That figure belongs to the full registration, which the inspection report describes as six towers; The Woods Abode is one of those buildings, and the register does not give a separate count for it.
Progress for The Woods Abode is read from the DLD register under project 4485, The Woods, where one percentage is recorded for the whole development rather than for each building. A reading such as the 0% of 21 May 2026 therefore applies to all six towers of the registration at once, and the register dates above use the same registration-wide record.
Four dates sit on the register for The Woods registration: the 0% inspection of 21 May 2026, registration on 17 July 2026, a listed construction start date of 30 December 2026 and a registered completion date of 30 December 2030. They are shown exactly as recorded, and the listed start and the registered completion are four years apart.
