Construction Snapshot
The Woods Horizon at Sobha Sanctuary at a Glance
The Woods Horizon at Sobha Sanctuary is Sobha Realty's building of 1 and 2 bedroom apartments inside The Woods, the woodland enclave the developer is planning in Sobha Sanctuary, in the Dubailand area off Dubai-Al Ain Road (E66). Its record opens unusually early: the only inspection, on 21 May 2026, came before the registration of 17 July 2026, and the listed construction start of 30 December 2026 was still ahead in November 2026, with registered completion set for 30 December 2030. The Woods Horizon is one of the buildings within The Woods; the Dubai Land Department registers the buildings together under the project name The Woods (project 4485), so the register figures on this page describe the whole registration, not The Woods Horizon alone.

Inspection Record
The Woods Horizon at Sobha Sanctuary Construction Update Timeline
A single inspection makes up this record so far. On 21 May 2026 the register reading for The Woods (all buildings) was 0%, and the monitoring report for that date gave the progress status as N/A, no progress recorded, with no construction activity on site. Two register dates then followed on paper rather than on the ground: registration on 17 July 2026 and a listed construction start of 30 December 2026. The one dot on the track below marks that baseline, and the table row links the May 2026 update holding the full inspection detail.

Pace Analysis
How Fast The Woods Horizon at Sobha Sanctuary Has Been Built
A speed figure needs two dated readings, and The Woods registration has one. What the record does hold is a fixed set of register dates that frame the window construction is expected to fill:
- 21 May 2026: baseline inspection, no construction activity on site0% register reading
- 17 July 2026: The Woods registered with the Dubai Land DepartmentRegistered
- 30 December 2026: construction start listed in the registerStill ahead in November 2026
- 30 December 2030: registered completion for The WoodsInside the Q4 2030 handover quarter
That sequence says more than the single percentage does. The register's own dates leave exactly four years, from 30 December 2026 to 30 December 2030, for the whole registration to move from its May 2026 baseline to delivery, and the Q4 2030 handover for The Woods Horizon sits in the same quarter as that registered completion. Until a second dated reading exists there is no measured rate to report, and this page will not estimate one; the first inspection after the listed start is the one that turns a baseline into a trend. For an end user, the useful fact today is that the handover quarter and the register agree. For an investor, it is that the entire build still lies ahead of the 40% paid before handover, which is why those first post-start readings deserve close attention.

The Woods Horizon at Sobha Sanctuary Build Stages, Mapped to the Inspections
Each stage below is tied to a date the register actually holds for The Woods, which places The Woods Horizon between its July 2026 registration and a listed December 2026 start that has not yet arrived.
Baseline Inspection
The first and only inspection on record gave The Woods registration a 0% reading on 21 May 2026, with no construction activity on site and an N/A progress status in the monitoring report.
Registration and Pre-Start
Registered with the Dubai Land Department on 17 July 2026; as of November 2026 the record holds no reading above the 21 May 2026 baseline of 0%.
Listed Start and First Readings
The register lists 30 December 2026 as the construction start for The Woods; the first inspection after that date will record the first movement, if any, above 0%.
Main Building Works
This stage gains a dated window only when inspections after the listed start record rising percentages for the registration; none exist as of November 2026.
Completion and Handover
Registered completion for The Woods is 30 December 2030, and handover for The Woods Horizon is scheduled for Q4 2030, the same quarter.
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 Horizon at Sobha Sanctuary's own record.

Between 0% and Handover: What The Woods Horizon at Sobha Sanctuary Buyers Should Do Now
With the register reading for The Woods still at its 21 May 2026 baseline and the construction start listed for 30 December 2026, the decisions that count now concern money and paperwork rather than anything visible on site. Under the 40/60 plan, 20% is paid at booking and a further 20% during construction, so the three checks below come before the first transfer, not after the first reading.
First, confirm where your money goes: The Woods Horizon escrow account page shows how to check the Dubai Islamic Bank account registered for project 4485 before any payment leaves.
Second, settle residency expectations early through The Woods Horizon Golden Visa page, which sets both apartment types against the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property threshold.
Third, keep the baseline in view: The Woods Horizon May 2026 baseline report holds the full inspection detail, and the first reading after 30 December 2026 joins the timeline above once it is recorded.
Send me your unit number on WhatsApp and I will tell you what the latest inspection means for your handover and map the sequence for your specific unit.

FAQs
The Woods Horizon at Sobha Sanctuary Construction Updates Frequently Asked Questions
The Woods Horizon at Sobha Sanctuary is at the pre-construction stage: the DLD register reading for The Woods (all buildings, project 4485) was 0% at the inspection recorded on 21 May 2026, the only reading on record, and the register lists a construction start date of 30 December 2026. The project status in the register is Active, and the full record is in the inspection timeline above.
It has not changed, because only one inspection is on record as of November 2026: the register reading for The Woods, the registration that includes The Woods Horizon, was 0% on 21 May 2026, with no earlier or later reading to compare it with, so there is no point change to report. The detail of that inspection is in the May 2026 construction update for The Woods Horizon.
A speed figure for The Woods Horizon needs at least two dated readings, and the register holds one: 0% for The Woods on 21 May 2026. This page measures speed only as the change between two dated inspections divided by the time between them, so no rate is shown until a second dated reading is recorded; no date for the next inspection has been published.
The two agree: handover for The Woods Horizon is scheduled for Q4 2030, and the DLD register lists 30 December 2030 as the registered completion date for The Woods, which falls inside that quarter. The register window runs from the listed start of 30 December 2026 to that completion date, exactly four years, and neither date had arrived when this page was compiled in November 2026.
The DLD record shows 1,264 residences across The Woods, split into 748 one bedroom and 516 two bedroom units, as listed in the register in November 2026. These totals cover every building in the registration; the register does not publish a separate unit count for The Woods Horizon, and the apartment types offered in the building are set out in The Woods Horizon at Sobha Sanctuary project guide.
Four dates make up the record for The Woods, the registration that includes The Woods Horizon: the inspection of 21 May 2026 at 0%, registration on 17 July 2026, a listed construction start of 30 December 2026 and registered completion on 30 December 2030. The May 2026 inspection is the earliest of the four, and the stage record maps each date to its place in the build.
