Construction Snapshot
The Woods Serenity at Sobha Sanctuary at a Glance
On the Dubai Land Department register, The Woods Serenity at Sobha Sanctuary does not appear under its own name. It is one of the residential buildings of Sobha Realty's The Woods development, and the DLD records that development as a single project, The Woods (number 4485), without separating its buildings, so a register search has to use the name The Woods. Every figure below is consequently a reading for all six towers of that registration together, never for The Woods Serenity alone. What those figures show is a record at its very first entry: one 0% inspection on 21 May 2026, made ahead of both the 17 July 2026 registration and the 30 December 2026 start date the register lists, with completion registered for 30 December 2030 and handover expected by Sobha Realty in Q4 2030.

Inspection Record
The Woods Serenity at Sobha Sanctuary Construction Update Timeline
One dated reading makes up this record so far: 0% at the DLD inspection of 21 May 2026, logged for the six-tower The Woods registration nearly two months before that registration was entered on 17 July 2026. The track below therefore carries a single dot at its starting edge, and the table a single row linking the May 2026 update that covers the visit in full, including the monitoring report's N/A status. Later inspections join as new dots and rows once they are dated on the register.

Pace Analysis
How Fast The Woods Serenity at Sobha Sanctuary Has Been Built
Speed needs two dated readings, and The Woods registration has one. Until a second is recorded, the record for The Woods Serenity is best read as a sequence of four dated register entries:
- 21 May 2026: DLD inspection of The Woods0%, no works recorded
- 17 July 2026: The Woods entered on the DLD registerRegistered, status Active
- 30 December 2026: construction start date listedStill ahead at compilation
- 30 December 2030: registered completion, whole registrationInside Q4 2030
Read in order, those entries put the inspection first, the registration second and the start of works third, which is why this record carries no measured speed. A rate of progress needs two dated readings with works between them, and The Woods registration has a single reading taken before its listed start, so this page prints no rate and no estimate of one. The register's own window, from the 30 December 2026 start date to the 30 December 2030 completion date, spans exactly four years, and the first measured figure can only come from an inspection dated inside it. For an end user planning a move into The Woods Serenity, the dates that matter are the listed start and the Q4 2030 handover; for an investor weighing the entry point, the first reading above 0% after 30 December 2026 is the figure that turns this list of dates into a pace.

The Woods Serenity at Sobha Sanctuary Build Stages, Mapped to the Inspections
Only the first two stages below hold dated entries so far; the other three are pinned to the dates the register lists ahead, so each window shows where The Woods Serenity sits against the timeline of The Woods registration rather than against a generic build sequence.
Baseline Inspection
The DLD recorded 0% for The Woods on 21 May 2026, and the monitoring report for that visit entered N/A, noting no construction activity on site.
Registration and Pre-Construction
The Woods entered the DLD register on 17 July 2026, its trust account held with Dubai Islamic Bank. With the only reading at 0% and the start date still ahead, this is where the record stands.
Listed Start of Works
The register gives 30 December 2026 as the start date for The Woods. Readings dated after it are where works on the six towers would first appear in this record.
Building the Six Towers
Across the four-year registered window, readings will show how much of the six towers of basement, ground, 14 floors and roof in the inspection report is complete, for the registration as a whole.
Completion and Handover
Handover of The Woods Serenity is expected by Sobha Realty in Q4 2030; the completion date registered for The Woods as a whole is 30 December 2030, inside that 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 Serenity at Sobha Sanctuary's own record.

Between 0% and Handover: What The Woods Serenity at Sobha Sanctuary Buyers Should Do Now
With The Woods registration at 0% on 21 May 2026 and its start date listed for 30 December 2026, the coming months at The Woods Serenity are about paperwork and payments rather than progress on site. The first payment on a purchase falls due at reservation, well before any reading above zero, so the three checks below belong before money moves.
First, match the payee on every transfer before handover to the Dubai Islamic Bank trust account held for The Woods registration; the escrow account page for The Woods Serenity sets out how to check it against the DLD record.
Second, settle the residency question early: at their listed prices both apartment types sit under the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property threshold, and The Woods Serenity's Golden Visa page explains what that means before you sign.
Third, keep the dated record in view: the May 2026 baseline report for The Woods Serenity documents the 0% inspection in full, and the first reading after the listed start joins the timeline above once it appears on the register.
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 Serenity at Sobha Sanctuary Construction Updates Frequently Asked Questions
The Woods Serenity at Sobha Sanctuary is at the pre-construction stage: the latest DLD reading for its registration, The Woods (project 4485, status Active), was 0% at the inspection of 21 May 2026, and the register lists a construction start date of 30 December 2026. That reading covers all six towers of the registration together. The dated entries are set out in the inspection timeline above.
One. The 21 May 2026 inspection of The Woods registration, at 0%, is the only reading in the record used for this page, so there is no earlier figure and no point change to report. The monitoring report for that visit gives a Progress Status of N/A and notes no construction activity on site; the visit is written up in the May 2026 construction update for The Woods Serenity.
The Woods Serenity has no pace figure because a rate of progress needs two dated readings, and The Woods registration has one: 0% on 21 May 2026. That inspection also came before the 30 December 2026 start date listed on the register, so there are no works yet to measure. A pace is computed here only once a later dated inspection is recorded, and none is estimated in the meantime; the dates the record does hold are listed under register dates above.
The two agree. Sobha Realty's expected handover for The Woods Serenity is Q4 2030, and the DLD register gives 30 December 2030 as the registered completion of The Woods registration as a whole (project 4485), a date inside that quarter. The registered window runs exactly four years, from the listed start of 30 December 2026 to 30 December 2030, and it is measured against a record that stood at 0% on 21 May 2026.
The Woods development counts 1,264 residences on the DLD record (748 one-bedroom and 516 two-bedroom) under project 4485. That total spans all six towers of the registration; the developer documents used for this page do not state a separate unit count for The Woods Serenity, so no building-level total is given here. The building's 1 and 2 bedroom apartments are described in The Woods Serenity at Sobha Sanctuary project guide.
Progress for The Woods Serenity is tracked through the readings published for project 4485, The Woods, which describe the six towers of that registration together. Each new dated inspection is added to this page with its percentage and date, attributed to the whole registration, and no tower-by-tower figure is estimated or split out. The current entry is 0% at 21 May 2026.
