## When will Sobha Orbis be handed over?

Sobha Orbis is due for handover on 31 December 2028, in Q4 2028, according to Property Finder's project page. Sobha launched sales in June 2024. Construction had reached only 9.63% complete by the first quarter of 2026, an early stage for a tower cluster that had already been selling for around a year and a half.

## What is the Sobha Orbis payment plan?

Property Finder lists 20% at booking, 60% during construction across 6 instalments, and 20% at handover. A second published option spreads 80% of the price over construction instead of the fixed 60/20 split.

The example below uses the lowest listed price, AED 985,000, plus the 4% Dubai Land Department registration fee, paid separately at booking.

| Stage | Share | Example amount (AED) |
|---|---|---|
| Booking (20%) | 20% | 197,000 |
| DLD registration fee (4%, on top, at booking) | 4% | 39,400 |
| During construction (6 instalments) | 60% | 591,000 |
| At handover | 20% | 197,000 |

This is a worked example for the lowest listed price only. Confirm your own unit's price and instalment dates in the sale and purchase agreement.

## What do homes at Sobha Orbis cost?

Property Finder lists units from about AED 985,000, as of September 2026.

| Home type | Size | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 1 bedroom | 538 to 580 sq ft | From AED 985,000 (listed, Sep 2026) |
| 2 bedroom | 984 to 988 sq ft | Not published separately |

## What to check before booking

1. **The exact building and tower name**, since sources do not agree on whether Orbis has six or seven buildings.
2. **The DLD project status** for your specific building, through the Dubai Land Department's project status enquiry service.
3. **How the 4% DLD fee is billed** alongside the 20/60/20 instalments, since Sobha's public materials do not spell this out.
4. **The handover date and grace period** written into your sale and purchase agreement, not just the Q4 2028 target quoted by portals.
