About this project

Sobha

Project general facts

River Cove Residences at Sobha City is defined by contemporary waterfront architecture that emphasizes openness, natural light, and seamless integration with its surroundings. The development features two residential towers positioned along a promenade, offering uninterrupted views of canals, landscaped greens, and the wider cityscape. The project offers a selection of thoughtfully designed 1 and 2-bedroom apartments, each planned to maximize space efficiency, privacy, and functionality for different lifestyles. Floor-to-ceiling glazing and well-proportioned balconies extend living areas outward, creating a strong connection between indoor comfort and outdoor serenity. The masterplan is structured around water, greenery, and walkability, ensuring a harmonious balance between urban living and nature.

The project offers a comprehensive range of lifestyle amenities designed to support everyday living rather than occasional use. Residents benefit from landscaped promenades, shaded walkways, and waterfront seating areas, as well as community-focused spaces such as multipurpose lawns, amphitheatres, and social decks. Active living is encouraged through jogging and cycling tracks, open-air gyms, sports courts, and wellness zones, including meditation and tai chi areas. Family-friendly features like children’s play areas, parks, and community lounges are seamlessly integrated, creating a vibrant yet balanced environment for all age groups.

Apartments are designed with a focus on efficiency, comfort, and long-term livability. Interiors feature well-proportioned layouts with open-plan living and dining areas, modern kitchens, and functional utility spaces. Large windows maximize natural light, while private balconies enhance the sense of space and connection to the outdoors. High-quality finishes and fittings are carefully selected to reflect contemporary aesthetics, ensuring a refined yet practical living environment that supports both daily routines and relaxed lifestyles.

What do homes in River Cove Residences at Sobha City cost?

+

Homes currently available start from AED 4,534,835 and range up to AED 8,743,276 for 3 – 4 bed homes. These are the prices of the homes released for sale through our live feed today, not the launch prices — earlier and cheaper releases may have sold out.

+

Published starting prices by layout are 2 bed from AED 3,942,900; 3 bed from AED 4,533,220; 4 bed from AED 8,742,178. Those are the entry price for each size — floor, view and the exact layout move the figure, and the current price list carries the price of every remaining unit.

Yes. Ask for it on this page and the developer’s own price list is emailed to you — unit number, floor, exact size, price and price per square foot for every home still available. 12 homes were unsold at the last check on 8 Oct 2026.

Who is the developer of River Cove Residences at Sobha City?

What is the service charge at River Cove Residences at Sobha City?

+

It starts at handover and the first year is usually pro-rated from the day you collect the keys. Checked 8 Oct 2026.

Is my money protected when buying off-plan at River Cove Residences at Sobha City?

+

In the UAE an off-plan instalment is paid into the project’s escrow account rather than to the developer directly, and is released against construction progress the regulator has verified. No escrow account number has been published to us for River Cove Residences at Sobha City, which is not the same as there being none — an advisor can confirm the account with Sobha before you pay anything.

Does buying in River Cove Residences at Sobha City qualify for a UAE Golden Visa?

+

With homes currently available from AED 4,534,835, homes here meet the AED 2,000,000 property investment threshold for the 10-year Golden Visa. Since February 2026, off-plan and mortgaged purchases can qualify on a certified valuation — our advisors can confirm eligibility for a specific unit.
