Dubai, United Arab Emirates – October 3, 2025: Sobha Realty has announced robust initial sales at its flagship Downtown UAQ | Sobha Realty master development, reinforcing growing investor confidence in Umm Al Quwain as the UAE’s next coastal growth hub.

Within just one week of launch, the developer confirmed that more than 50% of units in the first three residential towers were sold, setting a new benchmark for sales velocity in the northern emirates.

25 Million Sq. Ft. Masterplan

Envisioned as the Coastal Skyline of the Future, the 25-million-square-foot master development is located along Umm Al Quwain’s natural waterfront. The mixed-use project integrates premium residences, commercial hubs, hospitality offerings, and lifestyle amenities, with more than half of the land dedicated to open and green spaces to balance modern living with environmental stewardship.

The master plan also spans 11 kilometers of pristine waterfront and features more than 7 kilometers of uninterrupted natural beach, two marinas, landscaped boulevards, and future-ready mobility solutions such as water taxis. Complementing these features will be the UAQ Trade Centre, premium office space, and leisure attractions, positioning the community as a new mixed-use coastal destination.

Sobha Aquamont Residential Cluster

The first residential cluster, Sobha Aquamont, was unveiled earlier this year and includes three towers offering one-, two-, and three-bedroom waterfront apartments. Designed to maximize natural light and sweeping coastal views, the towers embody Sobha Realty’s signature focus on luxury, craftsmanship, and sustainability.

“Umm Al Quwain is emerging as a highly attractive destination for residents and investors seeking world-class coastal living in a natural environment,” said Francis Alfred, Managing Director of Sobha Realty. “The strong sales response at Downtown UAQ reflects both the confidence in Sobha Realty’s vision and the growing appeal of Umm Al Quwain as a market poised for long-term growth.”

Expanding Sobha Realty’s Portfolio

Adding to Sobha Realty’s expanding UAE portfolio of luxury communities, Downtown UAQ | Sobha Realty underscores the developer’s reputation for engineering excellence and sustainable urban design. The project also reflects the rising momentum of mixed-use coastal developments across the UAE, which are increasingly attracting both domestic and international investors.

By setting a new sales benchmark in its opening week, Downtown UAQ | Sobha Realty has established itself as one of the region’s most ambitious and promising waterfront destinations.
