News DeskDubai, UAE – Sobha Realty, the premium luxury real estate developer, has announced a record-breaking financial performance for the fiscal year 2025, posting total sales of AED 30 billion. The figure represents a robust 30 per cent year-on-year increase, cementing the developer’s position as a dominant force in the Gulf’s real estate sector while marking its pivot into a truly global brand.
The surge in growth was fueled by sustained momentum in the UAE’s luxury property market and a diversified portfolio that now extends beyond Dubai. A significant driver of this performance was the developer’s expansion into Umm Al Quwain (UAQ), which contributed AED 8 billion to the total sales volume through projects in Downtown UAQ | Sobha Realty and Sobha Siniya Island.
Expansion and Development Milestones
In 2025, Sobha Realty expanded its UAE portfolio to 14 developments—12 in Dubai and two in Umm Al Quwain. The year saw the launch of four major masterplans: Sobha Solis, Downtown UAQ, Sobha Central, and Sobha SkyParks.
Beyond the Emirates, the developer made pivotal moves into international markets. Sobha Realty announced its entry into the United States and Australia, supported by regional office openings and strategic land acquisitions in Texas, Queensland, and Sydney.
“This past year has been a defining chapter in Sobha Realty’s journey,” said Ravi Menon, Chairman of Sobha Group. “Our growth across the UAE and expansion into global markets reflect a vision that has remained constant since our inception: to create developments that stand the test of time. These achievements are a testament to the trust our customers place in us and to our unwavering commitment to excellence and craftsmanship.”
Financial Stability and Investor Confidence
The developer’s operational success was underpinned by significant financial achievements. Sobha Realty successfully issued a US$500 million sukuk, which was oversubscribed three-fold. This was followed by the issuance of a US$750 million Green Sukuk—the largest ever by a global real estate developer—which attracted US$2.1 billion in orders.
These financial maneuvers, listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) and NASDAQ Dubai, reinforced investor confidence. Furthermore, Moody’s upgraded the Corporate Family Rating of Sobha’s parent company, PNC Investments LLC, to Ba2/stable, citing strong revenue profiles and a substantial backlog.
Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility
2025 also marked major strides in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria. Sobha One became the first building outside Singapore to receive the Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy certification. The company also achieved a 4-Star Rating and a score of 97 in the 2025 GRESB Real Estate Assessment.
On the corporate front, Sobha Realty introduced a sector-leading maternity policy, offering 120 days of leave, underscoring its commitment to a progressive workplace culture.
The year concluded with high-profile brand partnerships, including continued collaborations with Arsenal FC, the IIFA Awards, and a role as a Global Partner for ICC Men’s events, ensuring the brand’s visibility on the world stage.
