Location and surroundings of Sobha City

Sobha City is a new self-sufficient neighborhood in Abu Dhabi, located near the coast. It is a master plan with a mix of residential, commercial and leisure facilities. The neighborhood is designed around a water party and green areas, allowing you to enjoy a quiet environment. There are hiking and cycling trails, as well as parks and playgrounds for children. The infrastructure is modern, with wide roads and good connections to the rest of the city. Public transport is developing, but by car you are quickly on the main destinations. The district also has its own shopping center, schools and medical facilities, so daily supplies are within reach.

From River Cove Residences you will be by car in about 15 minutes at several well-known attractions. Yas Mall, Abu Dhabiโ€™s largest shopping center, is about a 15-minute drive away. Ferrari World and Disney Abu Dhabi can also be reached in 15 minutes. The Etihad Arena, where concerts and events take place, is also 15 minutes away. Yas Bay Waterfront, with its restaurants and entertainment venues, can be reached in about 20 minutes. Zayed International Airport can be reached in 15 minutes, which is ideal for frequent travelers. This central location makes the project attractive for both residents and investors.

The 60/40 payment plan at River Cove Residences

The payment plan for River Cove Residences is 60/40. This means that you pay 60% of the purchase price during the construction period, spread over different terms. The remaining 40% will be paid at handover in Q4 2029. The deposit on booking is 20% of the purchase price. After that, there are usually deadlines linked to the construction progress, for example when the foundation is completed, the skeleton and the finish. This gives you as a buyer financial flexibility, because you do not have to pay the full amount in one go. The plan is designed to make investment in real estate more accessible. You can also opt for a mortgage with a local bank, provided you meet the conditions.

When purchasing a property in River Cove Residences, you will be guided by a registered real estate agent with a RERA licence. This real estate agent is registered with the Dubai Land Department (a similar agency applies to Abu Dhabi) and has experience with off-plan projects. You donโ€™t have to contact the developer; the real estate agent arranges all communications and paperwork for you. He or she can advise you on the best unit, the payment plan and the legal aspects. The real estate agent also helps in opening an escrow account and checking the contracts. In this way, the buying process is smooth and transparent. You can rely on professional support from the first application until handover.

How does a mortgage work for off-plan property in Dubai?

You use your own funds during construction. You pay the payment plan instalments from your own funds. A mortgage is usually arranged only at handover, for the amount still outstanding at that point. Some banks provide finance earlier, but the UAE Central Bank sets a 50% maximum for off-plan property.

Situation (UAE resident)Maximum mortgage
First home up to AED 5m80%
First home above AED 5m70%
Second home or investment60%
Off-plan, before handover50%

Non-resident? These maximums do not automatically apply. Banks use their own, usually stricter, rules for foreign buyers. If you live abroad, expect to contribute more of your own funds.

Income matters. In principle, your total monthly debt repayments may not exceed 50% of your gross monthly income, and the mortgage may not exceed 7 times your annual income. The maximum term is 25 years.

Borrow more after handover? If the property is worth more than your purchase price at handover, a bank may sometimes provide additional finance based on the valuation through equity release. This requires a separate discussion with an adviser.

An estimate, not advice or an offer. Statutory maximums are no guarantee. Income, debts, age, employer and credit profile determine what a bank will actually lend.
