Sobha Realty
Upper-mid to luxury, build quality led. Part of the Sobha Group, founded by PNC Menon. Chairman since 2024 is Ravi PNC Menon.
My view
Sobha builds its own product end to end, and you can usually see it in the finish. The pressure point now is scale: a record handover year in 2026 is the real test of whether the model holds at this volume. I like the product; I watch the delivery dates.
What I check hardest: Construction progress against the payment plan, given how many projects are delivering at once.

What I check before any Sobha Realty purchase
- The payment plan. What each instalment is tied to, and what happens if a milestone slips.
- The escrow account. That your payments go into the project's regulated escrow account.
- The record. Past handovers on time, build quality and how snagging was handled.
- The numbers. Price per square foot against comparable projects, service charges and likely rent.
- Your exit. Resale rules, any developer approval needed, and fees on the way out. See the fees guide.
