Motor City apartments for sale: Sobha Solis vs Sobha Orbis, by layout
In Motor City, Orven's selection holds two Sobha Realty towers: Sobha Solis, with 1, 1.5, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, and Sobha Orbis, with 1, 1.5 and 2 bedrooms only. Neither publishes a starting price yet; this guide sorts the layouts by who they suit.
Motor City apartments for sale in Orven's selection come from two Sobha Realty towers built around the same racetrack-facing community: Sobha Solis, which goes up to a three-bedroom layout, and Sobha Orbis, which stops at two bedrooms. Neither project has a published starting price, so the choice between them today comes down to unit size rather than budget.
Sobha Solis and Sobha Orbis, side by side
| Project | Published unit types | Price / payment plan |
|---|---|---|
| Sobha Solis | 1, 1.5, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments | On request |
| Sobha Orbis | 1, 1.5 and 2 bedroom apartments | On request |
Sobha Solis is four residential towers sharing a residents' podium, with apartments pairing large windows and private balconies with views across gardens and the nearby racetrack; amenities include fitness facilities, sports courts, jogging tracks, co-working spaces and an outdoor cinema. Sobha Orbis is a seven-tower development with one-, 1.5- and two-bedroom apartments, sky gardens, children's spaces and social areas, built around practical layouts rather than the largest possible unit size.
Which typology fits which use
A one-bedroom or 1.5-bedroom in either tower suits a single tenant or a young professional buyer, with the 1.5-bedroom layout adding a study nook without the cost of a full second bedroom. A two-bedroom fits a couple or a small family, and is the largest size Sobha Orbis currently offers. If you specifically need a third bedroom, whether for a growing family or for hosting, Sobha Solis is the only one of the two with that option published; Sobha Orbis does not go beyond two bedrooms.
What each tower actually includes
Sobha Solis leans toward an active lifestyle concept: alongside its fitness facilities and sports courts, the development publishes jogging tracks, co-working spaces, landscaped areas and an outdoor cinema, useful if you work partly from home or want to exercise without leaving the compound. Sobha Orbis takes a slightly different approach across its seven towers, with swimming pools, fitness facilities, landscaped gardens, sky gardens, children's play areas and social spaces published as its shared amenities. Neither list includes a private pool, a gym membership fee or a service charge figure, since none of these has been published; your adviser confirms them alongside the price once a specific unit is on the table.

Motor City as a district
Motor City is built around motorsport facilities and a racetrack view rather than a waterfront or golf-course identity, which tends to draw buyers who want a quieter, family-oriented community with easy access to Dubai's main road network, at a different price positioning than beachfront districts. For more on the neighbourhood itself, see the Motor City district guide, which covers Sobha Solis alongside the wider area. If you are comparing this district against others in the Orven selection, the apartments for sale in Dubai hub sorts every project by unit size across the whole city.
Budget: on request for both towers
Sobha Realty has not released a starting price for either Sobha Solis or Sobha Orbis, so Orven does not estimate one for either tower. Your adviser requests the current price list for the specific building and layout you want directly from Sobha Realty's sales desk, and shares it with you before any reservation. The same applies to the payment plan: neither project has a published schedule yet, so it is confirmed contract by contract once a price is set.
Fees, financing and the Golden Visa threshold
A Dubai Land Department registration fee of 4% applies to a completed sale, split conventionally between seller and buyer, with additional fixed charges confirmed at contract; off-plan units register through Oqood at a fixed fee. Bank financing is possible for some non-resident buyers, subject to the lender's approval. If your eventual purchase reaches AED 2 million or more, it can support a Golden Visa application, subject to conditions confirmed with the relevant authorities.
