Developer rendering of Sobha Solis in Motor City

Off-plan buyers in Motor City have two Sobha Realty releases to choose between: Sobha Solis, spread across four towers with one to three bedroom apartments, and Sobha Orbis, a larger seven-tower release capped at one and two bedroom layouts. Both keep price and payment plan on request.

Sobha Solis: four towers around a shared podium

Four residential towers share a residents' podium at Sobha Solis in Motor City. Apartments pair large windows and private balconies with views across gardens and the nearby racetrack. The development's active lifestyle concept brings together fitness, sports and social facilities, alongside landscaped areas and an outdoor cinema, with layouts running from one, 1.5, two and three bedroom apartments.

Sobha Orbis: a larger release, but smaller units

A seven-tower residential development in Motor City with one-, one-and-a-half- and two-bedroom apartments, Sobha Orbis combines practical apartment layouts with shared pools, gardens and fitness facilities. Sky gardens, children's spaces and social areas add places to meet and relax. Unlike Sobha Solis, there is no three-bedroom option here, which narrows its appeal mainly to smaller households or investors targeting a compact rental unit.

Why Motor City's racetrack matters to Sobha Solis specifically

Sobha Solis explicitly markets its racetrack-adjacent views, a feature unique to this release among the two, since Sobha Orbis's official description focuses instead on its sky gardens and social spaces without mentioning the track. If a motorsport-adjacent outlook matters to you, that leans the comparison toward Solis rather than Orbis.

Why neither project publishes a price yet

Both fiches confirm detailed amenities and unit mixes but list price and payment plan as on request, a gap that's worth raising directly with your adviser before assuming either project fits a specific budget. Sobha Realty has published figures for other developments in the same area, so a current quote for Solis or Orbis is usually available on request even without a public listing.

What Motor City offers as a wider setting

Motor City takes its name from its motorsport heritage, built around the Dubai Autodrome, and both Sobha Solis and Sobha Orbis sit within that same wider community, alongside retail, schools and other residential developments. For a buyer new to the area, the racetrack and its associated events are part of daily life here in a way that's distinct from most other Dubai districts.

What to ask before reserving at either project

Beyond price, worth confirming with your adviser: how many total units each tower or building actually holds, which specific floors and orientations currently remain available, and whether the social and sports facilities described are already complete or still part of the ongoing construction timeline for each project.

Financing an off-plan unit in Motor City

Bank financing remains possible for certain non-residents, always subject to the lender's approval. No interest rate or specific bank is confirmed for either project.

Why neither project has published pricing yet

Sobha Realty has released detailed pricing for several of its other Dubai developments, which makes the absence of a published figure for Solis and Orbis slightly unusual rather than typical of an early-stage release. Your adviser's experience with the developer suggests current pricing is available on request even without a public listing, so treat "on request" here as a prompt to ask rather than a sign the launch is far off.

Registration during construction

Payments go into an escrow account supervised by the Dubai Land Department, with progress trackable through the DLD's Project Status Enquiry service, and Oqood registration confirmed at contract stage for both releases.

Golden Visa once pricing is confirmed

A property investment of at least AED 2 million opens the door to a Golden Visa application, subject to conditions confirmed by the authorities. Since neither Sobha Solis nor Sobha Orbis has published a price, eligibility depends entirely on the figure your adviser receives once Sobha Realty confirms current pricing.
