Dubai Land Department open dataAED 2,504/sqft (est.)
The DLD median for villas and townhouses in Mohammed Bin Rashid City is AED 2,782/sqft (as of 26 Sep 2026). This project's figure is our estimate from the starting price and the smallest unit, so it is not compared: the gap appears once the register shows this project's own sales or the developer states a price per sqft.

Where the figures come from, and what escrow means
We do not yet hold a DLD project registration number for The Sanctuary. An escrow account is a regulated account the developer cannot draw on freely: your payments go in and are released as building progresses. Escrow accounts and project registrations are published by the Dubai Land Department (DLD) on dubailand.gov.ae. Always check them, and pay into the escrow account only, before handing over a deposit. How to read the DLD register.

The Sanctuary: questions buyers ask
How much does The Sanctuary cost?
Prices at The Sanctuary start from AED 16,828,828 and reach AED 42,272,828 (about $4.58M) for 4-bedroom, 5-bedroom and 6-bedroom homes. Asking prices come from the developer and change without notice.
What is the price per sqft at The Sanctuary?
The asking price is around AED 2,504 per sqft, our estimate from the starting price and the unit sizes rather than a figure the developer has stated. Per-sqft prices vary by floor, view and finish within one building.
When is the The Sanctuary handover date?
The Sanctuary is expected to hand over in Q1 2027. The project is under construction. Handover dates are the developer's own estimate and off-plan projects can move, so confirm the current date in writing before you pay anything.
What is the The Sanctuary payment plan?
The Sanctuary is offered on a 20/40/40 plan: 20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% at handover. Developers change plans between phases, so confirm yours before signing.
What is the Rendr Score of The Sanctuary?
The Sanctuary scores 65 of 100 on the Rendr Score, good, as of 27 Sep 2026. The score weighs eight factors: the price against what buyers paid in Mohammed Bin Rashid City according to DLD, the developer's record, the payment plan, location, resale, construction progress, how much of the area is still being built and the paperwork on file; 6 of the 8 are assessed here, 85% of the weight. Our opinion, not investment advice; every input is on this page.
Who is the developer of The Sanctuary?
The Sanctuary is being developed by Ellington Properties. It sits in Mohammed Bin Rashid City, Dubai. You can see every project by Ellington Properties we list, and how their asking prices compare with registered sales, on their page.
Can foreigners buy at The Sanctuary?
The Sanctuary is in a freehold area, so buyers of any nationality can own a home here outright rather than on a lease. Dubai sets which zones are freehold; confirm the title type on your own unit's contract before paying.
Is The Sanctuary registered with DLD?
We do not yet hold a project registration number for The Sanctuary. Every off-plan project must be registered and sell through an escrow account, where the money is released as building progresses. Check both at dubailand.gov.ae before you pay.
