Sobha Realty Expands into U.S. and Australia with Four New Sites

Dubai-based Sobha Realty has expanded into the United States and Australia, securing four sites for its first residential developments across the two markets.

The developer is planning single-family home communities in Celina and Frisco in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, while sites have also been acquired in Brisbane and on Australia’s Gold Coast.

The US expansion will initially focus on residential communities designed for families and move-up buyers, with Sobha preparing to establish its presence in the country’s growing housing markets.

Sales for the developer’s first US project in Celina are expected to begin in 2027, marking Sobha Realty’s entry into the American residential property market.

In Australia, Sobha is targeting Southeast Queensland, including Brisbane and the Gold Coast, where population growth and housing demand are supporting new residential development.

Construction on the Australian projects is expected to begin in mid-2027, subject to the completion of required approvals and development processes.

Sobha Realty is also working with local builders, architects and consultants in both countries as it develops its international residential platform and adapts its projects to local market requirements.

The international expansion comes as Sobha Realty seeks to broaden its geographical footprint beyond the UAE and establish a portfolio across major global residential markets.

The developer is also evaluating additional opportunities in the US, including markets such as Austin, Houston, Nashville, Phoenix and Florida, alongside potential expansion into Sydney.

The move adds to Sobha Realty’s growing international strategy and reflects its focus on entering markets where it can develop large-scale residential communities while building a long-term presence.
