Sobha Realty is the Dubai arm of the Sobha group, founded by P.N.C. Menon.

The Dubai business is privately held.
Sobha Realty's flagship is Sobha Hartland in Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum City, launched in 2014: an estate of about 8 million sq ft with roughly 30% reserved for green and open space.
