What does your budget buy here?
Set a figure and we will match it against what is still available in this project.
Off-plan mortgages are arranged at handover, against the completed home.
The service charge starts at handover, not at purchase, and the first year is usually pro-rated from the day you collect the keys. In Dubai the budget behind it is filed with the Mollak system each year, so the rate is reviewed once the building is occupied and can move from the launch figure.
You will get the unit number, floor, size and exact price for each — not the whole building.
About this project
Origami Development
Project general facts
Soma Residences is a low-rise residential development by Origami. The architecture is defined by a sculptural silhouette in sun-bleached stone, sand-toned surfaces and weathered timber, with generous balconies across every residence. Residence formats include one-bedroom apartments, two-bedroom apartments and duplex residences. The project is enrolled to pursue WELL Gold Certification, reflecting a wellbeing-led design approach.
Residents enjoy an extensive amenity programme arranged around a relaxed, wellness-led lifestyle. The development includes a 20-metre resort-style infinity pool, a children's pool, a sunken lounge with fire pit, and a clubhouse with lounge, terrace and a café and co-working space. Wellness facilities include a Technogym-equipped fitness centre, a yoga and movement studio with an outdoor terrace, a treatment room, and dedicated sauna and steam rooms. The rooftop houses a residents' lounge and a padel court at the building's highest point.
Interiors are designed by XBD Collective, drawing from contemporary European living. Layouts feature three-metre ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glazing, acoustic glazing and expansive balconies that frame the horizon as part of everyday life. The material palette combines oak tones, tactile stone and porcelain finishes with integrated joinery throughout. Kitchens are fitted with porcelain surfaces, warm timber cabinetry and integrated Bosch appliances; bathrooms feature fittings by Geberit, Grohe and Zucchetti.

Good to know
Straight answers from the developer's published terms, checked 8 Oct 2026.
What is the payment plan for Soma Residences?
+
Payment Plan Option 1: 20% on booking, 30% during construction and 50% on handover. 3 payment plans are offered in total.
How much is the booking amount for Soma Residences?
+
20% of the purchase price falls due on booking — from AED 334,000 on the lowest-priced home. A bank or a broker may call the same figure the reservation deposit or the down payment; it is one and the same first instalment, and it is paid to the developer rather than to us.
When does Soma Residences hand over?
+
Handover is scheduled for Q4 2028.
What do homes in Soma Residences cost?
+
Homes currently available start from AED 1,670,000 and range up to AED 4,420,000 for 1 – 3 bed homes. These are the prices of the homes released for sale through our live feed today, not the launch prices — earlier and cheaper releases may have sold out.
How much does each bedroom size cost at Soma Residences?
+
Published starting prices by layout are 1 bed from AED 1,670,000; 2 bed from AED 2,470,000; 3 bed from AED 2,850,000. Those are the entry price for each size — floor, view and the exact layout move the figure, and the current price list carries the price of every remaining unit.
Is there a price list for Soma Residences?
+
Yes. Ask for it on this page and the developer’s own price list is emailed to you — unit number, floor, exact size, price and price per square foot for every home still available. 5 homes were unsold at the last check on 8 Oct 2026.
Who is the developer of Soma Residences?
+
Soma Residences is developed by Origami Development in Dubai Islands · Dubai · United Arab Emirates.
What is the service charge at Soma Residences?
+
The published service charge at Soma Residences is 18 AED/sqft, billed once a year. On the smallest published layout, 878 sqft, that is roughly AED 15,804 a year. It starts at handover and the first year is usually pro-rated from the day you collect the keys. In Dubai the annual budget behind the charge is filed with the Mollak system, so the figure is reviewed each year once the building is occupied. Checked 8 Oct 2026.
Is my money protected when buying off-plan at Soma Residences?
+
In the UAE an off-plan instalment is paid into the project’s escrow account rather than to the developer directly, and is released against construction progress the regulator has verified. No escrow account number has been published to us for Soma Residences, which is not the same as there being none — an advisor can confirm the account with Origami Development before you pay anything.
