About Sondos Sage
Sondos Sage is a residential building in DubaiLand Residence Complex, Wadi Al Safa 5, Dubailand, Dubai, developed by Al Sondos Holding through its subsidiary Al Sondos Real Estate. Construction began in January 2016 and the building was completed by June 2016. It consists of approximately 109 units in total: one ground-floor retail unit plus 29 studio apartments, 49 one-bedroom apartments and 30 two-bedroom apartments. The built-up area is approximately 167,565 sq ft.
Sondos Sage is one of several sister buildings within DubaiLand Residence Complex developed by Al Sondos Holding and named after flowers, including Sondos Rosa, Sondos Lily, Sondos Orchid and Al Sondos Lilac. Each is a separate, physically distinct building with its own unit count, floor area and completion date, not part of Sondos Sage itself. Al Sondos Holding also develops several other, unrelated properties elsewhere in Dubai under similar naming, including Al Sondos Tower on Sheikh Zayed Road, Marina Mansions in Dubai Marina and Al Sondos Oasis in Dubai Silicon Oasis, none of which are part of this DubaiLand complex.
The building's own developer lists it as 2 basement levels plus ground floor plus 7 residential floors plus a rooftop level ("2B + G + 7 + HC"), described elsewhere on the same source as "a nine-storey residential building," consistent with an independent property portal also describing Sondos Sage as a nine-storey building. A third independent source states 8 floors (counting ground plus 7 residential floors without the separate rooftop level), a counting-convention difference rather than a genuine conflict; this guide uses the majority nine-storey figure. Unit-count sources differ slightly: the developer's own site lists 29 studio, 49 one-bedroom and 30 two-bedroom apartments plus 1 retail unit (109 total, 108 residential), an independent portal states exactly 108 units matching the residential-only total, while a third independent source states 117 units; this guide uses the developer's own itemised breakdown, cross-confirmed by the exact 108-unit match. According to the Land Department, the project was valued at approximately AED 66,100,000 at the pre-construction estimate stage submitted by the developer.

Property Finder has no active listing or price-insight page for this specific building, Dubizzle's listing pages are not accessible, and other project-page portals have no page for Sondos Sage.
Dubai Land Department transaction records published for Sondos Sage under the government's Open Data directive (via Propsearch.ae) are recorded only at whole-building level. The most recent, dated 17 Feb 2025, is a Grant (gift transfer) of AED 41,240,042 for 23,699 sq ft, not a Sale; earlier visible records include a Grant of AED 12,863,892 (01 Sep 2023), a Mortgage Registration of AED 38,684,100 (24 Jan 2023), a Grant of AED 16,500,000 (19 Dec 2017), a Grant of AED 9,900,000 (18 Oct 2017), and several Mortgage Modification filings of AED 75,000,000 each (09 May 2022, 20 Mar 2019, 21 Dec 2017, 18 Oct 2017 and 19 Dec 2016). None of the transaction records visible for this building are a genuine arms-length Sale; these are bulk building-level gift transfers and mortgage filings against the whole structure, not per-apartment sale prices, and are not used here as individual unit pricing.
Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Income Potential
DubaiLand Residence Complex is not currently one of Royale Stays' five core managed areas (Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR and Business Bay), so this guide does not claim a Royale Stays management track record at Sondos Sage specifically. Al Sondos Holding is a private local developer rather than a restricted hotel brand, so there is no confirmed policy barrier to running a licensed holiday home in the building.
Every short-term rental in Dubai requires a DTCM holiday home permit. Royale Stays can arrange the permit application and manage the day-to-day operation, including for owners based overseas, for a fee starting from 15%, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications. See Royale Stays' Dubai holiday home permit guide for the current permit process.
