Sobha sets new industry standard with enhanced maternity leave
Sobha Realty, a leading luxury global real estate developer, has announced a significant enhancement to its maternity leave policy, reinforcing its commitment to employee well-being and workplace excellence. In a bold and people-first move, the company now offers 120 days of maternity leave to its female employees. Throughout this period, all other employment benefits will be fully retained. This progressive policy far exceeds the UAE Labour Law requirement of 60 days and marks a benchmark in the private real estate sector, the developer said. As of today (May 27), Sobha Realty stands out as the first developer in the UAE to provide such a comprehensive and inclusive maternity leave framework- one that supports the needs of working mothers while fostering a more equitable and compassionate workplace, it said. The announcement comes on the heels of Sobha Realty receiving the prestigious Great Place to Work certification consecutively for two years in a row, a recognition that highlights its dedication to cultivating a people-centric culture built on trust, care, and empowerment. The enhanced maternity leave reflects the company's ongoing efforts to not just meet expectations, but to exceed them in ways that are meaningful to its employees. 'At Sobha Realty, we have always believed that true excellence begins with our people,' said Ravi Menon, Chairman, Sobha Group. 'This new maternity policy is a statement of our values. It is our continued effort towards employees and to stand beside them during life's most important moments as a family. This is yet another initiative that embodies the core of who we are- driven by compassion, grounded in commitment, and focused on continuous improvement.'; added Menon. – TradeArabia News Service

Sobha Realty $500m sukuk oversubscribed by 3 times
Sobha Realty, a leading global luxury real estate developer, on Tuesday announced the successful issuance of $500 million sukuk under its recently established $1.5 billion Sukuk Issuance Program. This latest sukuk will be listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) and NASDAQ Dubai. For this $500 million 2029 maturity sukuk issuance, the order book was oversubscribed three times to reach $1.54 billion. Initial Price Thoughts (IPTs) were set at 8.375%. However, strong interest from regional and international investors led to a notable price tightening of 37.5 basis points, bringing the effective yield to 8% p.a. Of the total issuance, 61% has been allocated to local and 39% to international investors, respectively, reaffirming investors' confidence in Sobha Realty's growth and Dubai's real estate sector outlook, said Sobha Realty. Ravi Menon, Chairman of Sobha Group, said: 'The successful completion of Sobha Realty's USD500 million sukuk issuance underscores the continued confidence of the investor community in our financial stability and strategic direction. Our strategy, underpinned by our Backward Integration model, continues to yield strong financial results, including a substantially healthy revenue backlog, increased topline, and EBITDA generation. This reinforces our long-term commitment to growth and value creation.' Maturing in 2029, the new sukuk issuance follows the recent upgrade of PNC Investments (PNCI), the parent company of Sobha Realty, by Moody's rating. In April 2025, Moody's upgraded PNCI's rating to Ba2/Stable from Ba3/Stable. In line with the improved existing rating, the newly issued sukuk are expected to achieve Ba2/stable rating by Moody's and BB/stable rating by S&P. Sobha Realty appointed Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank, Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, Arqaam Capital, Dubai Islamic Bank, Emirates NBD Capital, J.P. Morgan, Mashreq, RAKBANK, Sharjah Islamic Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, and Warba Bank as Joint Lead Managers and Joint Bookrunners. Having supported Sobha Realty's previous issuances, these institutions bring the proven expertise necessary to ensure continued success.
