Hartland Heights Sobha Hartland Dubai

Hartland Heights is a two-tower apartment project attributed to Sobha Properties Ltd inside Sobha Hartland, Mohammed Bin Rashid City, about 3 km from Burj Khalifa. The description on record is Tower A of 55 floors and Tower B of 65 floors, with one- and two-bedroom apartments of 593 to 1,400 sq ft from AED 1,100,000 (about Rs 2.83 crore), and views over Downtown, Burj Khalifa and the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary.

This page has to be blunter than most. Hartland Heights is thinly documented. Two sources describe it — an agency project page and a broker site — and they disagree even on the unit mix (one to two bedrooms on the first, one to four on the second). The commissioning date on record is Q2 2025, which has passed, and no source we checked confirms completion. Sobha's own Hartland construction updates and the community's building lists name other projects — Waves comfort, Sobha Creek Vistas Heights, The Highbury, Aryana Hotel — not this one. Below is what the record says, with the gaps marked, because the useful thing here is knowing what to verify before you pay anything.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

One starting price exists on the record: AED 1,100,000, quoted as about USD 300,000 — roughly AED 1,855 per sq ft against the 593 sq ft floor of the size range. Read it against the community, because the comparison is the story:

The quoted AED 1.1 M start sits below the cheapest live one-bedroom ask in the whole community (AED 1,150,000) and at half its average one-bedroom ask of AED 2,182,364. That is the shape of a launch-era price. Either the figure is old or it belongs to a small unit long gone — treat it as a historical marker and ask for a dated price list.

No source publishes the price by unit type, the number of apartments, the floor plans or the service charge — four blanks on a project described as a 55-storey and a 65-storey tower, which is why the verification list below matters more than the arithmetic.

Payment plan and total cost

No payment plan is on the record for this project. Sobha's Dubai plans are written as two numbers — a booking share, instalments through construction, a balance at handover — but a plan quoted for another Sobha project is not this one's, and this page will not invent one. What can be stated is the cost on top of any Dubai purchase, worked on the AED 1.1 M figure:

If the project is still selling off-plan, your instalments go into a DLD-approved escrow account and your interest is registered through Oqood until the title deed issues. Ask for the escrow bank's name and the Oqood registration before any money moves — on a project this thinly documented, those two items are your whole protection.

Location and connectivity

Sobha Hartland is 8 million sq ft of Mohammed Bin Rashid City, between Al Ain Road (E66) and Ras Al Khor Road (E44), about 3 km from Burj Khalifa: roughly 12 minutes to Downtown Dubai and 18 minutes to Dubai International Airport. Two international schools are inside the community — North London Collegiate School and Hartland International School — and the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary forms its northern edge, which is what the tower's marketed sanctuary views refer to.

The community is green, part-built and still filling in: Sobha keeps developing here and in Sobha Hartland 2, and has announced a AED 210 million mall for Hartland. There is no metro station inside it, so this is a car address with quick highway access in two directions. For the delivered apartments in the same community, see Sobha Hartland Greens; for the delivered houses, Hartland Estates Villas. See also all Dubai projects we track and the projects list.

Amenities and specifications

What the record gives: equipped kitchens, living rooms and bedrooms with adjoining bathrooms, and views over Downtown Dubai, Burj Khalifa and the wildlife sanctuary. Two towers of 55 and 65 floors would normally carry podium amenity decks, pools and gyms, but no source we checked publishes an amenity schedule for this project, so nothing more is claimed here.

At community level, Sobha Hartland residents have parks and open spaces, swimming pools, a cricket pitch, tennis courts, a yoga studio, walkways, cafes, restaurants, shops and the two schools. Sobha does its own joinery, fit-out and facility management in house rather than subcontracting — the one specification point you can reasonably take from the developer's record rather than this project's paperwork.

About the developer

Sobha Realty — the group behind Sobha Properties Ltd — is the master developer of Sobha Hartland. By 2026 it had completed more than 30 Dubai projects across MBR City, Business Bay, Umm Suqeim and other freehold districts, reported AED 30 billion of sales in 2025 (up 30% year on year), and set out its largest programme yet for 2026: 6,819 homes across five projects worth about AED 21.6 billion.

Its Q1 2026 reporting shows how closely it tracks its own build: Sobha Hartland II Villa Series 1 at 89.59% complete, Waves comfort at 88%, both structures finished, and the six Riverside Crescent towers between 26% and 45%. A developer that publishes progress figures is what makes the silence around Hartland Heights notable, rather than a reason to doubt the company.

Sobha builds through backward integration: in-house construction, joinery, interiors and facility management rather than third-party contractors. It is an Indian-founded group and still runs a large housebuilding business in India, which is why Indian buyers know the name — the purchase runs on Dubai's rules, the DLD's registers and the dirham.

For Indian buyers

Sobha Hartland is freehold, so an Indian buyer holds the title deed in their own name, with no local partner and no residency requirement. At AED 1.1 M the entry is about USD 300,000, comfortably inside a single person's LRS allowance of USD 250,000 per financial year when spread across two years, or one year for a couple remitting together.

The AED 1.1 M entry is well below the AED 2 M Golden Visa threshold, so a one-bedroom here does not buy residency. A larger unit at the 1,400 sq ft end might, at the community's prevailing rates, but no price is published for it — if the visa is your reason for buying, get a dated price list first and do the arithmetic on the actual unit.

The UAE charges no annual property tax and a residential sale does not attract VAT; your recurring cost is the service charge, at Hartland's quoted AED 17 to 18 per sq ft — about AED 10,000 to 10,700 a year on a 593 sq ft apartment. An Indian tax resident declares the rent and any gain in India, with treaty relief for anything taxed twice.

On yield: Sobha Hartland apartments average 6% to 7% gross, with studios near 8%, one-bedrooms around 6.5% and larger units 5.5% to 6%. Bayut's average apartment asking rent in the community is AED 138,457. At 6.5% on AED 1.1 M that is about AED 71,500 of rent — plausible for a small one-bedroom here, and worth checking against a live listing rather than a brochure. The entry price itself looks stale, and a yield calculated on a stale price is a fiction.

Pros

• Inside Sobha Hartland, 3 km from Burj Khalifa, two international schools in the community
• The quoted AED 1.1 M entry is the lowest figure on record in the community
• Sizes of 593 to 1,400 sq ft cover a small one-bedroom up to a family two-bedroom
• Sobha's record is strong: 30-plus completed Dubai projects, 6,819 homes due for handover in 2026
• Hartland apartments yield 6% to 7% gross, with one-bedrooms around 6.5%
• Views over Downtown, Burj Khalifa and the wildlife sanctuary from a 55- and a 65-floor tower

Cons

• Only two sources describe it, and they disagree on whether it is 1 to 2 or 1 to 4 bedrooms
• The commissioning date on record, Q2 2025, has passed with no completion confirmed anywhere
• Sobha's own Hartland construction updates name other projects, not this one
• No payment plan, unit count, floor plan, amenity schedule or service charge is published
• The AED 1.1 M start is below the community's cheapest live one-bedroom ask of AED 1,150,000
• The AED 1.1 M entry is far below the AED 2 M Golden Visa threshold
• No metro inside the community, and no source prints the DLD project number

Who this is for

• Buyers already sold on Sobha Hartland who want the cheapest entry and will verify the project first
• Investors targeting the 6.5% gross one-bedroom yield this community supports
• Indian buyers who can fund a USD 300,000 purchase inside one or two LRS allowances

Who should look elsewhere

• Anyone who needs a confirmed handover date — the one on record has passed
• Golden Visa buyers: AED 1.1 M does not reach the AED 2 M threshold
• Buyers who want a payment plan, floor plan and service charge before committing
• Anyone unwilling to check the project on the Dubai REST app before paying a deposit

Our verdict

The community is excellent and the developer's record is among the best in Dubai, but this specific project is the thinnest-documented page in our Hartland set, so the honest advice is procedural rather than financial. The AED 1.1 M start is below the cheapest live one-bedroom ask in the community, the Q2 2025 date has gone by, and Sobha's own progress reporting names other Hartland buildings. Get a dated price list, the DLD project number, the escrow bank and the current construction percentage, and check all four on the Dubai REST app. If they come back clean, this is a cheap way into a community 3 km from Burj Khalifa. If not, the delivered apartments at Hartland Greens do the same job with a title deed already issued.

FAQs

What is the price of Hartland Heights?

One figure is on the record: AED 1,100,000, quoted as about USD 300,000, which is roughly AED 1,855 per sq ft against the 593 sq ft floor of the size range. It sits below the cheapest live one-bedroom ask in Sobha Hartland (AED 1,150,000) and at about half the community's average one-bedroom ask of AED 2,182,364, so treat it as a launch-era figure and ask for a dated price list.

How big are the apartments, and what configurations are there?

Sizes on record are 593 to 1,400 sq ft. The agency page describes one- and two-bedroom apartments; one broker site says one to four. That conflict is unresolved — ask for the unit schedule.

When is the handover?

The date on record is a Q2 2025 commissioning, which has passed. No source we checked confirms completion, and Sobha's own Hartland updates name other projects. Ask Sobha for the sale agreement completion date and the DLD progress figure.

What is the payment plan?

Not published for this project by any source we checked. Do not accept a plan quoted for another Sobha project as this one's. If it is still selling off-plan, your instalments go into a DLD-approved escrow account and your interest is registered through Oqood — ask for the escrow bank and the Oqood registration in writing.

Is it registered with the Dubai Land Department?

It is described as a project inside Sobha Hartland, which is DLD-registered, but none of the sources we checked prints the project number, the escrow bank or a progress figure. Verify it on the Dubai REST app before paying a booking amount, and confirm which tower your unit is in.

What is the service charge?

Not published for this project. Sobha Hartland's quoted community rate is AED 17 to 18 per sq ft a year, which on a 593 sq ft apartment is about AED 10,000 to 10,700. Ask for the building's own budget once it exists.

What rental yield can I expect?

Sobha Hartland apartments average 6% to 7% gross, with studios near 8%, one-bedrooms around 6.5% and larger units 5.5% to 6%. Bayut's average apartment asking rent in the community is AED 138,457. At 6.5% on AED 1.1 M that is about AED 71,500 a year — but a yield calculated on a stale price is not a forecast.

Does it qualify for a Golden Visa, and can an Indian citizen buy?

The AED 1.1 M entry is well below the AED 2 M property threshold for the 10-year Golden Visa, so a one-bedroom here does not deliver one. Sobha Hartland is freehold and open to any nationality with the title deed in your own name. AED 1.1 M is about USD 300,000, which fits inside one LRS allowance of USD 250,000 per person per financial year spread over two years, or a couple's single year. The UAE charges no annual property tax and a residential sale does not attract VAT; an Indian tax resident declares the rent and any gain in India.

Who is Sobha Realty?

The master developer of Sobha Hartland: more than 30 completed Dubai projects by 2026, AED 30 billion of sales reported in 2025, and 6,819 homes across five projects due for handover in 2026 worth about AED 21.6 billion. Its Q1 2026 reporting put Sobha Hartland II Villa Series 1 at 89.59% complete and Waves comfort at 88%. It builds through in-house construction, joinery, interiors and facility-management teams, and it is an Indian-founded group with a large housebuilding business in India too.
