Skyvue Solair Sobha Hartland 2 Dubai

Skyvue Solair is the first of three towers in Sobha Realty's Skyvue cluster at Sobha Hartland 2, its second 8 million sq ft community in Mohammed Bin Rashid City, across Ras Al Khor Road from the original Hartland. It rises 58 floors on a triangular floor plate, so most apartments look two ways — at the lagoon, the Downtown skyline or the Ras Al Khor sanctuary — and holds 1, 1.5, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments of about 533 to 1,128 sq ft, with full floors for larger buyers.

It launched from AED 1,280,000 (about Rs 3.30 crore), about AED 2,400 per sq ft, with the 721 sq ft 1.5 BHK from AED 1,659,726, on a 60/40 plan to a Q1 2029 handover. One broker now lists remaining stock of 944 to 2,289 sq ft from about AED 2.5 million, so check first. Skyvue Spectra and Skyvue Stellar are separate towers with their own price lists.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

The 1.5 BHK is the value plan: at about AED 2,302 per sq ft it is cheaper per foot than the one-bedroom and adds a study, the reverse of the usual Dubai pattern. At launch the tower sat at the low end of Hartland 2's AED 1,800 to 2,800 band; the agency pages' AED 2,600 and the broker's AED 2,650 are where larger and higher plans sit, and Sobha's price list by floor settles what is on offer today.

The honest comparison is across the road: Waves Grande, completed in 2023, averages about AED 2,205 per sq ft on propsearch with a documented rent. Solair at AED 2,400 to 2,650 asks roughly 10% to 20% more per foot for a newer tower, a lagoon view and a 2029 handover — justified at the launch entry, not at AED 2.5 million.

Payment plan and total cost

60/40: 20% on booking, 40% through construction, 40% at handover, nothing after. Worked on the AED 1,280,000 launch entry:

Spread evenly, the construction slice is about AED 17,000 a month over the roughly 30 months to March 2029, though Sobha ties instalments to build milestones, so get the schedule in writing. The 40% at the keys is the large cheque, and a UAE mortgage at handover — about half the price for non-residents — is how many buyers meet it. The payment-plan guide compares 60/40 with 20/80 and post-handover plans.

No service-charge budget has been filed for Solair; community reviews estimate AED 16 to 22 per sq ft a year for Hartland 2 apartments, against AED 17 to 18 in the first Hartland — AED 8,500 to 11,700 a year on 533 sq ft from 2029. Check the Mollak filing before buying, as one investor guide advises.

Location and connectivity

Sobha Hartland 2 is 8 million sq ft on the Bukadra side of MBR City, built around lagoons, with villas and three apartment clusters: Riverside Crescent (six towers), Skyscape and Skyvue (Solair, Spectra, Stellar). Solair faces the lagoon on one side and the Downtown skyline and sanctuary on the others.

Sobha names Downtown Dubai and Business Bay as nearby hubs without a drive time; the first Hartland's agency pages quote 10 to 12 minutes and Hartland 2 sits a little further, so allow 12 to 15 minutes. Dubai International Airport is about 15 to 20 minutes away, and there is no Dubai Metro station inside MBR City, so ask about parking at booking.

Almost everything around Solair is under construction: the other Skyvue towers, the six Riverside Crescent towers — 310 Riverside Crescent hands over from Q4 2027 — and Skyscape. Every Dubai project we track is on all Dubai projects, the wider list on the projects page, and Sobha's other schemes on Sobha Dubai projects.

Amenities and specifications

Quoted for the tower: an infinity pool, a jacuzzi, a children's pool and play zone, a gym, yoga spaces, a party terrace and an open-air cinema outdoors; a multipurpose hall, a library, an executive lounge, an indoor cinema and games rooms inside. Many plans carry balconies, powder rooms and study areas, and the triangular floor plate gives most units a dual aspect.

Not published: the apartment count, appliance brands (Spectra's pages name Bosch and Siemens; Solair's do not), parking, the service-charge budget and the escrow bank. Sobha's own pages carry the renders and floor plans. Final specification as per the sale and purchase agreement.

About the developer

Sobha Realty, the Dubai arm of PNC Menon's Sobha Group, is master developer of both Hartland communities. It reported AED 30 billion of Dubai sales in 2025, up 30%, and set a record 2026 programme of 6,819 homes across five projects — Sobha Hartland, Sobha Hartland II, Sobha Reserve, Sobha One and Verde — worth about AED 21.6 billion.

In the first Hartland the record is delivered: Hartland Greens from 2018 to 2020, Quad Homes from 2018-19, and Waves and Waves Grande in 2023, Grande more than a year early. In-house construction is the argument for a 2029 date holding, but the test is the 2026 programme, the first large wave of Hartland 2 towers — watch it land before treating Q1 2029 as fixed.

For Indian buyers

Ownership. Sobha Hartland 2 is freehold and open to every nationality; the DLD issues the title deed in your own name at handover, with the off-plan interest registered at Oqood meanwhile. There is no annual property tax and no VAT on a residential sale, so the government cost is the 4% DLD transfer fee — AED 51,200 on the entry unit — plus AED 40 at Oqood.

Golden Visa and remittance. The entry one-bedroom is AED 720,000 short of the AED 2 million threshold; a three-bedroom or a plan from the AED 2.5 million stock clears it (see the Golden Visa guide). AED 1.28 million is about USD 349,000 against a Liberalised Remittance Scheme allowance of USD 250,000 per person per financial year, and the 60/40 plan eases it: AED 256,000 (about USD 70,000) at booking, the instalments across two financial years, and the 40% in 2029 from a third year's allowance or a UAE mortgage. A couple covers the whole price in one year.

Yield and exit. Investor guides project 5% to 7% gross for Hartland 2, and early-tower one-bedroom rents of AED 65,000 to 110,000 are 5.1% to 8.6% on AED 1.28 million before service charge. The caution is supply: the other Skyvue towers, six Riverside Crescent towers and Skyscape all hand over within a few years of Solair. An off-plan resale before handover is possible once a share is paid — confirm Sobha's threshold — and carries the 4% DLD fee again; rent and capital gains are taxable in India for an Indian tax resident, with treaty relief for anything taxed twice.

Pros

• About AED 2,400 per sq ft at launch, at the low end of Hartland 2's AED 1,800 to 2,800 band, for a 58-floor lagoon-and-Downtown tower
• The 1.5 BHK at about AED 2,300 per sq ft is cheaper per foot than the one-bedroom, with a study
• A 60/40 plan with about AED 17,000 a month through construction on the entry unit
• Triangular plan gives most units a dual outlook, unusual in a tower of this size
• Sobha publishes its own project pages — renders and plans come from the developer, not a broker

Cons

• Q1 2029 is about 30 months away — construction and price risk, and no rent until 2029
• The AED 1.28 M entry may be sold: one broker's remaining stock starts near AED 2.5 M for larger plans
• The entry price misses the Golden Visa line by AED 720,000
• Service charge not yet filed; Hartland 2's AED 16 to 22 estimate is AED 8,500 to 11,700 a year on 533 sq ft
• No source prints the unit count, the DLD project number, the escrow bank or a construction percentage

Who this is for

• Buyers who want a Sobha Hartland 2 tower at the launch rate and can wait until 2029
• Anyone buying by the square foot — the 1.5 BHK is the value plan
• Indian buyers who want a 30-month instalment run inside two LRS allowances

Who should look elsewhere

• Anyone who needs keys or rent before 2029 — Waves Grande across the road is completed at a similar rate
• Golden Visa buyers on the entry unit — it misses by AED 720,000
• Yield-first investors: every Hartland 2 yield figure is a projection

Our verdict

Skyvue Solair is the tower to buy in Sobha's Skyvue cluster if a launch-price unit is still on the list, and the one to walk away from if it is not. At AED 1.28 million the entry one-bedroom is about AED 2,400 per sq ft, at the low end of Hartland 2's band, and the 1.5 BHK at about AED 2,300 is the better plan per foot. But the broker's remaining stock from AED 2.5 million suggests the small units have gone, and at AED 2,600 per sq ft the case weakens against Waves Grande across the road, completed at AED 2,205.

A reasonable buy at the launch price for an Indian buyer who can wait until 2029 and either does not need the Golden Visa or takes a three-bedroom. Confirm in writing which plans remain at AED 1.28 million and get the completion date into the SPA. If only the AED 2.5 million stock is left, compare it against a completed Waves Grande unit first.

FAQs

What is the price of Skyvue Solair?

The launch price was AED 1,280,000 (about Rs 3.30 crore or USD 349,000) for a one-bedroom of about 533 sq ft, roughly AED 2,400 per sq ft; the 721 sq ft 1.5 BHK starts at AED 1,659,726, about AED 2,300. One broker now lists remaining stock of 944 to 2,289 sq ft from about AED 2.5 million, so ask Sobha which plans remain at launch price.

What is the payment plan?

A 60/40: 20% on booking, 40% through construction and 40% at handover. On AED 1,280,000 that is AED 256,000, AED 512,000 and AED 512,000, plus AED 51,200 of DLD fee and AED 40 at Oqood — about AED 1.33 million all in.

When is the handover?

Q1 2029 — March 2029 on the agency pages — about 30 months away, with no progress percentage printed. Put the completion date in the sale and purchase agreement.

How is Skyvue Solair different from Skyvue Spectra?

Both are in the three-tower Skyvue cluster on 60/40 plans to Q1 2029. Solair is 58 floors with 1 to 3 BHK and a 1.5 BHK from AED 1.28 million; Spectra is 41 floors with 1 to 3 BHK from about AED 1.27 million. Each has its own DLD registration and price list.

Does it qualify for the Golden Visa?

Not at the entry price: AED 1.28 million is AED 720,000 short of the AED 2 million threshold. A three-bedroom or a plan from the AED 2.5 million stock clears it; confirm with the DLD how the threshold is assessed off-plan.

What is the service charge?

Not yet filed. Estimates for Sobha Hartland 2 apartments run AED 16 to 22 per sq ft a year, against AED 17 to 18 in the first Hartland — AED 8,500 to 11,700 on 533 sq ft, first billed in 2029.

What rental yield can I expect?

Nothing rents until 2029, so every figure is a forecast. Guides project 5% to 7% gross for Hartland 2 apartments, and early-tower one-bedroom rents of AED 65,000 to 110,000 a year are 5.1% to 8.6% on AED 1.28 million; net runs about 1.5 to 2 points below gross.

Can an Indian buyer own it, and how is it remitted?

Yes — Sobha Hartland 2 is freehold, so the deed is in your own name at handover with no residency requirement. AED 1.28 million is about USD 349,000 against an LRS allowance of USD 250,000 per person per financial year; the 60/40 plan spreads it over three financial years for one person, and a couple covers it in one. Rent and resale gains are taxable in India for an Indian tax resident.
