Sobha Skyscape Sobha Hartland 2 Dubai

Skyscape is a trio of towers by Sobha Realty in Sobha Hartland 2, the developer's master community in Mohammed Bin Rashid City: the 85-storey Altius, the 50-storey Avenue and the 45-storey Aura. Together they hold about 1,837 homes of 1 to 3 BHK, including 1.5 and 2.5-bedroom layouts, over the lagoon and the Downtown skyline.

The project now starts at AED 1.9M (about Rs 4.89 crore) for a 762 sq ft 1 BHK, on a 20/40/40 plan, with handover in December 2028. Below: how that compares with the towers' launch prices, the full cost of the entry unit and what it means for a buyer from India.

Price and unit pricing

Unit	Size	Price (AED)	In rupees	Implied rate
1 BHK (now)	From about 762 sq ft	From 1,900,000	About Rs 4.89 crore	About AED 2,493 per sq ft
1 BHK, Altius (launch 2024)	—	From 1,500,000	About Rs 3.86 crore	Earlier release
1 BHK, Aura (average)	From about 743 sq ft	About 1,710,000	About Rs 4.40 crore	About AED 2,301 per sq ft

3 BHK	From about 1,613 sq ft	Not published	—	—
Source listing	—	Not priced	—	—

We print AED 1.9M because it is the latest starting price in the top sources, and the catalogue row has none. It is not the cheapest figure in circulation: Altius opened with 1 BHK units from AED 1.5 million, and Aura's 1 BHK is quoted at an average of AED 1.71M. The rise reflects later releases and higher floors as much as the market.

About AED 2,493 per sq ft on the entry unit is in line with Sobha's other Hartland 2 towers and with new stock near Downtown. Because early buyers paid less, compare Sobha's current price with Altius resales before paying.

Payment plan and total cost

The plan is 20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% on handover in December 2028. That is back-loaded: less is due during the build than on most plans, and a large payment comes at the end.

Worked example: the AED 1.9M 1 BHK on 20/40/40

Stage	Share	AED	Rupees (at 25.75)
Booking	20%	380,000	About Rs 97.8 lakh
During construction	40%	760,000	About Rs 1.96 crore
On handover (Dec 2028)	40%	760,000	About Rs 1.96 crore
DLD transfer fee	4%	76,000	About Rs 19.6 lakh
Oqood registration and admin	Fixed	AED 40 Oqood fee plus the developer's admin and trustee charges, payable at booking	—
Total before service charges		About 1,976,000	About Rs 5.09 crore

The handover payment of AED 760,000 is the figure to plan for, by savings or a UAE mortgage on the finished flat. Altius launched in 2024, so some construction instalments may already be due on a new booking there.

Service charge. Not yet filed. Estimates for Sobha Hartland 2 apartments run AED 16 to 22 per sq ft a year, about AED 12,200 to 16,800 on a 762 sq ft 1 BHK.

Location and connectivity

Sobha Hartland 2 lies in Mohammed Bin Rashid City, across Ras Al Khor Road from the first Sobha Hartland, with the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary and Dubai Creek Harbour nearby. Downtown Dubai and Business Bay are about 12 to 15 minutes by car and DXB 15 to 20. There is no Dubai Metro station in MBR City.

Nearly half of Hartland 2 is parks and open space, built around a lagoon. The first Hartland community next door already has two schools and is fully lived in. Every project we track in the emirate is on all Dubai projects, and the full list is on our projects page.

Distances on record

• The Sobha Hartland 2 lagoon — the view Sobha sells
• Downtown Dubai and Business Bay — about 12 to 15 minutes by car
• Dubai Creek Harbour and Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary — nearby
• Sobha Hartland (the first community) and its two schools — across Ras Al Khor Road
• Meydan — the neighbouring district of MBR City
• Dubai International Airport (DXB) — about 15 to 20 minutes; no Dubai Metro station in MBR City

Amenities and specifications

Each tower has its own amenity deck; Sobha describes Avenue's as deluxe and markets all three on views of the lagoon and Downtown. Altius, at 85 storeys, is one of the tallest residential towers in the area and offers 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3-bedroom homes.

Sobha builds and fits out in-house, which is the main reason buyers pay its prices. The detailed finish schedule, appliance list and parking per unit are not published in the sources checked. Final specification as per the SPA.

About the developer

Sobha Realty is the Dubai arm of the Sobha Group, founded by PNC Menon. It reported AED 30 billion of Dubai sales in 2025, up 30%, and a record 2026 programme of 6,819 homes worth about AED 21.6 billion across Sobha Hartland, Hartland II, Sobha Reserve, Sobha One and Verde.

It builds through backward integration — construction, joinery, interiors and facility management in-house. In the first Hartland its record is delivered: Greens, Quad Homes, Waves and Waves Grande, the last a year early. The 2026 Hartland 2 handovers are the test that matters for Skyscape.

For Indian buyers

Ownership. Sobha Hartland 2 is freehold for foreign buyers, and the DLD issues the title deed in your name. No annual property tax, no UAE tax on rent, no VAT on a residential sale; the government cost is the 4% DLD transfer fee, AED 76,000 on the entry 1 BHK. Remittance. The LRS allows USD 250,000 per person per financial year. AED 1.9M is about USD 517,000. The 20% booking (about USD 103,000) fits one person's year; the 40% handover payment (about USD 207,000) needs planning — a second family allowance or a UAE mortgage. Golden Visa. The threshold is AED 2 million of property. The AED 1.9M 1 BHK is AED 100,000 short; a 2 BHK clears it. Rent, tax and exit. No Skyscape rents exist yet, and we do not estimate a yield. Rent is taxable in India for an Indian tax resident. At exit, Sobha's brand helps, but three towers and the rest of Hartland 2 will be finishing around the same time.

Pros

• Sobha's build quality and in-house construction, in its own master community
• Lagoon and Downtown views; about 12 to 15 minutes to Downtown and Business Bay
• A choice of three towers and unusual 1.5 and 2.5-bedroom layouts
• 2 BHK units clear the Golden Visa threshold
• Early buyers have seen the entry price rise from AED 1.5 M to AED 1.9M

Cons

• The 1 BHK at AED 1.9M is AED 100,000 short of the Golden Visa threshold
• 40% due on handover — AED 760,000 on the entry unit in one payment
• About 1,837 homes across three towers, plus the rest of Hartland 2, finishing close together
• Hartland 2 service charges are estimated at AED 16 to 22 per sq ft a year
• No Metro station in MBR City

Who this is for

• Buyers who rate Sobha's finish and want a tower near Downtown
• Golden Visa buyers choosing a 2 BHK
• End users who want lagoon views and Hartland's schools nearby

Who should look elsewhere

• Buyers who cannot fund a 40% handover payment
• Anyone who needs rent before 2029
• Buyers who want a small, low-density building

Our verdict

Skyscape is Sobha's high-rise answer in Hartland 2: three towers, one of them 85 storeys, looking over the lagoon to Downtown. Sobha's in-house building model and its first Hartland community make it one of Dubai's more reliable names, and its 2026 delivery programme will show whether Hartland 2 follows. The price has moved from AED 1.5 million for an Altius 1 BHK at launch to AED 1.9M now, about AED 2,493 per sq ft, fair for Sobha near Downtown but no longer cheap. The plan is back-loaded — 40% at handover — and the 1 BHK sits just under the Golden Visa line.

A sound choice for a buyer who wants Sobha quality near Downtown and can fund the 40% handover payment, ideally as a 2 BHK for the Golden Visa. Ask Sobha which tower and floor the AED 1.9M unit is in, and compare it with Altius resales from the AED 1.5 million launch. For an Emaar alternative across the Creek, see Valia.
