Sobha Hartland II Master Plan Decoded

Sobha Hartland II has become one of the busiest construction zones inside Mohammed Bin Rashid City, and buyers scanning listings today are often confused about what belongs where. Here is a clear, current breakdown of the master plan, its four residential zones, and the numbers that matter before you sign a payment plan.

Sobha Realty unveiled Sobha Hartland II as a master-planned mixed-use development spanning eight million square feet, adjacent to the original Sobha Hartland in the Bukadra area of MBR City. The project features a diverse collection of premium apartments and villas ranging from 1 to 6 bedrooms, and it builds directly on the success of the first Hartland, which delivered more than 30 projects between 2017 and 2022. This highly advantageous development features 90 acres of open space and greenery, offering a secure gated community for residents, with two crystal lagoons providing beach access and boardwalk frontage across both apartment and villa precincts.

The master plan resolves into four residential zones plus a lagoon-and-amenity spine threading between them. Riverside Crescent is the flagship apartment zone: a crescent of six high-rise towers — numbered 310, 320, 330, 340, 350 and 360 — arranged along the lagoon edge, offering one- to three-bedroom apartments with direct access to the water, beach and boardwalk below. 360 Riverside Crescent delivers vibrant community living with apartments starting from AED 1.5M, while 350 Riverside Crescent features green-facing apartments starting at AED 1.63M. Because the six towers launched sequentially, they carry staggered handover dates — 350 Riverside Crescent is targeted for Q1 2027, 360 for July 2027, 330 for around Q2 2027, 340 for December 2027 and 310 for April 2028, per project pages tracked across brokerages.

Skyscape and Skyvue form the second apartment cluster pair. The Skyscape series comprises three premium towers — Aura, Altius and Avenue — offering 1 to 3-bedroom apartments with views of the lagoon, Downtown Dubai, and Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary. Skyvue is the newest and most affordable entry point into the community: its towers Solair, Spectra and Stellar offer one-, one-and-a-half- and two-bedroom layouts, with Skyvue Solair priced from about AED 1.28 million and targeted for handover around March 2029, though the developer has yet to confirm that date officially. Skyvue sells the view rather than the waterfront — Downtown, Dubai Creek and the Ras Al Khor sanctuary from high floors at a lower ticket than the lagoon-front towers.

Sobha Estates anchors the ultra-prime end of the master plan — a gated community of five- and six-bedroom villas arranged in three clusters, positioned as Hartland II's answer to District One's lagoon mansions next door. The villas are three-level homes with built-up areas around 8,439 sq ft on plots of roughly 8,288–8,503 sq ft, and pricing reflects that positioning: five-bedroom villas with lagoon access have been marketed from about AED 22.8 million, with lagoon-beachfront stock advertised from around AED 25.7 million. On timeline, Sobha Estates is the earliest-delivering zone of the master plan, with completion targeted from Q4 2026 and handovers expected to run through 2027 — meaning villa buyers could get keys years before the last apartment towers complete.

On pricing benchmarks, payment plans are typically 60/40 structures — 20 percent booking, 40 percent during construction, 40 percent at handover — with 80/20 structures reported on select villa product. DLD transaction data from February 2026 shows real momentum: 1-bedroom units in 320 Riverside Crescent were trading at approximately AED 2,300 per sq ft, a 9 percent increase year-on-year, while Skyscape Avenue units were changing hands at roughly AED 2,400–2,520 per sq ft in the same window — a useful real-transaction reference point in a district where most published numbers are still asking prices rather than closed deals.

For buyers, the practical takeaway is verification. Listings frequently blur Hartland II with the original Sobha Hartland — towers such as Hartland Greens, Hartland Estates, the Waves and the Crest belong to the first phase, not Hartland II. If a listing simply says 'Sobha Hartland' without the 'II', check the building name against the zone roster above before assuming which handover timeline you are actually buying into. With handovers now spread across a 2026–2029 window depending on zone and tower, matching the right building to your budget and risk tolerance has become the single most important step before booking.
