Overview

An 85-storey tower in the Skyscape group of Sobha Hartland II, with one- to three-bedroom flats from AED 1.95 million and two payment plans. Property Finder gives completion in December 2028.

Skyscape Altius is the tallest of the three Skyscape towers in Sobha Hartland II, the gated community Sobha Realty is building in Bukadra, Mohammed Bin Rashid City. Sobha describes an 85-storey tower looking over the community lagoon towards Downtown Dubai, which its drive times put about 10 minutes away by car.

Sobha gives the size of Sobha Hartland II as 8 million sq ft. Every building in it is a Sobha project, from the Riverside Crescent, Skyscape and Skyvue tower groups to the Sobha Estates villas, and the lagoons, parks and pools are shared across the community. For a buyer that means one developer's specification and one management regime. It also means the value of each tower depends on the rest of the community being finished to the same standard.

Sobha's published plans show one-bedroom flats of about 635 to 789 sq ft, 1.5-bedroom flats with a study of 825 to 905 sq ft, two-bedroom flats of 967 to 1,152 sq ft and 2.5-bedroom flats of 1,103 to 1,228 sq ft. The listing also includes three-bedroom apartments, the largest at about 2,337 sq ft, but no three-bedroom plan is published on the page.

On 12 November 2026 Sobha's listing showed one- to three-bedroom apartments from AED 1.95 million to AED 6.06 million, for about 846 to 2,337 sq ft, subject to availability. Property Finder shows stock available, with earlier prices from about AED 1.7 million for a one-bedroom. It also lists four-bedroom units from AED 7.4 million, which do not appear on Sobha's listing. Sobha's figures are used here.

Property Finder lists two plans. One is 60% during construction, deposit included, and 40% on handover. The other is 20% on booking, four instalments of 10% at 12, 24, 30 and 36 months from booking, and 40% on completion. Property Finder records construction starting in July 2024 and gives expected completion in December 2028; Sobha's page has no date.

Altius suits buyers who want height and lagoon-facing views in a single-developer community, and who are comfortable with a large final payment. Unlike many neighbouring towers it is still shown as available on Property Finder, which gives more choice of floor and layout, but the same feature means a lot of similar units are on offer.

Buying costs

Government fees are paid on top of the purchase price. This is the position for the entry-level home; costs scale with price. In Dubai the registration authority is the DLD.

Purchase priceEntry price at Skyscape AltiusAED 1,950,000

DLD transfer fee (4%)Paid to the Dubai Land Department on registration. The department lists it as 2% from each party, but contracts almost always pass the full 4% to the buyer, so a developer's '50% DLD waiver' means the developer is paying its own listed half. Off-plan, it is paid when the sale is registered in the Oqood system.AED 78,000

Oqood registration admin feeOqood portal fee of AED 1,000 plus knowledge and innovation fees, for registering the off-plan sale contract.AED 1,020

Estimated total to completeAED 2,029,020about £416K

Developers may add their own administration charge on off-plan sales. It is set by the developer, not the land department, so it is not included in this estimate: ask for it in writing before you reserve. Adjust the assumptions in the buying cost calculator.
