Overview

A Skyscape tower in Sobha Hartland II with one- to three-bedroom flats. Sobha lists one- to 2.5-bedroom units from AED 1.96 million on a 20/40/40 plan, with completion in December 2028.

Skyscape Aura is one of the three Skyscape towers in Sobha Hartland II, Sobha Realty's gated community in Bukadra, Mohammed Bin Rashid City. Sobha's renders show the Skyscape towers joined near the top and set above the community lagoon, and the developer quotes about 10 minutes by car to Downtown Dubai and 12 to the airport.

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.

The published plans include one-bedroom flats of about 745 to 843 sq ft, 1.5-bedroom flats of 812 to 877 sq ft, two-bedroom flats of 940 to 1,252 sq ft, 2.5-bedroom flats of 1,095 to 1,731 sq ft and a three-bedroom of about 1,577 sq ft. The one-bedroom plans here are larger than in most Hartland II towers.

On 12 November 2026 Sobha's listing showed one-, 1.5-, 2- and 2.5-bedroom apartments from AED 1.96 million to AED 5.02 million, for about 817 to 2,035 sq ft, subject to availability. Property Finder shows the tower as available and gives older figures from about AED 1.7 million. It also lists three-bedroom units from about AED 2.04 million, a figure that sits below Sobha's own prices for smaller flats and should be treated with caution.

The plan on Property Finder is 20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% on handover. Property Finder records construction starting in July 2024 and gives expected completion in December 2028; Sobha's page has no date.

Aura suits a buyer who wants a roomier one-bedroom or a 2.5-bedroom flat with a study in the Skyscape group. Its sister towers, Altius and Avenue, complete at the same time with similar layouts, so compare floor, view and price across all three before choosing, and expect competition from them on resale and rent.

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 AuraAED 1,960,000

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 78,400

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 2,039,420about £418K

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.
