Property Finder gives completion in December 2028. Facts last verified 13 November 2026 against the sources listed at the end. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Developer | [Sobha Realty](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/sobha-realty) | | Location | [Sobha Hartland II](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/sobha-hartland-2) (Skyscape), Dubai | | Status | under construction | | Developer's handover target | Q4 2028 | | Tenure | freehold | | Price | From AED 1,950,000 (published figure, 12 November 2026) | | Home types | 1-bedroom apartments, 2-bedroom apartments, 3-bedroom apartments | | Floors | 85 | | Golden Visa value test | All published prices are below AED 2,000,000 | ## Overview Skyscape Altius is the tallest of the three Skyscape towers in [Sobha Hartland II](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/sobha-hartland-2), the gated community [Sobha Realty](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/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. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1-bedroom apartments | Not published | | 635 to 905 sq ft | | available | | 2-bedroom apartments | Not published | | 967 to 1,228 sq ft | | available | | 3-bedroom apartments | Not published | | | | available | Prices are published starting prices from the developer or Property Finder, as each type's note says, checked 12 November 2026. ## Payment plans ### 60/40 - Booking deposit and construction instalments: 60% - On handover: 40% (Q4 2028 (Property Finder)) Paid before handover: 60%.
