Sobha lists one- to 2.5-bedroom units from AED 1.96 million on a 20/40/40 plan, with 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 1,960,000 (published figure, 12 November 2026) | | Home types | 1-bedroom apartments, 2-bedroom apartments, 3-bedroom apartments | | Golden Visa value test | All published prices are below AED 2,000,000 | ## Overview Skyscape Aura is one of the three Skyscape towers in [Sobha Hartland II](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/sobha-hartland-2), [Sobha Realty](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/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. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1-bedroom apartments | Not published | | 745 to 877 sq ft | | available | | 2-bedroom apartments | Not published | | 940 to 1,731 sq ft | | available | | 3-bedroom apartments | Not published | | 1,577 sq ft | | available | Prices are published starting prices from the developer or Property Finder, as each type's note says, checked 12 November 2026. ## Payment plans ### 20/40/40 - Down payment: 20% (On booking) - During construction: 40% - On handover: 40% (Q4 2028 (Property Finder)) Paid before handover: 60%.
