Most towers are complete and occupied.

It covers about 8 million sq ft in Mohammed Bin Rashid City, beside the Dubai Water Canal and across the water from the Downtown skyline, and mixes apartment towers with villas and townhouses. Sobha's community page describes a green belt of about 22 hectares and two schools inside the community, and the developer's 2026 investor material puts the resident population at more than 11,000. Unlike its neighbour [Sobha Hartland II](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/sobha-hartland-2), this is largely a finished place. Property Finder lists the earlier towers, including One Park Avenue, Creek Vistas Reserve, Hartland Waves and Waves Grande, as completed between 2023 and 2024, and the last phases, Waves Opulence, Crest Grande and Creek Vista Heights, as completed between December 2025 and June 2026. In November 2026 Sobha was still selling remaining developer stock in those last three buildings, from about AED 1.22 million for a one-bedroom flat in Creek Vista Heights. The practical appeal is the location. Sobha quotes about 13 minutes to Dubai Mall, 15 to Downtown and Dubai International Airport, and five minutes to the community's schools from Creek Vista Heights. For an investor, a completed community also means real rents and resale prices to check before buying, which is rarely possible with off-plan stock. The main thing to weigh is supply. Sobha planned to hand over 6,819 homes across its Dubai communities in 2026, much of it in Hartland and Hartland II, so landlords and resellers in this part of Dubai face plenty of competition for the next year or two. ## Who it suits - Buyers who want a completed building rather than off-plan - Families wanting schools inside the community - Investors who want to see real rents before buying - Professionals working in Downtown, DIFC or Business Bay ## Highlights - Completed, occupied community of more than 11,000 residents (Sobha) - Two schools and about 22 hectares of green belt inside the community (Sobha) - About 13 minutes to Dubai Mall and 15 to Dubai International Airport (Sobha) - Single developer responsible for the whole community - Remaining developer stock is in buildings completed in 2025 and 2026 ## Considerations - Sobha planned 6,819 Dubai handovers in 2026, many in Hartland and Hartland II, which adds rental and resale competition - Property Finder marks the last Hartland towers as sold out while Sobha's own listing still shows units; confirm what the developer actually has - Developer stock in completed buildings is usually sold on shorter payment terms than off-plan; ask for the current plan - Sobha's drive times are by car; plan on driving for most journeys ## Drive times - Sobha Hartland schools: about 5 minutes - Dubai Mall: about 13 minutes - Downtown Dubai: about 15 minutes - Dubai International Airport: about 15 minutes - Palm Jumeirah: about 27 minutes ## Developments in Sobha Hartland No developments in this area are currently published on the site. ## Nearby areas - [Sobha Hartland II](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/sobha-hartland-2) - [Ras Al Khor](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/ras-al-khor) - [Meydan](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/meydan) - [Al Jaddaf](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/al-jaddaf) - [Dubai Creek Harbour](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-creek-harbour) - [Downtown Dubai](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/downtown-dubai) - [Business Bay](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/business-bay) ## Questions and answers ### Where is Sobha Hartland?
