About Crest Grande
Crest Grande is a freehold apartment development by Sobha Realty in the Waterfront District of Sobha Hartland, part of Mohammed Bin Rashid City. The project is built across three towers, Tower A, Tower B and Tower C, rising over 40 storeys and holding 985 apartments in total, with layouts ranging from one to four bedrooms and sizes running from around 729 to 2,343 square feet. Sobha Realty received the project's Building Completion Certificate in March 2026, with handovers to owners now underway.
Crest Grande is a separate development from The Crest, Sobha Hartland's earlier four-tower complex (Towers A through D) covered elsewhere on this site. Both are Sobha Realty projects in Sobha Hartland, and both happen to use A, B and C tower lettering, which makes the two names easy to mix up, but they are distinct buildings with their own unit counts, floor plans and completion timelines.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Crest Grande sits in Sobha Hartland's Waterfront District, within Mohammed Bin Rashid City, with views over Meydan Racecourse, Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary and the wider Sobha Hartland community. The location keeps residents close to Ras Al Khor Road and the rest of MBR City's road network, with easy onward access to Downtown Dubai and Business Bay.
Crest Grande joins Royale Stays' wider Sobha Hartland Building Guide cluster, alongside The Crest, Creek Vistas Grande and Sobha Hartland Greens Building 6, other Sobha Hartland developments Royale Stays covers.
Unit Types
Apartments span one, two, three and four-bedroom layouts, from around 729 square feet for the smallest one-bedroom to 2,343 square feet for the largest four-bedroom units. Every unit comes with built-in bedroom wardrobes and fully fitted kitchens, and entry pricing for the smallest layouts starts from roughly AED 1.3 to 1.5 million.
Amenities
Residents have access to indoor and outdoor gymnasiums, a sauna, separate adult and kids' swimming pools, a kids' play area, a barbecue zone, and on-site retail and restaurant space, plus covered parking. Sobha Hartland's community-wide Caribbean-style lagoon, a shared masterplan amenity rather than something exclusive to this one tower, is also within reach of the development.
Transportation & Access
Crest Grande is positioned within Sobha Hartland's road network with direct access to Ras Al Khor Road, one of the main arterial routes linking MBR City to Downtown Dubai, Business Bay and the rest of the city. Owners splitting their time between the property and elsewhere in Dubai have straightforward road access without needing to cross the creek or canal crossings that slow down some other waterfront communities.
Rental & Price Trends
Crest Grande is a newly completed, individually-owned freehold development, with sale listings already active across the major Dubai property portals following its March 2026 completion certificate. As a brand-new handover, it does not yet have an established resale or long-term rental track record the way older Sobha Hartland buildings do, which typically builds up over the months following handover. This is a standard freehold residential development, not a hotel-branded property, so the normal owner-direct DTCM holiday-home permit process applies once an owner takes possession.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Sobha Hartland is not yet one of Royale Stays' active service areas (current areas: Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR and Business Bay), so no Royale Stays-published AED income figure exists for this specific building or area. No invented occupancy or income figure is used here.
Owners considering short-term rental in Crest Grande should know that Sobha Realty is not subject to any confirmed short-term-rental prohibition, so the standard DTCM holiday-home permit process is available once the building's freehold ownership is transferred; a management fee starting from 15% applies to Royale Stays' actively serviced areas.
