About Skyscape Aura
Skyscape Aura is one of three towers in Sobha Realty's own "Skyscape" collection within Sobha Hartland II, alongside Skyscape Altius and Skyscape Avenue. Per propsearch.ae's direct citation of the developer's own brochure copy, Skyscape Aura is explicitly marketed as "the sequel to Skyscape Avenue." The tower rises with a ground level plus 39 residential floors of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments (one source further breaks these into 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3-bedroom sub-types), with unit sizes ranging from roughly 744 to 2,036 square feet across the sources that publish floor-plan data.
Construction is under way: propsearch.ae states the project's "first trace" milestone was reached in June 2024, with construction itself starting in 2025. Most dated sources place handover around the end of 2028: two independent portals (newnordichomes.com and wedubai.com) both cite a specific date of December 31, 2028, and a third (datahabibi.ae) states in its own body copy that completion is "anticipated by the fourth quarter of 2028," though that same source's own page header and its own citation of a Dubai Land Department project record states Q4 2029 instead, a direct internal inconsistency disclosed here rather than silently resolved. As of 2026, no unit at Skyscape Aura has been handed over to owners, and this guide is written accordingly: it does not present any current income, occupancy or resident figure for the building, because none exists yet.
The tower's exact storey count varies by source: propsearch.ae states "44 storeys," while newnordichomes.com and datahabibi.ae both describe it as a "45-story" tower. Three independent sources (avais-realestate.com, newnordichomes.com, wedubai.com) do agree the tower has a ground level plus 39 residential floors, which this guide treats as the most consistently corroborated core figure, stating the total storey count as an approximate range rather than a single hard number. Total unit count is also genuinely unconfirmed: one source (avais-realestate.com) headlines "453 units" but its own detailed unit-type breakdown (129 + 102 + 49 + 159 + 144) sums to 583, an internal inconsistency on that source's own page, and a second source (datahabibi.ae) states 492 units instead. Neither figure is independently corroborated, so no total unit count is asserted on-page. Separately, "Aura" is not a unique name in Dubai real estate: AURA Skypool is an unrelated rooftop infinity-pool attraction at The Palm Tower on Palm Jumeirah, and Aura Elegance is an unrelated residential project in Dubai Silicon Oasis by a different developer (Aura Infinite Real Estate Development). Neither has any connection to Sobha Realty's Skyscape Aura in Sobha Hartland II.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Skyscape Aura sits within Sobha Hartland II (Sobha Hartland 2), in the Bu Kadra area of Mohammed Bin Rashid City (MBR City), close to Nad Al Sheba and Ras Al Khor Road. Per propsearch.ae's own direct-fetched commute data, by car it is roughly 14 minutes to Dubai Mall, 23 minutes to Burj Al Arab, 25 minutes to Palm Jumeirah and 29 minutes to The Walk, JBR; Dubai International Airport (DXB) is roughly 17 minutes away and Al Maktoum International Airport roughly 40 minutes away. Other sources give noticeably shorter estimates (5 to 15 minutes to Downtown Dubai and Dubai Mall), which this guide treats as more optimistic marketing-style figures rather than the primary drive-time reference.
Skyscape Aura forms part of Royale Stays' Sobha Hartland II community guide, which covers the wider masterplan's named clusters, including the Skyscape collection, in more detail. Within the same Sobha Hartland II masterplan, Royale Stays also covers two towers in the neighbouring Riverside Crescent cluster: 330 Riverside Crescent and 360 Riverside Crescent. Skyscape Altius and Skyscape Avenue, the other two towers in Skyscape Aura's own cluster, are also now covered by Royale Stays.
Unit Types
Skyscape Aura offers one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. Cross-referenced floor-plan data from multiple sources gives roughly: 1-bedroom units from 744 to 1,143 square feet, 2-bedroom units from 939 to 2,035 square feet, and 3-bedroom units from 1,591 to 2,008 square feet. One source (avais-realestate.com) further splits the mix into 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3-bedroom sub-types, with its own narrower size figures for each (1BR 745.3 sq ft, 1.5BR 811.82 sq ft, 2BR 1,094.79 sq ft, 2.5BR 1,730.51 sq ft) sitting within the broader ranges above.
Amenities
Per propsearch.ae's own quick-facts amenity list, Skyscape Aura will include a badminton court, a basketball half-court, indoor and outdoor gyms, jogging trails, a lagoon pool, a padel tennis court, sky gardens, a squash court, a swimming pool and a volleyball court. A second source (avais-realestate.com) corroborates the same pool, gym, sports-court and landscaped-garden theme and adds further detail: zen gardens, a clubhouse, an infinity pool, a leisure pool, a toddler pool, an indoor movie theatre, an open amphitheatre and a dedicated kids and toddlers zone. Waterfront access is a recurring theme across sources: two independent portals (newnordichomes.com and wedubai.com) both describe private lagoon-beach access as part of the development.
Transportation & Access
Skyscape Aura is positioned close to Ras Al Khor Road and Al Ain-Dubai Road, per datahabibi.ae, giving direct road access toward both Downtown Dubai and the wider Dubai-Al Ain corridor. As noted above, propsearch.ae's own direct-fetched drive-time data places Dubai International Airport (DXB) roughly 17 minutes away by car and Al Maktoum International Airport roughly 40 minutes away; the development is also close to the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary.
Rental & Price Trends
Reported starting prices vary by source and unit type rather than pointing to one settled figure. datahabibi.ae cites a launch price around AED 1,740,000, broadly in line with avais-realestate.com's own per-type starting prices (1BR from AED 1.7 million, 1.5BR from AED 1.9 million, 2BR from AED 2.2 million, 3BR from AED 3.9 million). newnordichomes.com gives a wider overall range of roughly AED 1.9 million to AED 4.9 million across the full unit mix, and wedubai.com lists an available-unit range of AED 1,828,755 to AED 7,211,607. One source (avais-realestate.com) also displays a single headline figure of roughly $7,002,724 (equivalent to well over AED 25 million), which is far outside every other figure found for a similarly sized unit and is treated here as a likely data-entry anomaly on that source rather than a genuine starting price. datahabibi.ae also states the project's payment plan as 20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% on handover.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Skyscape Aura has not yet been handed over, so there is no delivered inventory, no resident base and no rental or Airbnb track record to report for this specific building today. This guide does not invent an occupancy rate, nightly rate or annual-income figure for a tower that has not welcomed its first owner yet.
Mohammed Bin Rashid City, including Sobha Hartland II, is not currently one of Royale Stays' established apartment service areas (Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai and JBR are); this guide does not claim an existing managed listing or earnings track record in this specific building or community. Owners who plan ahead of handover can still prepare: Dubai holiday-home rentals operate under a DTCM permit, and Royale Stays' holiday home permit guide explains the process. For a broader view of how Royale Stays manages short-term rentals across Dubai, from a fee starting from 15%, see the Airbnb property management in Dubai guide.
