About Skyscape Altius
Skyscape Altius is the third and final phase of Sobha Realty's own "Skyscape" collection within Sobha Hartland II, following Skyscape Avenue and Skyscape Aura, per everhomes.ae's own direct description of the project. The tower rises to 85 storeys per four independent sources, including Sobha Realty's own official project page, and offers a mix of 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3-bedroom apartments, with sizes ranging from roughly 634 to 1,227 square feet across the sources that publish floor-plan data.
Construction is under way: propsearch.ae's own milestone log states the project's "first trace" was reached in May 2024, with construction itself starting in 2025. Handover is consistently targeted for Q4/December 2028 across four independent sources (propsearch.ae, everhomes.ae, vision-ary.com, insiderealty.ae) with no internal contradiction disclosed by any of them. As of 2026, no unit at Skyscape Altius 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 "91 storeys" and separately labels it a "Supertall skyscraper," while four other sources (including Sobha Realty's own official project page) consistently state 85 storeys. This guide treats 85 as the primary, developer-corroborated figure and discloses the 91-storey outlier rather than silently dropping it. Total unit count is genuinely unconfirmed: only one source (whitewill.ae) states a total ("744" apartments, alongside a separate "121" figure that reads as a live for-sale listing count rather than a fixed building fact), not corroborated by any other source, so no total unit count is asserted on-page. Starting price is corroborated at roughly AED 1.56 million by three independent sources; one source (whitewill.ae) lists a higher AED 1,940,000 starting figure, most plausibly reflecting a different unit type or listing snapshot, disclosed here rather than treated as the headline number. Separately, "Altius" is not a unique name in the built environment: Altus Towers is an unrelated Emaar development in Dubai Creek Harbour, and Altius Centre is an unrelated 1970s office skyscraper in Calgary, Canada. Neither has any connection to Sobha Realty's Skyscape Altius in Sobha Hartland II.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Skyscape Altius sits within Sobha Hartland II (Sobha Hartland 2), in the Bu Kadra area of Mohammed Bin Rashid City (MBR City), at the intersection of Ras Al Khor Road (E44) and Al Ain-Dubai Road (E66). Per propsearch.ae's own direct-fetched commute data, by car it is roughly 16 minutes to Dubai Mall, 25 minutes to Burj Al Arab, 26 minutes to Palm Jumeirah and 31 minutes to The Walk, JBR; Dubai International Airport (DXB) is roughly 19 minutes away and Al Maktoum International Airport roughly 41 minutes away. Other sources give shorter, marketing-style estimates (10 to 14 minutes to Burj Khalifa), which this guide treats as secondary rather than the primary drive-time reference.
Skyscape Altius forms part of Royale Stays' Sobha Hartland II community guide, which covers the wider masterplan's named clusters in more detail. Within the same masterplan, Royale Stays also covers Skyscape Altius's own series sibling, Skyscape Aura, and a tower in the neighbouring Riverside Crescent cluster, 310 Riverside Crescent. Skyscape Avenue, the first tower in the same three-tower Skyscape series, does not have its own Royale Stays guide yet.
Unit Types
Skyscape Altius offers 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3-bedroom apartments. Cross-referenced floor-plan data gives a corroborated range of roughly 634 to 1,227 square feet across the mix: Sobha Realty's own published floor plans list a 1-bedroom Type A unit at 634.96 sq ft total (566.29 sq ft suite plus 68.67 sq ft balcony) and a Type B unit at 788.56 sq ft total, closely matching insiderealty.ae's own cited 634 to 1,227 sq ft range for the full 1 to 3-bedroom mix. Everhomes.ae's own floor-plan table separately lists a 1.5-bedroom unit at 748 sq ft living area (75 sq ft balcony) and a 2.5-bedroom unit at 1,017 sq ft living area (85 sq ft balcony, 1,102 sq ft total).
Amenities
Three independent sources corroborate a consistent pool, gym, sports-court and landscaped-garden theme. Everhomes.ae cites waterfront patios, a swimming pool and children's playgrounds, plus a fitness center, adult and children's pools, sports courts, BBQ and leisure areas and landscaped gardens. Insiderealty.ae adds zen and sensory gardens, indoor and outdoor gyms, jogging tracks, an infinity pool, a wave pool, an open-air theatre, a music room, a library and dedicated children's play areas. Whitewill.ae's own spec list separately mentions a surf simulator, a jacuzzi, a steam room and sauna, a video game room, concierge service and an infinity-pool terrace with lounge areas. The building also includes a five-level parking structure, per everhomes.ae.
Transportation & Access
Skyscape Altius sits at the intersection of Ras Al Khor Road (E44) and Al Ain-Dubai Road (E66), per everhomes.ae, giving direct road access toward 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 19 minutes away by car and Al Maktoum International Airport roughly 41 minutes away.
Rental & Price Trends
Three independent sources (everhomes.ae, vision-ary.com, insiderealty.ae) agree tightly on a starting price of roughly AED 1.56 million (specifically AED 1,565,176 per everhomes.ae's own floor-plan data). A fourth source (whitewill.ae) lists a higher starting figure of AED 1,940,000, which this guide discloses as a differing figure, most plausibly reflecting a different unit type or a later listing snapshot, rather than treating it as the headline starting price. The payment plan is consistently 20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% on handover, per two independent sources (everhomes.ae, insiderealty.ae). Propsearch.ae separately cites a Dubai Land Department project-value estimate of roughly AED 1.8 billion (submitted by the developer prior to construction, subject to change), a total project valuation rather than a per-unit price.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Skyscape Altius 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.
