The Element at Sobha One: What Sobha Realty Brings to Hartland Next
Getting In for 10%
The standout number here is the 10% down payment. For a one-bedroom starting at AED 1,823,425, that puts the initial outlay at roughly AED 182,000. For a two-bedroom, the entry is about AED 300,000. The rest follows a straightforward split:
| Phase | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 50% |
| On handover | 40% |
The construction-phase payments carry the bulk of the obligation. With handover projected for late 2029, buyers have about four years to work through the 50% construction tranche before the 40% handover payment comes due. On a one-bedroom unit, that handover amount comes to roughly AED 729,000. On a four-bedroom, it reaches about AED 2,567,000. The unit size determines how significant that final payment becomes, so the low entry point tells only part of the story.
What the Project Is
The Element at Sobha One is an apartment development by Sobha Realty within the Sobha Hartland master community. It sits inside Mohammed Bin Rashid City (MBR City), one of Dubai's central mega-developments. Construction broke ground in May 2025, placing this firmly in the early off-plan stage. The project offers apartments only, ranging from one to four bedrooms across 14 distinct layout types.
Living in Sobha Hartland
Sobha Hartland occupies a stretch of MBR City between Downtown Dubai and Meydan, with direct access to Al Khail Road. A resident can reach Downtown in roughly 10 minutes by car and Dubai International Airport in about 15 minutes.
This part of MBR City sits along the Dubai Water Canal, which gives the neighbourhood a defined edge and some separation from the broader district. For daily life, the location means short drives to major retail and business hubs along Sheikh Zayed Road and in Downtown. The proximity to Meydan also places residents near the Meydan Racecourse and its surrounding district.
What AED 1.8M to AED 6.4M Buys You
The price range spans from AED 1,820,000 to AED 6,418,204. That spread reflects the gap between compact one-bedroom layouts and a spacious four-bedroom unit. Here is how the units break down:
| Bedrooms | Size Range (sq ft) | Starting Price (AED) | Price per sq ft (AED) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 BR | 729 - 753 | 1,823,425 | ~2,421 - 2,501 |
| 2 BR | 1,184 - 1,516 | 3,000,000 | ~1,979 - 2,534 |
| 3 BR | 1,853 - 1,958 | 4,732,380 | ~2,417 - 2,554 |
| 4 BR | 2,445 | 6,418,204 | ~2,626 |
The one-bedroom units cluster tightly around 730 to 750 sq ft across three layout types, all at the same starting price. Buyers at this tier are likely investors or individuals looking for a unit in a master-planned community from a recognized developer.
The two-bedroom bracket shows the widest variety and the widest value spread. Five layout types range from 1,184 to 1,516 sq ft, all starting at AED 3,000,000. The largest two-bedroom layout (Type E at 1,516 sq ft) delivers the lowest price per square foot in the entire project at roughly AED 1,979/sq ft. That makes it the strongest value play on paper, though floor level and view will adjust the final number.
Three-bedroom units start at AED 4,732,380 and range from 1,853 to 1,958 sq ft. The single four-bedroom layout at 2,445 sq ft tops the range at AED 6,418,204. These larger units target families who want generous space within the Hartland community.
Four Years on the Clock
Construction started in May 2025 with expected completion in December 2029. That gives off-plan buyers a roughly four-and-a-half-year window before handover. For someone entering now, this is about as early-stage as it gets. The construction timeline aligns with the payment plan: the 50% construction tranche spreads over the full build period, keeping periodic payments more manageable than they would be on a compressed two-year schedule.
What the Building Offers
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness & Leisure | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
The amenity set covers the fundamentals. An indoor pool rather than an outdoor one suggests the developer planned for year-round use regardless of Dubai's summer heat. On-site restaurants point toward a self-contained living model, consistent with how master communities in this part of Dubai tend to operate. The children's play area and landscaped gardens round out a family-oriented package and signal that the project targets owner-occupiers as much as investors.
