Located within Mohammed Bin Rashid City in Dubai
Sobha Hartland is a mixed-use real estate development that covers about 750,000 sq.m and comprises 3 phases.
The project is master-planned and developed by Sobha Realty, with final completion scheduled for 2025 through its subsidiary, Sobha Properties Ltd.
Owners and investors acquire assets that enjoy an array of amenities such as landscaped walkways, parks and open spaces, swimming pools, tennis courts, a cricket pitch, cafes, hotels, restaurants and shops, schools, spas, and a yoga studio.
The wider Mohammad Bin Rashid City project is located close to the Ras Al Khor nature reserve and Sobha Hartlands takes some inspiration from its neighbour as more than 30% of its area has parks and green landscaped spaces, boasting over 300 species of trees and other plants covering an area of 22 hectares.
As such, the emergent area is developing a strong and favoured reputation with ex-pats, families and investors. More properties are set to be released into the market over the remainder of the build, but investor demand remains strong with each new release commanding asking prices slightly above the previous.
Forecasts predict above-market performance and sustained returns in the short, mid and longer term.

Sobha Hartland real estate outlook
Most Dubai property is predicted to perform well in the short to medium term. Buoyed by one of the world’s strongest economies and state-backed initiatives to further increase the size of the expat population, real estate in the emirate is expected to outperform most major prime property markets. This is particularly true as most of its global alternatives are much more reliant on the mortgage market – and rising interest rates are already dampeneng demand.
Sobha Hartlands may be one of the locations to see values rise the most in the long-term too, especially as nearby Mohammed Bin Rashid City grows in size and prominece.
Investors should be wary that Mohammed Bin Rashid City will be the site of much of the new property coming onto the market in the coming years, but the growing demand is set to ensure that absorption remains high.
Sobha Hartland location and lifestyle
Like with much of Dubai property investment, it is hard to separate the appeal of Dubai’s lifestyle from the ROI; the lifestyle drives the demand for property and tenancy.
As mentioned, the project offers one of the most senere and green lifestyles in Dubai. Sobha Hartland’s residents also have easy access to the Dubai Metro’s green line, located just across the canal. Additionally, the upcoming purple metro line will run alongside the community and connect to Al Maktoum International Airport in Jebel Ali.

Sobha Hartland’s property market is a good mix of completed and off-plan properties.
