Before you buy
Pay into the project's escrow account only.
Every off-plan project in Dubai must have an escrow account at a bank, watched by RERA. Pay into that account, never to a person. Ask for the account number.
Budget for the service charge.
Once the building is finished you pay a yearly service charge per sq ft, set from the building's budget and approved by RERA. "Rent and yield" below gives the figure for this project.
Register the sale with Oqood.
The Land Department records off-plan sales in its Oqood register. Until your sale is on it, the home isn't in your name.

Gross yield is a year's rent before costs, as a share of the price. At the from price: AED 85,000 ÷ AED 1,710,000 = 5%. The home earns nothing until the keys, and new buildings often rent for more than older ones.
Rents come from Ejari, Dubai's register of rent contracts: new residential contracts in the area, all buildings. A median is the middle one: half are lower, half higher.

Sobha Skyscape Aura is a Sobha Realty tower in Sobha Hartland 2 with one- to three-bedroom apartments from AED 1,710,000 and handover listed for December 2028. The price check puts its from price per square foot 10.4% above 232 similar one-bedroom sales across the area, and the listing gives no payment plan.
Start with the price. The price check puts the from price per square foot 10.4% above 232 similar sales across Al Merkadh (12 months to November 2026). It compares one-bedroom off-plan sales registered with the Dubai Land Department. Those are sales across the area, not in this tower.
The listing gives no payment plan, so ask the developer for the current payment plan. Get it in writing, with the amount and date of each step, before you pay anything. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 68,400; ask when it is due. The listed handover is December 2028, about two years away.
Layouts come in one, 1.5, two, 2.5 and three bedrooms, from 745 to 1,731 sq ft. The tower mixes homes with retail units and is listed with 39 floors, 3 podiums, a ground level and a rooftop. The listing says living rooms and bedrooms are fully furnished, so ask exactly what furniture is included. Shared facilities include a lagoon, a wave pool, a gym, a spa and Zen gardens on the rooftop and podium.
North London Collegiate School is about 2.7 km away and Hartland International School about 3.0 km, both about 12 minutes by car. Creek Metro Station is a 12-minute drive, about 5.2 km off, and the Dubai Creek Harbour waterfront is about 11 minutes away. Downtown Dubai is about 6.1 km away, around 14 minutes by car.
