Layouts and the handover date come from the developer's brochure in our archive. Prices and payment plans from the same source are deliberately not published: they are dated to when the brochure was issued and do not match today's prices. I will send the current ones over WhatsApp.
These are the starting prices as of the date shown, not today's list: off-plan they are revised several times a year, and more often upwards than down.
Figures come from the developer's own materials sent to brokers, dated 2 June 2026. The commentary behind them is written up in the Russian version of this page.

The final payment on this building falls in 2027 — under off-plan plans that is 40–60% of the price in one go. A UAE bank closes it: the flat becomes the security, and nothing is added on top of what the developer has already been paid.
Already been invoiced, or missed the date? That is not a dead end either — write and we will look at what the developer will accept.

What has been written about the building, its developer and Motor City
Sobha Hartland is an 8 million sq ft single-developer master plan in MBR City with two international schools, plenty of green space and Downtown 10 minutes away. The trade-offs: entry from AED 1.17m, a median of AED 2.09m, no metro before 2032 and Hartland II under construction next door.
Keeta Drone has signed an MoU with Sobha Realty to bring drone delivery to Sobha Hartland, home to 11 000+ residents — the service's first tie-up with a developer's smart community in the UAE. It already flies in Dubai Silicon Oasis and Nad Al Sheba. What it changes for tenants and owners.
Residential neighbourhoods around a race circuit and an automotive business park. The event noise runs to a schedule — and the schedule is published.
A long-established Dubai company listed on the local exchange, and the creator of Motor City. What a smaller listed developer’s reporting tells a buyer, and which lines matter.
A developer that builds with its own construction arm instead of appointing a main contractor. What that does to programme and quality, where the concentrated risk sits, and what to check.
I will tell you which layouts are available now, what entry really costs and what the people who live in or let the building think of it — no marketing language.
