An Ellington building in Sobha Hartland. All six of our lots are one-bedroom units, 720–854 ft², priced AED 1.84–2.16 million.
What this building is
The Highbury is a residential building by Ellington Properties in Sobha Hartland, designed by Gulf Engineering & Consultants. Stage: under construction.
Ellington operates in the design-led segment: distinctive common areas, finishes above average for the price band. In Hartland, built out mostly with Sobha towers, that's a noticeable point of difference.
All six of our lots are one-bedroom apartments ranging from 720 to 854 square feet. No other layouts appear in the sample.
What the numbers show
Prices range from AED 1.84 million to AED 2.16 million, at an average price of around AED 2,480 per square foot. Neighbouring Sobha towers in the district go for AED 2,346–2,348: the roughly six percent difference is the premium for the design-led segment.
The price range is exceptionally narrow — a factor of 1.17 for an identical layout. The lots are practically identical, differing only in floor and orientation.
There's no discount data for this address: the field is blank on every lot.
What to factor in
First, uniformity. Six identical one-bedroom units mean that on resale you're competing directly with your neighbours in the same building, and price wins.
Second, Hartland is car-dependent: there's no metro within walking distance, and the tenant pool is limited to those with a car.
Third, the design premium works while the building is new. On the secondary market a few years on it narrows; factor that into your exit calculation.
The propsearch property record (building type, developer, designer, district, stage) and our own stock as of 28 August 2026: 6 lots — price range, sizes, price per square foot, bedroom mix. The discount field for this address is blank.
The final payment on this building falls in 2026 — 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.
Up to 80% of the appraised value, no extra down payment
3.99% fixed for three years, up to 25 years in term
6–12 months before the keys — the bank wants six months of income history
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.

When is Highbury handed over?
Construction is ongoing; the key-handover date for the unit you choose I check in the contract before you sign.
Where is Highbury?
Sobha Hartland. A dense, green, well-built enclave beside the Ras Al Khor sanctuary — Sobha’s answer to MBR City.
How much does an apartment in Highbury cost?
The database currently holds 8 lots in this project, from 1 744 000 AED; 2 of them priced below the market, the deepest discount 4%. The list changes daily — I will send a fresh selection for the building on request.
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.
A district where a single developer owns the land, designs, builds with its own workforce and maintains the grounds. That brings coherence — and creates dependence.
A boutique developer whose project sits within a large master-planned community. Two developers shape your daily life in that situation, and only one of them signed your contract.
Where this project stands today
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.
