A supertall residential tower of 91 storeys
Sobha Realty is building Skyscape Altius, a residential skyscraper in its Sobha Hartland 2 masterplan, located in Mohammed Bin Rashid City's Meydan area. With 91 storeys specified, the tower is classed as a supertall, and work on it is under way. Its planned units are apartments with one, two or three bedrooms.
Altius is one of three towers carrying the Skyscape name in the community. The other two, Skyscape Aura and Skyscape Avenue, are also under development.
The tower and its apartments
Large windows are specified for the apartments, opening them to the skyline. Sobha's brochure points the outlook two ways, across the community's lagoon and toward Downtown Dubai, and lists a lobby and a lagoon-side terrace among the building's spaces.
Sobha Hartland 2
Sobha Realty's second Hartland community sits on the eastern flank of the first. Its brochure puts the land at roughly 8 million sq ft, laid out as an urban district inside a forest-style landscape, and closed around private gated neighbourhoods and broad lagoons.
The masterplan
Sobha's model of the plan shows lagoons ringed by towers and villas, with planted ground in between. On the southern side a crescent lagoon is fronted by ten skyscrapers, each around 40 storeys. Both ends of the crescent hold three-building clusters, whose tallest members are supertall. The plan devotes its northern half to villas: over 100 in one cluster, along with a further dozen mansions.
The plan names two sub-communities, Sobha Estates, which is being developed, and Sobha The Mansions, still in planning. The community's building developments number 15 so far, including six Riverside Crescent buildings and the Skyvue towers.
Green space and the lagoons
Each item below comes from Sobha's brochure for the community and is planned rather than built:
- More than 1m sq ft of landscaped green area, made up of open lawns, paths lined with trees and long linear parks
- Lagoons serving both the apartment and the villa districts
- A boardwalk on the water, with space for beach activities and waterside leisure
- Streetscapes with climbing (bouldering) walls, forest planting and seasonal gardens
- Purpose-built running and walking trails
The neighbourhood
MBR City, the large development zone south of Business Bay, takes in the Meydan district and with it Sobha Hartland 2. To the west sits the original Sobha Hartland, a mixed-use community of eight million sq ft whose stock runs from apartments and duplexes to townhouses and villas. Close by is Azizi Riviera in Meydan One, built around a lagoon and made up of 69 mid-rise apartment buildings plus two hotels. Further into Meydan is Meydan Racecourse.
