The Crest by Sobha: Four Towers in Sobha Hartland
The Crest is a four-tower apartment development by Sobha Realty, located within Sobha Hartland in Mohammed Bin Rashid City, Dubai. The project spans Towers A through D, offering one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments.
Inside Mohammed Bin Rashid City
Mohammed Bin Rashid City sits between Downtown Dubai and the Meydan corridor, roughly 10 to 15 minutes from the Burj Khalifa by car. Sobha Hartland is a sub-community within MBR City built around parks and green corridors, with a lower-density feel than urban districts like Business Bay or Dubai Marina. For buyers comparing locations, Hartland trades some urban intensity for a quieter residential environment while keeping Downtown within practical commute range.
The Crest is embedded within this master plan rather than sitting on an isolated plot. Residents have access to the broader Hartland community infrastructure rather than being contained within a single building footprint.
AED 800,000 and What the Unit Range Looks Like
The listed entry price is AED 800,000. At this level you are buying a one-bedroom apartment. The one-bedroom range across the four towers is wide: compact units in Tower B and C start around 500 to 600 sq ft, while Tower A offers one-bedroom layouts up to 890 sq ft. That spread within a single bedroom count is meaningful. A buyer at the lower end is acquiring a lean, compact unit; a buyer at the upper end of the one-bedroom range has a more livable primary residence footprint.
Two-bedroom apartments run from approximately 820 sq ft in Tower B and C to 1,394 sq ft in Tower A. Three-bedroom units appear in Towers A and D, with the largest reaching 1,706 sq ft in Tower D.
Apartments From One to Three Bedrooms
Every unit is an apartment. The project includes no villas, townhouses, or commercial space. Within the apartment category, buyers have a meaningful range: one-bedroom buyers cover investors and first-home buyers, two-bedroom buyers span couples to small families, and three-bedroom buyers are typically end-users choosing a master community for the lifestyle.
Towers B and C concentrate the compact, smaller units. Towers A and D carry the larger family-oriented floor plans. Buyers with different needs within the same community will find their product in different towers.
The Amenity Set
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Wellness | Health Club, Gymnasium, Yoga Room |
| Outdoor and Social | Landscaped Gardens, Barbecue Area |
| Leisure | Shared Pool |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
Seven amenities across a four-tower development is a mid-range package. The three-piece wellness cluster suggests the target resident values daily fitness. The children's play area combined with the barbecue space reflects a resident mix that includes families and couples, not just single occupants. The overall package positions The Crest in the community apartment tier rather than the serviced or branded residence category.
Timeline: Past Its Completion Date
Construction started in November 2021. The expected completion was December 2025. As of mid-2026, the project is past its stated delivery milestone. Buyers looking at this project today are approaching something at or near handover rather than a standard off-plan purchase with years of build time remaining.
Getting In at 20% Down
| Phase | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down Payment | 20% |
| During Construction | 40% |
| On Handover | 40% |
The 20% down payment sits within standard market range for Dubai residential projects. The payment split is even: 40% during construction, 40% at handover. There is no post-handover installment structure, which means the full remaining 40% is due at delivery. For buyers entering now with the project near or at completion, the handover payment is a near-term financial event rather than a future obligation spread over time.
