1-Bedroom Apartment in Sobha Hartland — Boulevard View

This is the higher-placed Type B one-bedroom of the pair we list in Sobha Hartland: 899 sq ft with a spacious balcony, two bathrooms and a boulevard view, priced at AED 1.48M, or AED 1,854 per sq ft. It is on an upper floor, which is the main difference from its neighbour at the same asking price.

The plan is the standard Type B: one bedroom, two bathrooms, a fully fitted kitchen with built-in cabinetry and a Smeg sink, and a balcony large enough to eat on. The same price as the low-floor unit for three more square feet and a better level means this is the one to view first if the outlook matters to you.

MBR City's case to an investor is that it is central, low-rise and finite. The master plan wraps around a swimmable lagoon and the Hartland greenways, the land inside it is fixed, and one developer, Sobha, builds and manages most of it. Downtown and DIFC are around ten minutes by Al Khail Road, and the Meydan racecourse and the Ras Al Khor sanctuary are the neighbours. As a benchmark typical gross yields in MBR City are around 6–6.5%, and owners here have generally been paid more by price growth than by rent.

Ask us for both Type B plans and we will book the two units back to back on the same afternoon, so the floor difference is something you have seen rather than read about.
