350 Riverside Crescent by Sobha Realty

350 Riverside Crescent is a high-rise residential tower over a podium by Sobha Realty in Sobha Hartland 2, Dubai. It is one of six towers in the Riverside Crescent cluster, which the developer arranges as a tapered crescent, and it offers 742 residences across 1 bedroom, 1.5 bedroom and 2 bedroom apartments, with handover scheduled for Q4 2027.

350 Riverside Crescent is in Sobha Hartland 2, Dubai. According to Sobha Realty's brochure, the community is about 5 minutes from Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, about 10 minutes from Downtown Dubai and Meydan Racecourse, about 12 minutes from Dubai International Airport and Business Bay, about 15 minutes from Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall, and about 25 minutes from Palm Jumeirah. These are community-level figures, not times measured from the tower itself.

The tower offers three layouts: 1 bedroom apartments from 527 to 731 sq ft (49 to 68 sq m), 1.5 bedroom apartments from 705 to 1,181 sq ft (65 to 110 sq m) and 2 bedroom apartments from 1,005 to 1,337 sq ft (93 to 124 sq m). In Sobha Realty's unit plans, a 1.5 bedroom is a one-bedroom layout with a study room, some types also with a powder room. Several 1 bedroom types include a powder room and one includes a store room, the 2 bedroom plans are drawn with a powder room, and every unit type has a balcony.

Prices start from AED 1.09M ≈ USD 297K for a 1 bedroom apartment, AED 1.66M ≈ USD 452K for a 1.5 bedroom apartment and AED 2.55M ≈ USD 694K for a 2 bedroom apartment. These are starting prices: floor, view and layout set the final figure for each unit, and 9 units were available at the time of writing. Sobha Realty controls releases and can revise pricing as the tower moves through construction.

Sobha Realty offers an 80/20 plan: a 20% down payment plus the 4% DLD registration fee at booking, 60% during construction and 20% on completion. On the AED 1.09M starting price, that is AED 218,000 down plus an AED 43,600 registration fee, AED 654,000 during construction and AED 218,000 on completion. The timing of the construction 60% is set in the SPA, and with the tower already past the halfway mark, part of it may fall due at signing or soon after.

Handover is scheduled for Q4 2027. The tower is under construction and past the halfway mark, and its progress is read against the Dubai Land Department project register in the 350 Riverside Crescent construction updates guide. Handover dates in Dubai are set by the developer and can move, so the current schedule should be confirmed with Sobha Realty before relying on it for a move-in or rental plan.

Sobha Realty lists eight tower amenities: a yoga zone, an indoor gym, a multipurpose hall with outdoor space, an observation deck, a kid's playroom, a library, an art and music room and an indoor movie theatre. The podium adds a leisure pool with infinity edge, a toddler pool, a wet bed deck and jacuzzi, a barbeque area, an outdoor gym and yoga zone, a kids' play area, sun loungers with day beds and cabanas, and a sensory garden. At community level, the developer describes Sobha Hartland 2 as offering over 70 amenities, among them clubhouses with a 50m Olympic pool, a wave pool, paddleboarding and pedal kayaks, tennis and padel courts, a skate park, cycle paths and a pet park.

Views depend on the unit and the floor. Sobha Realty's unit plans label individual apartments with park, Dubai skyline, lagoon and community views, and some with street views, while the developer markets the Riverside Crescent towers on their outlook over the city skyline, the community greenery and Meydan Racecourse. No single view applies to every apartment, so the view is best checked on the plan for the specific unit.

Only the 2 bedroom apartments, from AED 2.55M ≈ USD 694K, are priced above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property investment threshold for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa. The 1 bedroom from AED 1.09M and the 1.5 bedroom from AED 1.66M are below it. The qualifying value is the purchase price recorded on the title deed or Oqood, and approval rests with the UAE authorities. The 350 Riverside Crescent Golden Visa guide covers the eligibility steps in detail.

In Dubai, foreign nationals can own property outright in designated freehold areas, and ownership of an off-plan unit is first recorded through Oqood registration and then through a title deed after completion. The project documents reviewed for this page do not state the tenure of 350 Riverside Crescent, so freehold status should be confirmed in the SPA and the Oqood record before signing.

Payments to Sobha Realty for 350 Riverside Crescent are made into the project's escrow account with Emirates NBD and released to the developer against verified construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. The 4% DLD registration fee is paid to the Dubai Land Department and does not go into escrow. The 350 Riverside Crescent escrow account guide explains how the account works and how to check it before paying.

Yes. The full process, from reservation and the down payment to SPA signing and Oqood registration, can be completed remotely, and I manage it end to end with the developer on your behalf. Each stage of the remote purchase is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.
