Sky Hills ASTRA

Twin towers with four basement levels in a district built for labs, not homes

Dubai Science Park hosts research facilities, pharmaceutical companies, and office buildings. Residential towers remain scarce here, which makes Sky Hills ASTRA an outlier in the neighborhood's fabric. HRE Development delivers two 34-story buildings sharing four underground parking levels, a common ground floor, and a two-story podium. The project follows the developer's Sakura Gardens in Dubailand, continuing a pattern of integrated communities with extensive amenities. Prices start below AED 1.6 million, positioning the project in the mid-market segment. Handover is scheduled for December 2027.

Eight minutes from Dubai Hills Mall by car

The complex sits near Dubai Miracle Garden and the Dubai Polo and Equestrian Club. Dubai Hills Mall requires an eight-minute drive, providing quick access to retail and dining options. Jumeirah Village Circle and Dubai Autodrome are twelve minutes away, while Downtown Dubai takes around 21 minutes. Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah stay under 25 minutes. Al Maktoum International Airport, set to become Dubai's primary aviation hub, is 32 minutes by road. This mid-city location offers lower price points than established neighborhoods while maintaining reasonable connectivity to major destinations.

Furnished apartments with planted balconies

All units come fully furnished, a feature uncommon at this price level in Dubai's new developments. Interior finishes use neutral tones and materials the developer describes as premium. Each apartment includes a balcony fitted with lounge furniture and live plants. This greenery-forward approach differentiates the project from standard tower offerings where balconies remain bare concrete. Buyers seeking turnkey properties can move in without sourcing furniture or negotiating with contractors. Unit sizes and layouts vary across the two towers, accommodating different household configurations.

Two Olympic pools plus rooftop padel court

The podium level features two Olympic-size swimming pools alongside a lagoon-style pool with a sandy beach area. Fitness options include covered and open-air gyms, jogging tracks, and a yoga zone on the rooftop. A panoramic padel court occupies the upper deck, catering to a sport gaining traction among Dubai's expat population. Sauna and steam rooms provide recovery spaces after workouts. The complex also houses a library, a business center for remote work, and BBQ zones for social gatherings. Children's play areas exist in both covered and outdoor formats.

EV charging stations in underground parking

HRE Development integrates electric vehicle charging points across the four basement levels. Energy-efficient lighting systems serve common areas throughout the buildings. These features address growing buyer interest in sustainability without pursuing formal green certifications. Dubai's regulatory environment increasingly favors developments with reduced environmental footprints. The infrastructure prepares residents for the emirate's push toward electric mobility. While not LEED-certified, the project demonstrates measurable commitment to lower energy consumption.

Target buyer: families near Motor City and Autodrome

Sky Hills ASTRA appeals to households working in the industrial and scientific zones south of central Dubai. The entry price below AED 1.6 million suits first-time buyers and investors seeking moderate exposure. Schools in Motor City and sports facilities at Dubai Autodrome attract families with children. Smaller units on higher floors may draw young professionals or couples prioritizing views over space. Freehold ownership allows non-residents to purchase outright, expanding the buyer pool to international investors looking for Dubai property without residency requirements.
