Skyhills Astra — Dubai Science Park
By HRE Development
Starting from AED 750,000
Introduction
Skyhills Astra is a compact, purpose driven residential project in Dubai Science Park that wants two things: to be a calm place to live and to give buyers a clear sense of value. Prices start from AED 750,000. The offering covers studios and 1 bedroom apartments up to duplex 2 and 3 bedroom homes, with unit sizes roughly from 369 to 1,206 square feet for apartments and from 965 to 1,996 square feet for duplexes. Handover is scheduled for Q2 2028.
This is not a showpiece for showpieces sake. The architecture and interiors lean toward usable space, generous ceiling heights, and long sightlines. There is also a cause baked in — HRE Development has partnered with Dubai Cares so each sale contributes to global education initiatives. If you prefer your real estate to have a tangible social footprint this project has that built into the story.
Why Investors Like It
There are three clear reasons investors pay attention here:
- Demand mix — Dubai Science Park attracts professionals from life sciences, logistics and tech who prefer nearby housing. That creates steady renter demand for compact one bedroom and duplex inventory.
- Fast turnaround — Handover in Q2 2028 means a shorter maturity period than many long tail off plan projects, improving the timeline for rental income and exit.
- Payment flexibility — The 60 40 with a five year post handover option reduces near term cash drag and helps investors manage leverage and cash flow.
Finally, the Dubai Cares partnership gives an extra narrative for certain tenant pools and buyers who prefer assets with social value. Quality interiors, practical amenities and a compact timeline combine to make the investment case straightforward and defensible.
