Sobha Group launched it on July 16, 2014 as a $4 billion mixed-use development about 3 km from Burj Khalifa. Its successor, Sobha Hartland II, was launched next to it in November 2022, and Sobha Realty gives each community an area of 8 million square feet and more than 12,000 homes.

The first parts of Sobha Hartland were reported due in 2016, and the company was still handing over homes in the original community in 2021.

12. Location
13. The community lies in Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum City, beside Al Khail Road, and Sobha said at the launch that it was a few minutes' drive from DIFC, Dubai's financial district, and The Dubai Mall. Gulf News described it in 2021 as overlooking Downtown Dubai, and its Gardenia Villas were sold with views of the Dubai Canal. Sobha's vice chairman, Ajay Rajendran, said at the launch that it was meant for people who worked in the financial center, Business Bay and nearby districts.
14. Launch and early phases
15. At the launch, Khaleej Times reported a plan covering 185 acres with more than 30% given to green space, made up of 282 L-shaped villas, 18 low-rise apartment buildings and a few towers, along with two international schools and three hotels. The National reported that the 282 villas went on sale from Dh12.5 million, or Dh2,006 per square foot for a 6,259 square foot villa, with completion due in 2016. It was Sobha's second villa project in Mohammed Bin Rashid City, after District One, its joint venture with Meydan. Construction had already begun, and Sobha said it would build the roads, landscaping and villas before the apartments and schools, and the hotels and shops last.
16. In September 2017 Sobha released Hartland Gardenia Villas, the second phase of the villa community, with 22 four-bedroom villas of 4,349 square feet priced at Dh8 million each and due in August 2019. Khaleej Times reported then that Sobha valued the whole Hartland development at Dh15 billion, compared with the $4 billion given in 2014.

Its president, Jyotsna Hegde, told Gulf News that completing Sobha Hartland remained the company's priority.
21. Schools and amenities
22. Two schools stand in the community. Hartland International School, a British curriculum school backed by Sobha Group, opened with 400 students and classes up to Year 6, according to Gulf News, and was already running in September 2017. The National reported in June 2017 that North London Collegiate School's Dubai campus would open in Sobha Hartland that September, with annual fees from Dh83,000 to Dh130,000. Gulf News reported in 2021 that 30% of the land was set aside for greenery and open space, with more than 300 species of plants and trees, and that the community had shops, restaurants and a waterfront boardwalk.
23. Sobha Hartland II
24. Sobha Realty launched Sobha Hartland II on November 22, 2022, the second day of Cityscape Dubai and a day after it launched Sobha One. Khaleej Times reported an area of 8 million square feet with 90 acres of greens and open space, more than 8,000 trees, five- and six-bedroom villas and one- to four-bedroom apartments in a private gated community. Sobha said the site was seven to 10 minutes from Burj Khalifa and looked over the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, and that it would include a clubhouse, a school, a crystal lagoon with waterfront shops and a community retail center. At the launch Sobha expected villas to be delivered from the second quarter of 2025 and apartments from the fourth quarter of 2025.
