What is HRE building at Skyhills Astra?
HRE lists 1,696 homes, with studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. Its advertised facilities include a beach-style pool, a lap pool, a business centre and a running track.

How much is Skyhills Astra, and what would you pay first?
The presentation linked by HRE shows an AED 850,000 starting price and 20% down payment. It doesn't give a dated offer for an available apartment or the full payment calendar.
Illustrative calculation: AED 850,000 × 20% = AED 170,000 down, leaving AED 680,000 of the price. This uses the advertised starting figures, excludes fees and doesn't tell you when the balance is due.
| Ask the seller for | What you need to see |
|---|---|
| Dated unit quote | Tower, apartment number, price in AED and offer expiry |
| Payment annex | Every instalment's amount, due date and payment trigger |
| Area schedule | Internal area, balcony area and the area used to calculate the quoted price per square foot |
| Annual running costs | Estimated charges, calculation basis and costs billed separately |
Use the area-measurement guide if the quote and floor plan use different area labels.

When is completion, and how far has construction reached?
HRE gives 31 December 2027 as proposed completion and reports 47.07% progress, without an inspection date. No DLD inspection result was confirmed here.
Open the Dubai Land Department's Project Status Enquiry. Search with the seller's project number and check the returned name and inspection date. You can also use Dubai REST. If the match is unclear, DLD lists 8004488 for support.
Keep the official result beside the delivery clause in the sale and purchase agreement. Ask which extensions, notices and remedies apply if handover moves.

Watch out: what does the Metro claim mean for your commute?
HRE advertises direct Metro access. Its project page doesn't identify an operating station or show the walking route. Ask for both, then check today's journey from the building entrance at your usual travel time.

What isn't published?
A dated, unit-specific price list, complete payment calendar and annual service-charge budget weren't found in the material checked. No project-specific DLD result was confirmed.
Searches on 10 November 2026 covered HRE's current project page and linked presentation; DLD's project service and site:dubailand.gov.ae "Skyhills Astra"; and "Skyhills Astra" HRE launch press Dubai Cares 2025. The developer's March 2025 launch announcement doesn't fill those gaps.
Questions to ask before reserving an apartment
- Payment: “Please send the full payment annex and explain when the balance after the down payment is due.”
- Reservation: “Is the payment refundable, and where are the refund conditions written?”
- Home: “Which furniture, appliances and parking spaces are included in this apartment's specification?”
- Costs: “What is the annual charge estimate, and which services cost extra?”
Use the off-plan due-diligence checklist to match project registration, escrow and the offer. Keep the service-charge guide beside the running-cost estimate.
FAQ
Is Skyhills Astra the same as Skyhills Residences I?
HRE lists them separately in its project menu. Request documents that name Astra and your tower, rather than relying on the shared Skyhills name.
Does a 20% down payment mean the rest is due at handover?
The presentation doesn't publish a complete calendar. Ask for the dated payment annex, including any instalments after handover. Add up the percentages and check the amounts against your apartment's quoted price.
Does the proposed completion date guarantee when I can move in?
Read the agreement's delivery clause, then ask when inspections, final payments and keys would follow. Ask the seller to explain any difference between the agreement and the website.
