Hillgate is a residential complex of several buildings in Dubai Silicon Oasis.
The developer is Ellington Properties Development.
The complex holds 356 apartments in total. The tallest tower rises 17 storeys.
The database has nothing for this project at the moment: lots come and go here, and it refreshes nightly.
A 17-storey Ellington building in Dubai Silicon Oasis with 356 residences. Passport status: 'Planned' — meaning construction hasn't started yet.
What it is
Hillgate is a residential building in Dubai Silicon Oasis by Ellington Properties Development. 17 storeys, 356 residences. The passport records the stage as Planned — the project has been announced but hasn't broken ground.
That's an important distinction from the other projects in this series. 'Planned' means the handover date exists only as the developer's intent: the gap between an announcement and groundbreaking in Dubai runs from a few months to several years, and some announced projects never break ground at all.
What buying at the announcement stage means
The upside is clear: starting prices at this stage are the lowest across the project's whole cycle, and the choice of units is at its widest.
The downsides are bigger and worth spelling out. The holding period before getting the keys is the longest possible. The project's mix and layouts can still change. And most importantly — it may never reach construction at all, and getting money back out of escrow is not a fast process.
The practical rule: at this stage you're evaluating the developer, not the project. Ellington has a track record of completed buildings, and this same series covers its finished projects — Kensington Waters in Sobha Hartland and the under-construction Crestmark in Business Bay. Look at how it held to schedule there.
The district
In our database, Dubai Silicon Oasis has just 7 lots, with a median of AED 3.31 million at around AED 1,248 per square foot — the cheapest price per foot among the districts in this series.
Seven listings for the whole district is an extremely thin market. Selling here takes longer than almost anywhere central, and there will be almost nothing to compare your unit against. Silicon Oasis was conceived as a tech park with housing attached: a university, offices, a calm low-rise setting, tenants drawn from the district's companies.
Our three listings in the building are all priced the same — AED 3.31 million, exactly at the district median.

Where it is
Nothing in the stock for this project right now
Lots for this project come and go, and the stock is topped up nightly. Message me — I will look through the closed bases and find the closest alternatives in Dubai Silicon Oasis.
17 — that is the tallest building of the complex. The complex has 356 apartments.
Where is Hillgate?
Dubai Silicon Oasis. Dubai Silicon Oasis: a self-contained technology free zone with its own housing, schools and retail, on the eastern side of the city.
How much does an apartment in Hillgate cost?
There are no open listings for this building in the database right now. I will check the price for a particular layout against the closed databases and send it with the deal costs worked out.
Keeta Drone has signed an MoU with Sobha Realty to bring drone delivery to Sobha Hartland, home to 11 000+ residents — the service's first tie-up with a developer's smart community in the UAE. It already flies in Dubai Silicon Oasis and Nad Al Sheba. What it changes for tenants and owners.
A technology park with housing inside it and universities alongside. Ownership is not the standard freehold, and the tenant pool comes with an academic calendar.
In a district with universities, a noticeable share of rental demand comes from students and teaching staff. That demand runs on its own calendar and has its own requirements.
Where this project stands today
I will send the available layouts, the real entry price and what owners and tenants actually say about the building — without the brochure language.
