Dubai Hills Estate · Emaar
Photos and renders of the building and grounds — not of this particular unit.
Layouts and the handover date come from the developer's brochure in our archive. Prices and payment plans from the same source are deliberately not published: they are dated to when the brochure was issued and do not match today's prices. I will send the current ones over WhatsApp.
Floor plans from the developer's own materials. The areas and the unit split on them were correct when the drawing was issued — check them against the plan attached to the contract before the deal.
A residential building in Dubai Hills Estate, currently under construction. Developer — Emaar.
Specifications for Vida Residences Hillside per Propsearch and the Dubai Land Department. They describe the whole building, not the individual unit.
Vida Residences Hillside is a residential building in Dubai Hills Estate, handover is due Q2 2029.
The developer is Emaar.
The database has nothing for this project at the moment: lots come and go here, and it refreshes nightly.
Two Emaar buildings on a shared podium plus eight townhouses in Dubai Hills Estate, interiors by the Vida hospitality brand. King's College Hospital and a GEMS school within walking distance.
Apartments in two buildings and eight two-storey townhouses with private terraces and park views. The finish is minimalist, in natural earthy tones.
Eight townhouses across the whole project is a rare format. Lots like these usually go before the public launch, and if that's specifically what you're after, check their status right away.
Dubai Hills Estate is a stable family community with a golf course, a mall, schools and a hospital. That said, per the monthly market review the area's villas lost around 5% over the year — while villas across the emirate as a whole didn't move.
That affects apartments only indirectly, but the backdrop is worth knowing: the area has stopped growing at an above-market pace. For an end-user buyer that's arguably good news — there's room to negotiate; for an investor it's a reason to underwrite the yield conservatively.
Separately: the area accounts for around 3.3% of all ready-home transactions in the emirate per month — it's in the top five by turnover.
Vida is Emaar's own hospitality brand, not an outside partner. That sets the project apart from branded residences where the name is licensed from someone else's chain: here the developer and the brand are the same company, and accountability isn't diluted.
Selling-side materials at launch: the complex's composition, finishes and surroundings. Year-on-year trend and the area's share of transactions — the monthly market review.

Ask about this projectThe final payment on this building falls in 2029 — under off-plan plans that is 40–60% of the price in one go. A UAE bank closes it: the flat becomes the security, and nothing is added on top of what the developer has already been paid.
Already been invoiced, or missed the date? That is not a dead end either — write and we will look at what the developer will accept.

The developer's brochure says Q2 2029. The date in the contract for a particular unit can differ — I check it before the deal.
Dubai Hills Estate. Emaar’s flagship family masterplan: a golf course, a park, a mall and schools, eleven minutes from Downtown.
No open lots for the building today. I will check the price of the layout you are after in the closed databases and send it with every cost of the deal worked out.
What has been written about the building, its developer and Dubai Hills Estate
Emirates Golf Club, Montgomerie, Dubai Creek, The Els Club, Dubai Hills, Arabian Ranches and Jumeirah Golf Estates: when each opened, who designed it and which communities surround it. A buyer's guide for people choosing the home, not the membership.
Most buyers here occupy rather than let. That single fact changes the yield, the tenant pool and how the buildings are run.
One district holds villas in its core and apartment buildings around its perimeter. They are two different assets with different logic.
Majid Al Futtaim is spending AED 5bn on Mall of the Emirates: about 20 000 m² and 100 new stores. Emaar is adding 240 shops and restaurants to Dubai Mall for AED 1.5bn and building Dubai Square in Creek Harbour. How malls move home values in Al Barsha, Downtown and by the creek.
Construction Week ranks the 100 largest developers in the Gulf by the value of completed and under-construction projects. UAE developers hold more than half the spots — from Emaar and Aldar to DAMAC and Danube. How to read the ranking, and what it tells a buyer.
Three hotel-branded schemes in Dubai Hills: Mallside Residences with Curio Collection by Hilton next to the mall (sold out, due Q4 2026), Emaar’s Address Residences Dubai Hills (December 2024, from AED 1.9m, due Q1 2029) and the completed Address Villas Hillcrest, from AED 20.95m in our stock.
The Heights Country Club — 81 million sq ft, an estimated AED 55bn, near Al Maktoum Airport, launched May 2024 with townhouses from ~AED 2.4m and handover around 2028. Grand Polo Club & Resort in Dubai Investments Park 2 followed in 2025: three polo fields, Chevalia Estate villas from AED 7.88m,…
In March 2026 S&P saw no liquidity pressure at Emaar, DAMAC, Omniyat and PNC Investments. In July Moody's reported most UAE projects due in 2026–27 on schedule despite imported materials costing 20–25% more. What off-plan buyers should take from both.
In May 2026 Dubai Holding took ICD's 22.27% of Emaar for AED 23.9bn, lifting its stake to 29.73%. Mubadala raised its Aldar holding from 26.26% to 28.03% between March and August. What the reshuffle means for buyers of the UAE's two flagship developers.
