Address Residences Dubai Hills Estate Golden Visa
Every Layout Clears the Threshold on a Single Title
One bedroom apartments here start at AED 2.10M ≈ USD 572K, above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K Golden Visa threshold, so the smallest layout in the building qualifies on its own. See how each tier sits against the line, what a part-elapsed payment plan does to application timing, and what off-plan buyers need before handover in Q1 2029.

Eligibility Snapshot
Address Residences Dubai Hills Estate Golden Visa Facts
Address Residences is a 582-apartment branded freehold development by Emaar inside Dubai Hills Estate, built across Tower A of 18 floors and Tower B of 21 and registered with the Dubai Land Department under project number 3228 on 20 August 2024 in the name of the DLD-registered entity Dubai Hills Estate L.L.C. Construction has been running since 5 December 2024 on a 55,252.27 sq m and was certified at 26.48% at the RERA inspection of 10 June 2026, up from 10.1% at the inspection before it, with the site work behind that figure set out in the Address Residences construction update for June 2026. The number that decides residency planning here: one bedroom apartments start at AED 2.10M ≈ USD 572K, roughly AED 100,000 ≈ USD 27K above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment applied under the UAE Golden Visa program, subject to the regulations in force when you apply. Two and three bedroom apartments start well clear of the line, so no tier in this building depends on combining properties. Handover is expected in Q1 2029, when Oqood registration converts to a title deed.

Unit by Unit
Which Address Residences Apartments Meet the AED 2M Threshold
In most Dubai apartment towers the Golden Visa threshold sits somewhere inside the price list, and a buyer who wants residency has to move up a bedroom to reach it. Address Residences does not impose that trade-off: the entry layout already clears AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, so the residency decision and the layout decision stay independent of each other. With five apartments left with the developer, the practical constraint here is which layouts remain rather than which ones qualify.
| Unit Type | Size Range | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | 749 to 921 sq ft (69 to 85 sq m) | AED 2.10M ≈ USD 572K | Yes |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | 1,074 to 1,261 sq ft (99 to 117 sq m) | AED 3.80M ≈ USD 1.03M | Yes |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | 1,527 to 1,688 sq ft (141 to 156 sq m) | AED 5.30M ≈ USD 1.44M | Yes |
| Every released layout at Address Residences qualifies individually. No combining of properties is needed. | |||
Why this matters: eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value rather than on the tier name, so a one bedroom bought at AED 2.10M ≈ USD 572K holds above the threshold from the moment the contract is registered. The margin on that tier is roughly AED 100,000 ≈ USD 27K, thin enough to matter later: a secondary market apartment repriced below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K would not qualify on its own, so confirm the contract value on your specific unit before applying.
Payment Plan and Timing
When Off-Plan Buyers at Address Residences Can Apply
Emaar structured Address Residences on an 80/20 construction linked plan: 10% on booking plus the 4% DLD fee, 70% released across eight dated instalments running from October 2024 to April 2028, and the closing 20% at completion in February 2029. Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration, which Emaar completes after booking, together with proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any payment conditions applied by the Dubai Land Department and residency authorities at the time you apply.
My read on the timing: the instalments are dated to the calendar rather than to your booking, and the schedule has been running since October 2024, so a purchase made now settles the instalments already invoiced against that unit at the point of booking instead of starting at 10%. For residency planning that works in your favour, because the commonly applied paid-value conditions for off-plan applications are usually satisfied earlier on a part-elapsed plan than on one beginning from zero. Ask for the exact outstanding schedule on the apartment you are considering before building a timeline around it. Buyers relocating families or opening UAE bank accounts generally want residency early and apply on the strength of the Oqood-registered contract during the construction period, which runs to Q1 2029. Investors with no urgency often prefer the simplest possible file and wait for handover, when the title deed is issued and the application rests on completed, registered ownership. Because requirements for off-plan applications are updated from time to time, confirm the current paid-value condition before submitting.
VIP processing, zero service fee: for buyers who purchase through me, the full application service, document preparation, submission, and status follow-up, is included free. You pay only the official government fees published by the issuing authorities.

Address Residences Dubai Hills Estate Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
All three. One bedroom apartments start at AED 2.10M ≈ USD 572K, two bedrooms at AED 3.80M ≈ USD 1.03M and three bedrooms at AED 5.30M ≈ USD 1.44M, so every released layout clears the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum on a single registered purchase without combining properties. Always confirm the contract value of the specific apartment, since a secondary market unit repriced below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K would not qualify alone. Full criteria are covered in the Golden Visa requirements guide.
Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration and proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any paid-value conditions applied at the time of application. Buyers who prefer a simpler file can wait for the title deed at handover in Q1 2029. The sequence is set out step by step in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.
The plan is 10% on booking plus the 4% DLD fee, 70% across eight instalments dated between October 2024 and April 2028, and the closing 20% at completion in February 2029. Because those dates are fixed to the calendar rather than to each booking, a purchase made partway through the schedule settles the elapsed instalments at booking, which usually brings the paid share of the price to the commonly applied off-plan level sooner than a plan starting from zero.
The one bedroom starting price of AED 2.10M ≈ USD 572K sits roughly AED 100,000 ≈ USD 27K above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum. That margin applies to the current developer price list, and the figure moves with floor level, layout and orientation. Eligibility is assessed on the value registered on the contract rather than on an advertised starting price.
Yes. The development is freehold and open to all nationalities, with ownership registered at the Dubai Land Department, which is a requirement for property-based Golden Visa eligibility. Buyer payments are protected through a DLD-registered escrow account with Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank, detailed on the Address Residences escrow account page.
It means the title deed is still some distance away. The RERA inspection of 10 June 2026 certified 26.48% completion, up from 10.1% at the inspection before it, with handover expected in Q1 2029. Until then ownership is recorded through Oqood registration rather than a title deed, so an application made now would follow the off-plan route rather than rest on completed registered ownership. Progress is published on the Address Residences construction updates page.
No. For buyers who purchase through this advisory, the VIP application service, covering document preparation, submission, and status follow-up, is included at no charge. Only the official government fees apply, as published by the issuing authorities at the time of application.
No. The purchase makes you eligible to apply, but approval depends on satisfying all requirements in force at the time of application, including ownership verification and standard background checks. The 10-year renewable term is the program term currently in force, and what the visa does and does not cover is set out in the Golden Visa benefits guide.
