Golf Grand at Dubai Hills Estate Escrow Account

Emirates NBD Bank (P.J.S.C.) holds the escrow account for Golf Grand, account number 0204*****6121 (shown in full in the Escrow Details section above), opened under DLD project number 2599 when the project was registered in March 2023.

Golf Grand was sold on a 10 percent booking payment, 80 percent across construction linked instalments and 10 percent on completion. Each of those payments is made into the escrow account rather than to the developer, and Emirates NBD released the construction portion only against stages certified by Dubai Land Department inspections. The closing 10 percent falls due at handover, expected in Q1 2027.

No. The 4 percent Dubai Land Department registration fee sits outside the escrow account. It is paid to the Land Department as a registration charge on the transaction, separately from the purchase instalments that flow into the project escrow account.

The inspection dated 16 January 2026 certified construction at 100 percent, up from 96.04 percent at the previous inspection, and the DLD project status reads Finished. The civil defence certificate was issued on 14 October 2025 and the building completion certificate on 19 December 2025. Inspection history is tracked on the Golf Grand construction updates page.

Dubai Hills Estate L.L.C, DLD developer number 984, is the Emaar Properties entity that develops within the Dubai Hills Estate master community, and it is the name recorded against project 2599 in Dubai Land Department records. Marketing material carries the Emaar name while the registration carries the entity name, so both refer to the same developer group.

Yes, the protection continues. Funds remain in the escrow account and the post-completion retention stays held there to cover defect rectification, regardless of the handover calendar. Escrow safeguards the capital itself and does not compensate for delay; any delay remedy sits in the Sales and Purchase Agreement.

No. Every payment for Golf Grand belongs in the DLD-registered escrow account 0204*****6121 at Emirates NBD (the full number sits in the Escrow Details section above), exactly as recorded in the Sales and Purchase Agreement. A request to send funds to a personal account, an agent's account or an alternative company account, particularly one offering a discount for paying directly, is the standard pattern of payment fraud however convincing the paperwork appears. Any such request should be checked against the escrow account registered in Dubai REST and the details in the Sales and Purchase Agreement before funds are sent.

If the Dubai Land Department cancels a registered project, RERA takes control of the escrow account and buyer refunds are processed from the protected funds under DLD supervision. That mechanism is why payments made outside the registered account carry no protection at all. With construction certified at 100 percent and the project status recorded as Finished, cancellation is not a realistic scenario at Golf Grand, though the safeguard remains in place. The wider framework is explained in the Dubai Land Department guide.

Yes. Two functions remain active after construction is certified. The closing instalment is still paid into the escrow account rather than to the developer, and a retention portion stays held in the account after completion to fund defect rectification. Fraudulent payment requests also tend to increase around handover, when buyers expect final payment instructions to arrive.

Yes, Golf Grand at Dubai Hills Estate is a freehold project, open to all nationalities.
