Hillmont Residences by Ellington

Hillmont Residences is a residential building by Ellington in Jumeirah Village Circle, Dubai, planned as 144 studio, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments on 12 residential floors above a ground-floor lobby with retail and F&B units and podium levels. The project is under construction and sold off-plan on a 70/30 payment plan, with handover expected in Q4 2026.

Hillmont Residences is in Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), Dubai, close to Al Khail Road on the community's northern edge, with Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Hessa Street also within reach. Per the developer's location guide, Circle Mall is about 7 minutes' drive, Dubai Hills Mall about 12, Mall of the Emirates about 19, Dubai Marina about 21, The Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa about 22, and Dubai International Airport about 30.

Studio apartments start from AED 750K ≈ USD 204K (450 to 452 sq ft, 42 sq m); 1 bedroom apartments from AED 1.21M ≈ USD 330K (769 to 881 sq ft, 71 to 82 sq m); 2 bedroom apartments from AED 1.85M ≈ USD 504K (1,106 to 1,295 sq ft, 103 to 120 sq m); and 3 bedroom apartments from AED 3.20M ≈ USD 871K (1,805 to 1,864 sq ft, 168 to 173 sq m). Per the developer, studio, 1 and 2 bedroom apartments come with one parking space and 3 bedroom apartments with two. The final price of a unit varies with its floor, orientation and layout.

The developer's amenity plan includes a leisure and lounge pool, a wading pool, a sun loungers area and shower deck, a kids' pool and deck, indoor and outdoor kids' play areas, an outdoor lounge, a club lounge residents can book for private events, a phone booth and co-working corner, a fitness studio with Pilates machines, punching bags and yoga equipment, male and female change rooms with sauna, and a multi-purpose lawn. The ground floor adds a lobby lounge and reception, retail and F&B units, outdoor seating, EV charging, bicycle parking and parking for people of determination.

Per Ellington's materials and finishes schedule, apartments have porcelain tile flooring, contemporary kitchen cabinetry with Dekton countertops and a waterfall edge, European-brand appliances (gas cooktop, combination fridge-freezer, hidden exhaust hood, integrated electric oven, dishwasher and microwave) and under-cabinet LED lighting. Bathrooms have quartz countertops, framed glass shower partitions and mirror cabinets with concealed lighting, bedrooms have full-length wardrobes with an integrated mirror, and each layout includes space for a washer and dryer. Furniture is not part of the specification; interior images are illustrative renderings.

Handover at Hillmont Residences is expected in Q4 2026. The building is under construction, so buyers should confirm the current construction and handover timetable with the developer in writing before committing. Dated inspection records are tracked in the Hillmont Residences construction updates guide.

The developer's plan collects 70% during construction and 30% on completion. Buyers pay 20% at booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, then 10% at 60 days, 10% at 120 days, 5% at 240 days and 5% at 360 days after the reservation date. Four further 5% instalments are linked to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th construction milestones, and the final 30% is due on completion. Because the milestone instalments follow site progress, the amount due at signing depends on the stage reached and the developer's current terms.

The main one-off cost is the 4% DLD registration fee, paid to the Dubai Land Department alongside the booking instalment. For running costs, the developer gives an anticipated service charge of AED 16 per sq ft, an estimate that the building's final service charge budget can revise. Parking is allocated with the apartment: one space for studio, 1 and 2 bedroom apartments and two spaces for 3 bedroom apartments.

Yes. Hillmont Residences is freehold, open to all nationalities, so international buyers can own an apartment outright in their own name. The off-plan purchase is registered with the Dubai Land Department, and the title deed is issued after completion.

The 10-year UAE Golden Visa for property investors requires property worth at least AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. At Hillmont Residences, the 3 bedroom apartments start from AED 3.20M ≈ USD 871K, above that threshold, while the studio, 1 and 2 bedroom apartments, from AED 750K, AED 1.21M and AED 1.85M, do not reach it on their own starting price. Approval rests with the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) under its current rules. The Hillmont Residences Golden Visa guide explains eligibility in detail.

Off-plan payments are made into the project's DLD-registered escrow account with Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB) and released to the developer against construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. The Hillmont Residences escrow account guide explains how the account works.

Yes. Reservation, SPA signing and DLD registration can all be completed remotely, and I manage the process end to end with the developer on the buyer's behalf. Each stage of a remote purchase is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.
