Hillsedge at Dubai Hills Estate Escrow Account

First Abu Dhabi Bank P.J.S.C. holds the escrow account for Hillsedge, account number 4031*****1259009 (shown in full in the Escrow Details section above), opened under DLD project number 3411 when the project was registered in November 2024.

Hillsedge is marketed by Emaar Properties, and the developer registered against project 3411 is Dubai Hills Estate L.L.C, developer number 984, the entity behind the Dubai Hills Estate masterplan that Emaar developed in partnership with Meraas Holding. A buyer checking the project in Dubai REST will therefore see the registered entity name rather than the marketing brand.

Hillsedge runs on a construction linked plan of 10 percent on booking plus the 4 percent DLD registration fee, 70 percent across seven instalments of 10 percent, and 20 percent on completion. The booking payment and every construction instalment are paid into the escrow account first, and the bank releases funds to the developer only against construction stages certified by inspection. The closing 20 percent falls due on completion, registered for 31 January 2029.

The independent progress monitoring report dated 6 June 2026 certified 25.55 percent completion, up from 14.84 percent at the preceding inspection. Enabling works are complete, substructure, piling and foundation works are at advanced stages, superstructure works are progressing across both buildings, and internal and mechanical works have begun. Month by month detail is tracked on the Hillsedge construction updates page.

Yes, the protection continues. Funds remain in the escrow account and continue to be released only against certified progress, regardless of the calendar. Escrow protects capital while a project completes, but it does not itself compensate for delay; those terms sit in the Sales and Purchase Agreement.

No. Every off-plan payment for Hillsedge must go into the DLD-registered escrow account 4031*****1259009 at First Abu Dhabi Bank (the full number sits in the Escrow Details section above), exactly as recorded in the Sales and Purchase Agreement. Any request to send funds to a personal account, an agent's account, or an alternative company account, especially one paired with a discount for paying directly, is the classic pattern of payment fraud, no matter how official the paperwork looks. Any such request should be checked against the escrow account registered in Dubai REST and the details in the Sales and Purchase Agreement before any 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. This is the reason paying only into the registered account matters: money sent anywhere else sits outside that protection entirely. The wider framework is explained in the Dubai Land Department guide.

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

It depends on the tier. One bedroom apartments at Hillsedge started from AED 1.84 million (approx USD 501,000), which is below the AED 2 million property investment threshold for the 10-year Golden Visa, while two bedroom apartments started from AED 2.69 million (approx USD 733,000) and clear it. The requirements and qualifying routes are covered in the Hillsedge Golden Visa guide.
