Hillsedge at Dubai Hills Estate by Emaar Properties

Hillsedge is a residential development by Emaar Properties in Dubai Hills Estate, made up of Tower A, Tower B and a low rise Park Apartments block sharing one landscaped Level 01 amenity deck. It offers 406 one and two bedroom apartments arranged around Hillside Park, and handover is scheduled for Q1 2029.

Hillsedge occupies a central plot inside Dubai Hills Estate, directly beside Hillside Park, with King's College Hospital a five minute walk away and Dubai Hills Business Park a five minute drive. Access in and out of the community is via Al Khail Road. The full community layout is set out in my Dubai Hills Estate community guide.

Hillsedge offers one bedroom apartments of approximately 708 to 779 sq ft (66 to 72 sq m) and two bedroom apartments of approximately 1,095 to 1,352 sq ft (102 to 126 sq m). All figures are total areas including balconies. The unit mix across the development is 204 one bedroom and 202 two bedroom apartments.

One bedroom apartments start from AED 1.84M ≈ USD 501K and two bedroom apartments from AED 2.69M ≈ USD 733K. Final pricing depends on floor, layout, balcony size and orientation.

Handover is scheduled for Q1 2029, with the closing payment instalment falling due on completion in January 2029. The project is under construction, and site progress against RERA inspection data is tracked month by month in the Hillsedge construction updates guide.

Emaar offers an 80/20 construction linked plan: 10 percent on booking plus the 4 percent DLD registration fee, 70 percent across seven instalments of 10 percent tied to construction milestones between February 2025 and January 2028, and the closing 20 percent payable on completion in January 2029. Because the schedule opened in December 2024, a purchase today settles the instalments already invoiced against that unit at the point of booking.

Residents have adult and kids swimming pools, a speciality fitness centre, a double height residents lounge, multi level kids play areas, sports courts and jogging tracks, a yoga deck and parkour area, mini golf with a skate and pump track, an outdoor cinema and amphitheatre, and picnic and barbecue areas across the landscaped podium. The adjoining Hillside Park adds four dedicated zones for zen spaces, leisure, energy and fitness, and the wider community brings Dubai Hills Golf Club, Dubai Hills Park and Dubai Hills Mall.

The property investment threshold for the 10 year UAE Golden Visa is AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. Two bedroom apartments at Hillsedge start at AED 2.69M ≈ USD 733K and therefore clear that threshold, while one bedroom apartments start at AED 1.84M and fall below it, so they do not qualify on their own. The eligibility steps are set out in the Hillsedge Golden Visa guide.

Yes. Hillsedge is a freehold development, so buyers of any nationality can own the apartment outright, whether or not they are UAE residents, with no restriction on resale.

Yes. Reservation, the sales and purchase agreement, and Oqood registration with the Dubai Land Department can all be completed remotely, and I manage the sequence end to end with Emaar on your behalf. Each stage is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.

Every off plan instalment is paid into the project's DLD-registered escrow account and released to Emaar only against verified construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. The mechanics are explained in the Hillsedge escrow account guide.

Off plan mortgage options for non-residents are limited, so most buyers run Emaar's construction linked payment plan through to completion. Financing widens at handover, when a completed and titled apartment qualifies for the standard UAE mortgage products available to non-resident buyers.
