Palace Residences Hillside B Construction Progress Summary
December 2025 opens the Palace Residences Hillside B record rather than extending it, so there is no gain to report and no pace to measure. What the register fixes instead is the project's frame: DLD project 4280 is listed Active, registered on 15 December 2025, with a registered construction start of 3 February 2026 and a registered completion date of 31 October 2029.
- First RERA inspection logged on 9 December 2025
- DLD project 4280 listed with Active status
- Project registration dated 15 December 2025
- No construction activity started at site at the inspection
- RERA progress status shown as N/A on the inspection report
- Scope on record: one tower of basement, ground, podium and 18 floors plus five G+1 townhouses
- Registered construction start of 3 February 2026
- The full build of the tower and the five townhouses, from enabling works upward
- Handover in Q4 2029, against the registered completion date of 31 October 2029
Payment Linked Progress
What 0% Progress Means for Palace Residences Hillside B Buyers
Palace Residences Hillside B is sold on Emaar's 80/20 payment plan: 10% + 4% DLD on booking, 70% during construction and 20% on completion. With the register at 0% and no structure yet to inspect, protection at this stage is documentary, and four actions matter most.
Verify the escrow account
Every payment beyond the EOI should go only to the DLD regulated escrow account registered for project 4280, held with First Abu Dhabi Bank. Palace Residences Hillside B escrow account verification is the step before any transfer; the lookup itself takes about two minutes against the official DLD project record.
Read the SPA schedule closely
Check how your sale and purchase agreement divides the 70% construction share into instalments and whether each falls due by date or by progress, and how it defines the 20% completion payment and the handover notice period against Q4 2029. Not sure how your instalments will map to the register readings? Send me your SPA schedule and I will map it against the recorded milestones.
Confirm your Oqood registration
With nothing yet built, Oqood registration at the Dubai Land Department is the record that ties your residence to project 4280, so confirm it is issued in your name once the booking completes.
Track the readings from zero
Each later inspection shows how far the building has moved from the December 2025 baseline. Palace Residences Hillside B construction updates hub collects every dated reading in one place.
General framework, not legal advice: milestone definitions, notice periods, and fee obligations are set by your individual SPA and the DLD record, and both should be read directly.
Buying at the 0% Baseline?
Entering before site works begin trades certainty for runway: nothing is built yet, the full schedule is still ahead, and early registrations usually see the widest choice of floors and layouts. The EOI deposit is held first in the developer's separate EOI receipts account and is applied towards the 10% booking instalment; once the sale agreement is signed, every payment goes to the DLD-registered escrow account for project 4280, released against inspected construction progress.
- No construction activity recorded at the 9 December 2025 inspection
- Handover scheduled for Q4 2029, the longest runway to keys
- 10% + 4% DLD on booking, with the EOI deposit from AED 50K ≈ USD 14K credited towards it
- Structure visible and inspected before you commit
- A shorter wait to handover, often a year or less
- Narrower choice of floors, views and layouts
EOI registration is open, with deposits of AED 50K ≈ USD 14K for a 1 bedroom, AED 75K ≈ USD 20K for a 2 bedroom, AED 100K ≈ USD 27K for a 3 bedroom and AED 150K ≈ USD 41K for a 3 bedroom townhouse. The deposit is returned, without interest and less bank charges, only if Emaar has not accepted the offer by 30 November 2026 or rejects it; it is forfeited if an accepted buyer does not sign within 10 days of the invitation or pay the first instalment balance on time. Availability shifts between release cycles.
About the Development
Palace Residences Hillside B Project Details
At a 0% reading with no site works started, Palace Residences Hillside B is a pre-construction Emaar project of 287 Palace branded residences: one tower of basement, ground, podium and 18 floors, plus five G+1 townhouses. Starting prices: AED 1.96M ≈ USD 534K.
Buying at this point means the longest wait for keys and the first pick of units, against a building that so far exists only in drawings, with handover scheduled for Q4 2029.
Palace Residences Hillside B by Emaar Project GuideSite Context This Cycle
Explore Palace Residences Hillside B Location on Dubai Map
Palace Residences Hillside B sits on Emaar's Palace branded plot near the central junction of Dubai Hills Estate off Al Khail Road, between the apartment district around Dubai Hills Park and the golf course neighbourhoods. Because the site showed no construction activity on 9 December 2025, this cycle marks the starting line for a build that will rise inside a lived-in, landscaped community rather than on open ground at the edge of the city.
The district around the plot is already complete: Dubai Hills Mall, Dubai Hills Park, the championship golf course, schools and King's College Hospital all operate today, and Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina are each about 10 minutes by car. A buyer entering at 0% is therefore waiting on one building, not on a neighbourhood. See the project’s position on the interactive Dubai real estate map.

Palace Residences Hillside B Construction Progress in December 2025: Frequently Asked Questions
The DLD project register recorded 0% for Palace Residences Hillside B, project 4280, at the inspection dated 9 December 2025. It is the first reading on record for the project, so there is no earlier figure to compare it with and no measured pace yet.
No. Handover remains Q4 2029, and the DLD register lists a registered completion date of 31 October 2029, which falls inside that quarter. A single 0% reading at the start of a build says nothing about delay or early delivery; registered completion dates can be revised between cycles, and any revision would appear in a later update. How readings and completion dates are tracked over the full build is covered on the Palace Residences Hillside B construction updates hub.
The inspection report for 9 December 2025 notes that no construction activity had started at site and shows the RERA progress status as N/A. It describes the project as one residential tower of basement, ground, podium and 18 floors plus five G+1 townhouses, lists DUBAI HILLS ESTATE L.L.C as the registered developer and First Abu Dhabi Bank as the trust account bank.
The DLD register records the inspection on 9 December 2025, the project registration on 15 December 2025 and a construction start of 3 February 2026. Each date is reproduced here exactly as recorded, and the December 2025 reading of 0% serves as the pre-start baseline for every later inspection.
It means the whole build still lay ahead when the reading was taken. Under Emaar's 80/20 plan for the building, 10% + 4% DLD is paid on booking, 70% during construction and 20% on completion, with the SPA setting how the 70% is divided, so the useful checks at this stage are documentary rather than physical: the escrow account for project 4280, the SPA terms once issued and Oqood registration, since there is no structure yet to judge.
The register gives no date for the next inspection. New readings enter the DLD project register after later RERA site visits, so the December 2025 figure should be treated as dated evidence and checked against the current Dubai REST record for project 4280 before any payment decision.
