Palace Residences Hillside B by Emaar Properties

Palace Residences Hillside B by Emaar is a branded residential project in Dubai Hills Estate under Palace, Emaar's homegrown hospitality brand. It comprises one residential tower of basement, ground, podium and 18 floors plus five G+1 townhouses, 287 residences in total, with handover scheduled for Q4 2029.

The project is in Dubai Hills Estate, Emaar's 2,700-acre master community in Mohammed Bin Rashid City, bounded by Al Khail Road and Umm Suqeim Street. On Emaar's masterplan the Palace branded plot sits near the community's central junction, between the Dubai Hills Park district and the Dubai Hills Golf Course neighbourhoods, with Dubai Hills Mall, King's College Hospital and GEMS International School inside the same community.

There are four unit types: 1 Bedroom Apartments of approximately 730 - 862 sq ft (68 - 80 sq m), 2 Bedroom Apartments of approximately 1,119 - 1,317 sq ft (104 - 122 sq m), 3 Bedroom Apartments of approximately 1,587 - 1,858 sq ft (147 - 173 sq m) and 3 Bedroom Townhouses of approximately 2,691 - 2,696 sq ft (250 sq m). The apartments are in the tower and the five townhouses are laid out over a lower and an upper level with a private terrace. Emaar's typical layouts include a 1 bedroom with a balcony off the living area, a 2 bedroom with two balconies and a walk-in wardrobe off the main bedroom, and a 3 bedroom with a maid's room with its own bath, a powder room, a laundry and a walk-in wardrobe off the main bedroom.

Prices start from AED 1.96M ≈ USD 534K for a 1 Bedroom Apartment, with 1 bedroom prices running up to AED 2.19M ≈ USD 596K. 2 Bedroom Apartments range from AED 2.89M ≈ USD 787K to AED 3.24M ≈ USD 882K, 3 Bedroom Apartments from AED 4.05M ≈ USD 1.10M to AED 4.43M ≈ USD 1.21M, and 3 Bedroom Townhouses are priced at AED 6.97M ≈ USD 1.90M. These are Emaar's EOI-stage indications: the exact figure depends on floor, view and layout, and launch prices can change as further releases open.

EOI registration for Palace Residences Hillside B is open. The deposit is AED 50,000 ≈ USD 14K for a 1 Bedroom Apartment, AED 75,000 ≈ USD 20K for a 2 Bedroom Apartment, AED 100,000 ≈ USD 27K for a 3 Bedroom Apartment and AED 150,000 ≈ USD 41K for a 3 Bedroom Townhouse, with AED 500,000 ≈ USD 136K for a half floor or bulk EOI and AED 1,000,000 ≈ USD 272K for a full floor. It is paid into a dedicated EOI receipts account in the developer's name and is refundable in one case only: if Emaar has not accepted the offer by 30 November 2026, or rejects it, the deposit is returned to the paying bank account in AED, without interest and less bank charges. If the offer is accepted, the deposit is applied to the first instalment; if the buyer then does not sign the sale agreement within 10 days of being invited, or does not pay the balance of the first instalment on time, Emaar may cancel the EOI and keep the deposit. Registration requires passport details (or a company licence), contact details and the bank details of the account paying the deposit.

Handover is scheduled for Q4 2029. The project is at its launch stage, so buyers entering now hold through the full build programme. Dated progress against RERA inspection data is recorded in the Palace Residences Hillside B construction updates guide.

Emaar's amenity programme for the development includes a resort-style pool, an adult pool, a kids pool, an outdoor gym, a padel court, a MUGA court, a kids play area, a BBQ area, a ping pong table, cabanas and swings, plus lush lawns, scenic pathways, jogging tracks and fitness stations. Dubai Hills Estate adds a championship golf course and Dubai Hills Park.

Yes, Palace Residences Hillside B by Emaar is a freehold property, open to all nationalities.

The property route to the 10 year UAE Golden Visa requires an investment of at least AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. At Palace Residences Hillside B, every 2 Bedroom Apartment (from AED 2.89M), 3 Bedroom Apartment (from AED 4.05M) and 3 Bedroom Townhouse (AED 6.97M) is priced above that threshold. 1 Bedroom Apartments are priced from AED 1.96M to AED 2.19M, so the threshold falls inside the range: selected 1 bedroom units priced at AED 2M or more meet it on their own, while those below AED 2M do not. Approval rests with the UAE authorities, and the Palace Residences Hillside B Golden Visa guide covers the eligibility steps in detail.

Yes. The full process, from the EOI and unit selection to SPA signing and Oqood registration, can be completed remotely, and I manage it end to end with Emaar on your behalf. Each stage of a remote purchase is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.

Once the sale agreement is signed, off plan payments for Palace Residences Hillside B are made into the project's DLD-registered escrow account with First Abu Dhabi Bank and released to the developer only against verified construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. The Palace Residences Hillside B escrow account guide explains how the account works, including how the EOI deposit, which is paid into a separate EOI receipts account in the developer's name, becomes part of the first instalment.

Palace Residences Hillside B follows Emaar's 80/20 payment plan: 10% of the price on booking, 70% during construction and 20% on completion, with handover scheduled for Q4 2029. Beyond the unit price, buyers pay the 4% DLD registration fee to the Dubai Land Department at the booking step, alongside the 10%. At EOI stage the only payment is the EOI deposit, from AED 50K ≈ USD 14K for a 1 bedroom to AED 150K ≈ USD 41K for a townhouse, which is credited towards the 10% booking payment if Emaar accepts the offer, with the balance of that 10% and the DLD fee paid on signing the sale agreement. Emaar's schedule sets how the 70% is divided during construction.
