Eligibility Snapshot
Parkland at Dubai Hills Estate Golden Visa Facts
Parkland is a 209-apartment freehold tower by Emaar in Dubai Hills Estate, registered with the Dubai Land Department under project number 3139 on 12 July 2024, with construction under way since 2 November 2024 across a 23,252.54 sq m total built-up area and recorded at 50.02% progress at the RERA inspection of 22 June 2026, up from 30.62% at the preceding inspection. The detail that matters for residency planning is where the qualifying line sits inside the price list: 1 bedroom apartments start at AED 1.50M ≈ USD 408K, below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment applied under the UAE Golden Visa program, while 2 bedroom releases from AED 2.80M ≈ USD 762K and 3 bedroom releases from AED 4.00M ≈ USD 1.09M clear it outright, subject to the regulations in force when you apply. Handover is expected in Q4 2028, when Oqood registration converts to a title deed.

Unit by Unit
Which Parkland Apartments Meet the AED 2M Threshold
In a lot of Dubai towers the qualifying line runs awkwardly through the middle of a single typology, so two apartments with the same floor plan land on opposite sides of it. Parkland is cleaner than that: the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K line falls between typologies, not inside one. Every 1 bedroom sits below it and every 2 bedroom sits well above it, which turns the residency question into a floor plan question you can settle before you look at a single availability list.
| Unit Type | Built-Up Area | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | 742 to 884 sq ft (69 to 82 sq m) | AED 1.50M ≈ USD 408K | No |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | 1,227 to 1,380 sq ft (114 to 128 sq m) | AED 2.80M ≈ USD 762K | Yes |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | 1,813 to 1,841 sq ft (168 to 171 sq m) | AED 4.00M ≈ USD 1.09M | Yes |
| The qualifying line at Parkland sits between the 1 and 2 bedroom tiers. Two and three bedroom apartments clear it individually; a single 1 bedroom does not. | |||
Why this matters: eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value, so a 2 bedroom apartment contracted at AED 2.80M ≈ USD 762K sits above the threshold from the moment the Oqood is issued, while a single 1 bedroom at AED 1.50M ≈ USD 408K stays below it at every point in the payment schedule. Buyers whose budget sits at the 1 bedroom level are generally looking at holding more than one qualifying property, which is assessed against the conditions in force at the time of application. Confirm the contract value on your specific unit before applying.
Payment Plan and Timing
When Off-Plan Buyers at Parkland Can Apply
Parkland sells on an 80/20 structure: 10% on booking plus the 4% DLD fee, three further 10% installments dated through August 2025, then five milestone installments of 10%, 10%, 5%, 10% and 5% tied to 20%, 40%, 50%, 70% and 80% construction completion, and a closing 20% at 100% completion in November 2028. Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration, which Emaar completes after booking, together with proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any payment conditions applied by the Dubai Land Department and residency authorities at the time you apply.
My read on the timing: because the back half of this plan is anchored to certified construction rather than to the calendar, paid value at Parkland moves with the tower itself. The 22 June 2026 inspection recorded 50.02%, so the schedule has already reached the 50% milestone installment, and 65% of the purchase price falls due by that point. On a plan built this way a qualifying 2 or 3 bedroom buyer passes the commonly applied paid-value levels long before completion, which leaves a genuine choice rather than a wait. Buyers relocating families or opening UAE bank accounts usually want residency early and apply on the strength of the Oqood-registered contract during construction. Investors with no urgency often prefer the simplest possible file and wait for the title deed at handover in Q4 2028. Because requirements for off-plan applications are updated from time to time, confirm the current paid-value condition before submitting. One caveat worth stating plainly: none of this timing changes the position of a single 1 bedroom purchase, which stays below the threshold no matter how much of the plan has been paid.

Parkland at Dubai Hills Estate Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
Two and three bedroom apartments do. Two bedroom releases start at AED 2.80M ≈ USD 762K and three bedroom releases at AED 4.00M ≈ USD 1.09M, both above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum. One bedroom apartments start at AED 1.50M ≈ USD 408K and sit below the threshold, so a single 1 bedroom does not qualify by itself. The full eligibility criteria are set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide.
Not on its own. At a starting price of AED 1.50M ≈ USD 408K, a single 1 bedroom apartment falls below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum, and eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value rather than on unit size or on how much has been paid so far. Buyers working at that budget level generally look at holding more than one qualifying property, an approach assessed against the rules in force at the time of application.
Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration and proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any paid-value condition applied at the time of application. Buyers who prefer a simpler file can wait for the title deed at handover in Q4 2028. The sequence is explained step by step in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.
The plan is 10% on booking plus the 4% DLD fee, three further 10% installments dated through August 2025, five milestone installments of 10%, 10%, 5%, 10% and 5% tied to 20%, 40%, 50%, 70% and 80% construction completion, and a closing 20% at 100% completion in November 2028. Because 65% of the purchase price falls due by the 50% construction milestone, qualifying buyers usually pass the commonly applied paid-value conditions well before handover.
The RERA inspection dated 22 June 2026 recorded 50.02% certified progress, up from 30.62% at the preceding inspection, on a project registered with the Dubai Land Department under number 3139 and under construction since 2 November 2024. Progress matters to a residency purchase because it drives both the milestone installments and the Q4 2028 handover at which Oqood registration converts to a title deed. Verified inspection data is published on the Parkland construction updates page.
Yes. Parkland is freehold and open to all nationalities, with ownership registered at the Dubai Land Department, which is a requirement for property-based Golden Visa eligibility.

No. For buyers who purchase through this advisory, the VIP application service, covering document preparation, submission, and status follow-up, is included at no charge. Only the official government fees apply, as published by the issuing authorities at the time of application.
No. A qualifying purchase makes you eligible to apply, but approval depends on satisfying all requirements in force at the time of application, including ownership verification and standard background checks. The residency term granted under the program is currently ten years and renewable, as covered in the Golden Visa benefits guide.
