Off-planQ4 2028
Emaar Properties · Dubai Hills Estate
Golf Hillside is a 20-storey residential tower within Dubai Hills Estate, Emaar's flagship master community positioned between Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina along Al Khail Road. The project comprises 185 apartments — a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom units — each oriented to maximise direct views over the Dubai Hills Golf Course and adjacent villa communities. With a project completion target of Q4 2028 and construction at roughly 24% as of late 2024, buyers are acquiring at an early stage in one of Dubai's most established green-belt communities.
The tower follows a basement, ground, podium, and 20 upper-floor configuration, housing 180 residential units across a single building. Apartments are designed around natural light: floor plans prioritise wide balconies that open directly onto fairway views, and internal layouts are configured to separate living and sleeping zones across all bedroom categories. The design brief places liveability ahead of visual spectacle — ceiling heights, window proportions, and storage allocations reflect deliberate planning rather than cosmetic decisions.
Emaar's in-house design teams have specified finishes aligned with the developer's premium residential tier. Kitchens and bathrooms carry specifications consistent with Emaar's recent Dubai Hills Estate launches, and each unit includes a private balcony as standard.
Golf Hillside is targeting both Gold LEED certification and Al Safat certification — Dubai's own green building rating system administered by Dubai Municipality. The building incorporates energy-efficient LED lighting throughout common areas and individual units, sustainable construction materials, and water-saving systems designed to reduce consumption over the building's operational life. These measures translate into lower long-term utility costs for residents and owners, a tangible financial consideration beyond the environmental rationale.
The Al Safat framework requires compliance across energy, water, indoor environment, and site categories, meaning Golf Hillside's sustainability commitments are independently verified rather than self-declared.
The podium level at Golf Hillside delivers a curated set of recreational facilities without replicating the sprawl of a resort. Residents have access to both indoor and outdoor gyms, adult and children's swimming pools, a MUGA (Multi-Use Games Area) court, dedicated children's play areas, a barbecue area, and a multi-purpose room. The configuration suits a working residential population — practical, well-maintained facilities rather than amenity theatre designed primarily for marketing imagery.
Dubai Hills Estate has consistently ranked among Dubai's top-performing master communities for off-plan transaction volumes and secondary market price growth. The community's controlled land supply, Emaar's active estate management, and the presence of the golf course as a fixed green asset create conditions that support long-term capital preservation. Off-plan projects in Dubai Hills Estate from Emaar carry the additional assurance of escrow regulation under the Dubai Land Department, with Golf Hillside's escrow held at Mashreq Bank.
With handover scheduled for Q4 2028 and construction under way since October 2024, Golf Hillside sits at a point in its project cycle where buyers can still access pre-completion pricing while having a defined delivery timeline anchored to a DLD-registered end date.
Golf Hillside sits within Dubai Hills Estate, which fronts Al Khail Road — one of Dubai's primary arterial routes. Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina are each approximately 10 minutes by car, Dubai International Airport is around 15 minutes, and Al Maktoum International Airport is roughly 25 minutes. The community is part of Mohammed Bin Rashid City, placing it equidistant between Dubai's two primary urban cores.
Dubai Hills Mall — located at the junction of Umm Suqeim Road and Al Khail Road — provides over 650 retail and dining outlets within the master community. Dubai Hills Golf Club's 1.2-million-sqm course is directly adjacent to the tower, offering 18 holes with views toward Burj Khalifa. Dubai Hills Park, in the community's southern district, includes wadi trails, a splash park, outdoor gym, and sports courts. Schools and healthcare facilities are embedded within the broader Dubai Hills Estate master plan.

The project is targeting Gold LEED certification and Al Safat certification — Dubai Municipality's green building rating system. Both are independently verified standards covering energy efficiency, water conservation, materials, and indoor environment quality.
Dubai Hills Estate uses district cooling. Individual buildings, including Golf Hillside, are typically connected to a centralised district cooling network rather than individual chiller units. Cooling charges are generally billed separately from service charges. Buyers should confirm the specific cooling arrangement and DEWA connectivity details with Emaar prior to purchase.
On-site amenities include indoor and outdoor gyms, adult and children's swimming pools, a MUGA (Multi-Use Games Area) court, children's play areas, a barbecue area, and a multi-purpose room — all located on the podium level.
Golf Hillside is positioned within Dubai Hills Estate adjacent to the Dubai Hills Golf Club, a 1.2-million-sqm 18-hole course. The broader community sits along Al Khail Road, approximately 10 minutes from both Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina by car.
The project escrow account is held at Mashreq Bank, as registered with the Dubai Land Department. Payments made by buyers under the off-plan payment plan are deposited into this regulated escrow account in accordance with Dubai's Escrow Law (Law No. 8 of 2007).
