About Socio

Co-Living Concept in Dubai Hills Estate

Socio is a purpose-built co-living residence in Dubai Hills Estate, developed by Emaar Properties as two towers, each rising ground plus 13 floors plus roof. Completed in January 2023, the project comprises 336 apartments across Socio Tower 1 and Socio Tower 2, built with a concrete structure and finished internally and externally to Emaar's standard specification.

The building targets residents who want independent private units combined with extensive shared social space. Rather than distributing amenities across each floor, Socio dedicates its entire ground floor to communal lounges, retail and dining outlets, a library and a cinema room, an approach distinct from typical residential towers in the Dubai community.

Unit Mix and Apartment Design

Socio offers 1 and 2-bedroom apartments, sized at 42 square metres (approximately 452 sq ft) and 65 square metres (approximately 700 sq ft) respectively. Every unit includes a balcony, and bedrooms open directly onto the living room, a layout choice intended to make compact units feel larger and more flexible.

The interior finish reflects a younger, more colourful aesthetic than Emaar's typical family-oriented product, aimed at investors, entrepreneurs, professionals and creatives seeking a socially oriented living environment rather than a conventional apartment block.

Shared Amenities and Ground Floor

The ground floor functions as a communal lounge for the entire building, giving residents access to a swimming pool, sports facilities, retail and dining outlets, a library and a dedicated cinema room without leaving the property. This model concentrates lifestyle amenities in one accessible zone rather than dispersing them across upper floors.

The design intent is to build a resident community through repeated interaction in these shared spaces, positioning Socio as a social hub within the wider Dubai Hills Estate masterplan rather than a purely residential address.

Dubai Hills Estate Location Advantage

Socio sits within Dubai Hills Estate, a master-planned community often described as a city within a city, anchored by Dubai Hills Mall, Dubai Hills Park and a central boulevard. The tower overlooks this boulevard and sits close to the mall, which houses roughly 750 retail and F&B outlets, a cineplex and a hypermarket.

For buyers evaluating properties for sale in Dubai Hills Estate, Socio represents one of the community's more affordable entry points given its compact unit sizes, while still sitting inside a masterplan that includes schools, healthcare facilities and landscaped parkland.

Location

Connectivity from Dubai Hills Estate

Dubai Hills Estate is positioned in what is often termed 'new Dubai', with Al Khail Road running along its edge providing direct access to Downtown Dubai, Dubai International Airport and the wider Emirates road network. A future metro line has also been planned through the community, subject to change.

Within the masterplan, Socio is positioned near the boulevard and Dubai Hills Mall, placing daily retail, dining and entertainment options within short reach without needing to leave the neighbourhood for routine errands.

Neighbouring Sub-Communities

Socio sits alongside a wide range of established Dubai Hills Estate sub-communities including Park Point, Park Heights, Sidra, Maple, Mulberry, Fairways, Parkway Vistas, Hills Grove, Club Villas and Golf Place, all mapped around the central Dubai Hills Mall and boulevard corridor.

This mix of villa, townhouse and apartment sub-communities gives the wider area a broad demographic base, from families in low-rise villa clusters to younger residents and investors drawn to Socio's co-living format, supporting demand for property for sale in Dubai across different residential segments.
