This is a two-bedroom corner apartment in Hillsedge - Tower B, a new development by Emaar within Dubai Hills Estate. The property offers a total area of 1,139 sq.ft and features a full park view with a balcony, positioned between the 7th and 12th floors. The current asking price is AED 2,660,000, which is 13.6% below the original price of AED 3,077,244. This equates to AED 2,335 per square foot, offering a notable discount compared to recent transaction data in the project. The handover is scheduled for January 2029, providing a clear timeline for investors seeking mid-term capital appreciation or rental yield. The payment structure includes AED 1,052,218 due on transfer, with the remaining AED 1,775,332 payable according to the developer’s plan, bringing the total buyer cost to AED 2,827,550 including fees. The immediate investment thesis centres on acquiring a well-located, park-facing unit in a sought-after Emaar community at a significant discount to launch and recent resale prices, with flexible payment terms and a handover horizon that aligns with Dubai’s ongoing growth trajectory.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
OVERVIEW
LOCATION & TRANSPORT
Dubai Hills Estate is strategically positioned within Mohammed Bin Rashid City, offering direct access to key arterial roads such as Al Khail Road and Umm Suqeim Street. This location ensures convenient connectivity to Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, and Dubai International Airport, all reachable within 20-25 minutes by car. The community is designed with walkability in mind, featuring landscaped boulevards and cycling tracks. Public transport options are expanding, with bus routes and future metro connectivity planned as part of Dubai’s wider infrastructure upgrades. Residents benefit from proximity to major business districts, educational institutions, and healthcare facilities, making the area attractive to both end-users and tenants seeking a balanced urban lifestyle.
AMENITIES & SURROUNDING
Hillsedge is conceived as a community-focused development, with a comprehensive suite of amenities designed to support recreation, wellness, and family living. Residents have access to an amphitheatre, children’s play areas, a dedicated children’s swimming pool, and a main swimming pool. Fitness and leisure options include a gym, jogging track, sports courts, skate park, and a putting green. The project also features an outdoor cinema and a selection of dining outlets, enhancing the lifestyle offering. The wider Dubai Hills Estate masterplan includes a championship golf course, Dubai Hills Mall, parks, schools, nurseries, and healthcare centres, all within a short distance. The integration of green spaces and pedestrian-friendly design underpins the area’s appeal for those prioritising well-being and community engagement.
MARKET
Dubai Hills Estate has established itself as one of the city’s most sought-after residential addresses, with Emaar’s reputation for quality and master-planned communities supporting sustained demand. Recent sales in Hillsedge indicate transaction prices for two-bedroom units in the range of AED 2,395 per sq.ft, with some one-bedroom units transacting above AED 2,500 per sq.ft. The offered unit’s price per square foot is competitive, especially considering its park view and corner positioning. The area attracts a diverse buyer profile, including families, professionals, and investors seeking stable rental yields and long-term capital growth. Liquidity in Dubai Hills Estate remains robust, supported by ongoing infrastructure improvements and the area’s established reputation. Key risk points include the off-plan nature of the asset, with handover in 2029, and the potential for market fluctuations over the construction period. However, the payment plan structure and the current discount to original price provide a buffer against short-term volatility.
CONCLUSION
For investors seeking a well-located asset in a proven Emaar community, this two-bedroom apartment in Hillsedge - Tower B presents a compelling case. The combination of a substantial discount to original and recent transaction prices, a flexible payment plan, and a park-facing layout enhances both the exit and rental potential. While the off-plan status introduces some timing risk, the project’s progress and Emaar’s track record mitigate delivery concerns. The area’s connectivity, amenity offering, and tenant appeal support the investment thesis, positioning this deal as a balanced opportunity for those looking to capitalise on Dubai’s ongoing residential demand and the specific advantages of Dubai Hills Estate. The fundamentals here are notably aligned for medium-term value creation.

Method
- Handover
- The date the unit is handed over, set in quarters from purchase. Gross rent, the vacancy allowance, maintenance and management, and the service charge all start there and not before — an unbuilt unit cannot be let and is not billed. The year handover falls in gets the exact fraction it is entitled to, not a rounded whole year. Capital growth is not treated this way: it compounds from today across the whole hold, because an off-plan unit can be sold before it completes. Where the holding period ends before handover, there is no operating income anywhere in the schedule and the whole return is capital movement less costs.
- Gross yield
- Gross annual rent ÷ purchase price. Before every cost. Where handover is in the future this is a stabilised full year from handover — a rate on the price, not a figure reduced by the construction period. The schedule shows what each year actually books.
- Net yield
- (Rent collected after the vacancy allowance − maintenance and management − service charge) ÷ purchase price. Stabilised on the same basis as the gross yield.
- Rent growth
- Compound annual movement in gross rent, applied from handover and stepping at each anniversary of it, which is when a tenancy renews. It may be negative. It does not touch the service charge, which is held flat in nominal terms.
- ROI
- Total profit over the whole hold ÷ total cash invested (price + all acquisition costs). Unlevered. Not an annual rate.
- ROE
- Total profit over the whole hold ÷ equity contributed (deposit + all acquisition and finance costs), after debt service. Levered. Not an annual rate.
- Cash-on-cash return
- Year-one operating cash flow, after debt service where there is a mortgage, ÷ cash invested. Reported separately from ROI/ROE and never merged with it. Year one means the first year of the schedule as it stands: where that year falls before handover it carries no rent, so on a mortgaged off-plan purchase the figure is negative — that is the year you fund out of pocket, and it is shown rather than smoothed away.
- IRR
- The annualised rate that discounts the dated cash-flow schedule above to a net present value of zero, solved numerically. Where the schedule has no sign change, or the solver does not converge on a single meaningful rate, we print “—” rather than substitute a simpler annualised-return figure.

Rents, service charges, fees, vacancy, handover dates, financing terms and sale prices vary by unit and over time; past prices are not a guide to future prices. Returns are not guaranteed and capital is at risk.
