Overview

Project brief

TWIN-TOWER APARTMENTS ON DUBAI HILLS BOULEVARD, NOW COMPLETE

Collective 2.0 is a two-tower residential development by Emaar within Dubai Hills Estate, the master-planned community built around an 18-hole championship golf course, Dubai Hills Mall and Dubai Hills Park, positioned between Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina via Al Khail Road. The development sits on Dubai Hills Boulevard, alongside Rove Hotel and the Dubai Hills Business Park, minutes from the Park and Mall.

The Emaar brochure and floor plans cover 1 and 2-bedroom apartments across Tower A and Tower B. Per the Emaar floor plans, 1-bedroom homes total 475.76 to 596.00 square feet and 2-bedroom homes 723.34 to 938.51 square feet, in each case suite area plus balcony; the upper figures are the corner layouts with extended balconies. Emaar does not publish a project unit total in the pack held — the 494-unit figure and the 17 / 19-storey split are PropSearch. The scheme follows the original Collective, and is positioned as compact, social, entry-level stock aimed at younger residents, with shared amenities including a gym, library, pool, cinema room, games area and indoor and outdoor lounge space. Homes are arranged with open-plan living and balconies facing the Downtown Dubai skyline and the boulevard.

Construction ran from January 2019 to completion in March 2022. The building is delivered and occupied; primary sales have closed, and homes now change hands on the secondary market rather than on a developer payment plan.

THE INVESTMENT CASE

Collective 2.0 is a completed, standard-tier brief: the angle below is qualitative. Where the live Dubai Land Department transaction feed for Dubai Hills Estate is available, current pricing and PSF trends will be shown alongside — those figures are the basis for any comparison, not the notes below.

DEVELOPER: EMAAR, ONE OF DUBAI'S MOST ESTABLISHED DEVELOPERS

Collective 2.0 is developed by Emaar, the developer behind many of Dubai's landmark destinations and the master-developer of Dubai Hills Estate. Emaar reported revenue of AED 49.6 billion for 2025 and, with a proven delivery track record, has delivered over 125,600 residential units across Dubai and other global markets since 2002. Its portfolio includes Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall. For a completed asset, Emaar's role as master-developer and community manager also underpins the ongoing upkeep and amenity of Dubai Hills Estate.

LOCATION: ON DUBAI HILLS BOULEVARD, WITHIN A GOLF-COURSE COMMUNITY

Collective 2.0 sits on Dubai Hills Boulevard in the heart of Dubai Hills Estate, next to Rove Hotel and the Business Park. Dubai Hills Park and Dubai Hills Mall — with over 650 retail and dining outlets — are within walking distance, and Al Khail Road gives direct access towards Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina. The setting combines a green, amenity-rich master community with a central, connected position in the city.

APPLICABLE STRATEGIES

Buy-and-hold for rental — a delivered, income-producing building; compact 1 and 2-bedroom layouts and social amenities suit a younger tenant profile drawn to the Boulevard, Park and Mall. Rental yields to be confirmed against current evidence.
Secondary-market resale — completed stock in an established Dubai Hills Estate location, with liquidity through the DLD secondary market. Any premium or discount depends on market conditions and should be checked against live DLD data.
Owner-occupation — a first home or city pied-à-terre within walking distance of the Park, Mall and Boulevard.

RISKS & WATCHPOINTS

Completed asset, secondary pricing — there is no developer launch list; value is set by the secondary market and should be verified on current PSF from live DLD data.
Compact layouts — Collective 2.0 targets smaller, entry-level apartments, which appeal to a specific tenant and buyer profile; layout and size should be matched to the intended strategy.
Service charges — as with any apartment building, service charges affect net yield and should be confirmed.
Supply — Dubai Hills Estate has a substantial apartment pipeline; concurrent stock can affect near-term rental and resale pricing.

PAYMENT PLAN

Not applicable. Collective 2.0 completed in March 2022; there is no developer construction-linked payment plan. Purchases are secondary-market transactions, settled by cash or mortgage, with terms agreed between buyer and seller.

Method & questions

HOW TO READ THIS PAGE

Two different things sit on this page: transaction evidence taken from the Dubai Land Department’s public register, and the mechanics of buying in Dubai. The four notes below explain how the figures were built and what they can fairly be used for.

Registered, not askedEvery Dubai Land Department figure on this page comes from a sale that completed and was entered on the public register. Asking prices, portal listings and developer price lists are excluded: they record what someone hoped for, not what was paid.
Medians, not averagesProject samples are often thin, and a single penthouse or one bulk-discounted floor will pull an average a long way off. The median — the middle transaction — describes the typical unit far more reliably at these sample sizes. The count behind each figure is always shown so you can judge how much weight it deserves.
Sales only“Sales” means arm’s-length sales. Intra-family and other “Gift” transfers are excluded, as are rows registered at zero or nominal consideration, because neither is evidence of a market price.
A dated snapshotThese are a snapshot at the date stated beside them, taken from one extract of the register rather than queried live. A figure for this project quoted elsewhere, or taken from a different extract, may not match what you see here.

Common questions

What does buying off-plan at Collective 2.0 involve?

Off-plan means contracting with the developer before the building is finished. In outline: you reserve the unit, sign the developer’s Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA), and pay in instalments tied to construction milestones rather than in a single sum at the start.

Buyer payments on an off-plan sale in Dubai are made into a project escrow account regulated under Dubai Law No. 8 of 2007, and are released to the developer against verified construction progress. The developer registers the sale with the Dubai Land Department. The contract is between you and Emaar; we act as broker, not as principal.

What is the 4% DLD transfer fee, and who pays it?

The Dubai Land Department charges a property registration (transfer) fee of 4% of the price recorded on the contract, plus a fixed administrative charge. That is the rate in force as at July 2026. The statutory position splits the fee between buyer and seller; established market practice in Dubai is that the buyer pays the whole 4%.

Developers sometimes offer to absorb part or all of it on off-plan sales. Treat that as real only where it is written into the sale documents, not where it appears in marketing. Budget separately for the registration trustee charge, the Oqood registration fee on off-plan units, and — if you are borrowing — mortgage registration at 0.25% of the loan amount.

What is an Oqood registration, and is it the same as a title deed?

No. Oqood is the Dubai Land Department’s registration system for property that is not yet complete. When you buy off-plan, the developer lodges the SPA through Oqood, your interest is recorded on the interim property register, and you receive an initial registration certificate.

The title deed is a separate and later document, issued once the project is complete and the unit is formally transferred into your name. An off-plan purchase that is never registered leaves you off that interim register, so ask for evidence of Oqood registration once your first payment has cleared.

Can a non-UAE buyer own a unit outright?

In Dubai’s designated freehold areas, yes. Regulation No. 3 of 2006 sets out the areas in which non-UAE nationals may hold freehold title or a long lease; outside those areas ownership is restricted to UAE and GCC nationals. Ownership does not depend on holding UAE residency, and no local partner is required.

Tenure attaches to the plot rather than to a development’s marketing, so confirm what is recorded against the specific unit — freehold or leasehold, and the remaining term if leasehold — before you sign.

What happens at handover?

Once the building is complete and the completion certificate issued, you are called for handover: you inspect the unit (the snagging inspection), the developer addresses the defects listed, you settle the final instalment and any outstanding fees, and the unit is transferred into your name with a title deed issued.

Annual service charges begin at handover. They are levied per square foot at a rate approved by the regulator, so they are a recurring cost rather than a one-off. If you intend to let the unit, allow for the interval between handover and the first tenancy — a vacant unit earns nothing, and gross yield is annual rent measured against the purchase price, before those costs are taken off. Emaar gives completion for Collective 2.0 as Mar 2022; off-plan completion dates can move, and the SPA governs the position.

Where do the Dubai Land Department figures on this page come from?

They are drawn from the Dubai Land Department’s public transaction register — sales actually registered against Collective 2.0, rather than asking prices, portal listings or developer price lists. They are a dated extract of the register, not a live query: the extract date is printed with the figures, and everything on this page is calculated from that single extract.

The number of sales behind every figure is shown alongside it. A median drawn from a handful of registrations carries far less weight than one drawn from several hundred, and should be read that way.

Who is Mitchell’s Realty, and how are you paid?

Mitchell’s Realty is the trading brand. The RERA-licensed brokerage behind it is The Luxury Real Estate Brokers LLC.

On developer off-plan sales the commission is paid by the developer. On resale transactions the brokerage fee is agreed with you in writing before terms are signed. We will confirm how we are paid on any specific transaction before you commit to it.

Please note. The above is general information about how transactions work in Dubai, not legal, tax or financial advice, and it is not a recommendation to buy. Fee rates, tenure rules and residency requirements change, and your own position may differ. Take your own independent legal and tax advice before you commit to a purchase.
