Studios to four-bedroom duplexes at The Hillgate, Dubai Silicon Oasis
The Hillgate at Dubai Silicon Oasis is a two-tower residential project by Ellington Properties. Ellington's two tower totals and the Dubai Land Department register both come to 356 units, from studios up to a four-bedroom duplex. Tower A rises 16 residential floors and Tower B 13, each under a rooftop. Ellington states the ownership as freehold and gives an anticipated service charge of AED 16 per sq ft. The payment plan is 70/30, with the instalments tied to the reservation date and to construction stages.
Amenities. Ellington's first-floor amenities plan, drawn across both towers, puts the lap pool, the leisure pool, the clubhouse, the fitness and yoga studios, the music room, the arcade room and the kids' areas on one level. Each tower has its own lobby on the ground floor.
Parking. Every unit comes with parking. Studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments have one space. Three and four-bedroom apartments have two.
Sizes. Each layout's floor plan gives the internal living area, the outdoor living area and the total.
Kitchens. Ellington's finishes schedule lists a gas cooktop, a combination fridge-freezer and appliances from European brands for the apartments.
Nearby
The Hillgate is in Dubai Silicon Oasis. Ellington's brochure places the project steps from Silicon Central Mall and from the community's central park. It names Global Village, Dubai Miracle Garden, Dubai Autodrome and Downtown Dubai as a short drive away.
Ellington's location map marks the roads around the site: Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (E311), the Al Ain–Dubai Road (E66) and Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Road (D54). Its close-up view marks Silicon Central Mall, an international school, the community center and the way to Dubai Silicon Oasis Lake. The project brief describes the location as having "two major highways in close reach".
Dubai Silicon Oasis started life as a technology park and free zone, and it is one of the few free zones in Dubai where people can live as well as work. Offices, warehouses and manufacturing units share the area with apartment buildings, townhouses and villas. The lake at its centre has a running track around it, and the internal road network has been extended and linked directly to the Dubai–Al Ain Road.
The wider community is covered in our Dubai Silicon Oasis investment guide. Every project we publish in the community is listed on the Dubai Silicon Oasis projects page.

Payment terms
Ellington Properties' payment plan for The Hillgate asks for 20% at the time of booking. Four instalments follow on fixed days counted from the reservation date: 10% at 60 days, 10% at 120 days, 5% at 240 days and 5% at 360 days. Four more of 5% each fall due as construction reaches 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%. The last 30% is due on completion.
The first four instalments fall due on fixed days, whatever the progress on site. The four construction payments follow the building.
Ellington's booking steps start with an AED 40,000 booking token, paid by UAE cheque or by credit card, together with a passport copy and the buyer's address and contact details. The buyer then completes the down payment and the registration fees and receives two copies of the SPA to sign. Once Ellington executes the SPA, it registers the unit with the Dubai Land Department and sends the buyer a copy.
