Overview

The first phase of Emaar's Palace-branded Hillside apartments and townhouses in Dubai Hills Estate, launched September 2025 for Q2 2029. Emaar listed five units from AED 1,719,888 on 13 November 2026.

Palace Residences Hillside is a Palace-branded residential project by Emaar in Dubai Hills Estate. Property Finder calls this first phase Hillside A, records bookings from the end of September 2025 and gives expected completion in June 2029. It covers three buildings. A second phase, Palace Residences Hillside B, followed in February 2026.

The mix is one- to three-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom townhouses. Property Finder gives one-bedroom units of 675 to 770 sq ft from AED 1.71 million, two-bedroom units of 1,061 to 1,190 sq ft, three-bedroom apartments of 1,882 to 2,110 sq ft and townhouses of about 2,622 sq ft. Emaar's inventory on 13 November 2026 showed five units available from AED 1,719,888, close to the launch price. Emaar sets the project beside the community park, a sports park and a neighbourhood plaza in the wider Dubai Hills master plan.

The plan on Property Finder is 10% on booking, 70% during construction and 20% on handover.

Who it suits: buyers who want a Palace-branded apartment in Dubai Hills at a price close to the community's entry level. What to weigh: one-bedroom units here are compact, at 675 to 770 sq ft, and branded buildings usually carry higher service charges. With only five units on Emaar's inventory, Hillside B may offer more choice.

Buying costs

Government fees are paid on top of the purchase price. This is the position for the entry-level home; costs scale with price. In Dubai the registration authority is the DLD.

Purchase priceEntry price at Palace Residences HillsideAED 1,719,888

DLD transfer fee (4%)Paid to the Dubai Land Department on registration. The department lists it as 2% from each party, but contracts almost always pass the full 4% to the buyer, so a developer's '50% DLD waiver' means the developer is paying its own listed half. Off-plan, it is paid when the sale is registered in the Oqood system.AED 68,796

Oqood registration admin feeOqood portal fee of AED 1,000 plus knowledge and innovation fees, for registering the off-plan sale contract.AED 1,020

Estimated total to completeAED 1,789,704about £367K

Developers may add their own administration charge on off-plan sales. It is set by the developer, not the land department, so it is not included in this estimate: ask for it in writing before you reserve. Adjust the assumptions in the buying cost calculator.
