Overview

Vida-branded apartments and townhouses across three buildings in Dubai Hills Estate, launched June 2025 for Q2 2029. Emaar listed 20 units from AED 1,827,888 on 13 November 2026.

Vida Residences Hillside is a three-building project in Dubai Hills Estate by Emaar, carrying the Vida hospitality brand. Sales opened at the end of June 2025, and Property Finder gives expected completion in May 2029.

The mix is one- to three-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom townhouses. Property Finder gives one-bedroom units of 757 to 831 sq ft, two-bedroom units of 1,250 to 1,542 sq ft, three-bedroom apartments of 1,826 to 2,001 sq ft and townhouses of about 2,616 sq ft. Emaar's launch price was AED 1.82 million, and its inventory on 13 November 2026 showed 20 units available from AED 1,827,888, close to that level. Emaar lists pools, indoor and outdoor gyms, a multipurpose lounge, a barbecue and dining area and an outdoor games court.

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

Who it suits: buyers who want a branded apartment in Dubai Hills with a good choice of units still open. What to weigh: Property Finder shows several conflicting price figures and labels the project sold out, while Emaar lists 20 units. Vida buildings usually carry a service charge premium over unbranded towers, and Dubai Hills has several Emaar towers completing in 2029.

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 1-bedroom apartment at Vida Residences HillsideAED 1,827,888

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 73,116

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 1,902,024about £390K

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.
