Dubai Hills Estate is one of the most popular areas to reside in Dubai, with a mixed-use infrastructure, and great overall amenities. The project launched in 2014 and is a joint venture of two holding companies – Emaar Properties and Meraas Holding. This was the first phase of construction for the Mohammed Bin Rashid City district (MBR City) and is a “city within a city” due to the huge scale of the project. The total built-upon area is over 118 million sq. ft, where it is proposed to accommodate over 100,000 residents in over 30 blocks. Most of the area is set aside for vast landscaped parks and gardens, outdoor areas and a 177,165 ft cycling track. The project comprises property such as a commercial centre, hotels and hotel apartments, townhouses, mid and low-rise complexes as well as residential land plots, which are located on an area equal to 200 football fields. It is evident that no other community in the region can measure up to such size.
According to the master plan, Dubai Hills Estate is an extensive residential complex, which is essentially divided into three zones:
The central part of the development is surrounded by 397 villas, which belong to the Parkways & Fairways community.
In the northern districts there are two shopping centers and mid-rise residential complexes built around a 22,965 ft street with shops and restaurants.
The third zone has a higher building density in the Maple and Sidra communities where both villas and townhouses are located. Sidra consists of three phases; the first one will present 170 villas, the second – 160 and the third will house approximately 145 villas.
It is worth noting that Dubai Hills is very popular among families with small children, as the area has four schools, a vast park with playgrounds, volleyball court, tennis court, skate park, bike paths, swimming pools and landscaped recreation areas with hammocks. As for young professionals who prefer a lively social life, this is a place where they can relax and escape their daily routine.
