Club Drive: Emaar Apartments in Dubai Hills Estate
Club Drive is a residential project by Emaar Properties in Dubai Hills Estate. The development spans two buildings, Building A and Building B, and offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments. Construction started in April 2024, with handover scheduled for March 2028.
A Position Between the City's Major Hubs
Dubai Hills Estate runs along Al Khail Road, positioned between Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina. From here, residents reach the Downtown financial core in roughly 15 to 20 minutes by car. Business Bay and DIFC sit at a comparable distance. The community contains established retail, parks, and a golf course within its boundaries.
That central placement has a practical payoff. Daily commute options spread across multiple directions rather than funneling through one corridor. For an investor, the proximity to several major business districts widens the pool of potential tenants to include professionals working across central Dubai.
What AED 1.6M to AED 3.86M Covers
The price spread reflects three distinct buyer profiles.
One-bedrooms start at AED 1,626,566, with sizes from 727 to 902 sq ft. These are the entry point into the development and into Dubai Hills Estate as an address. Two-bedrooms open at AED 2,672,077 and range from 1,078 to 1,533 sq ft across multiple layout configurations in both buildings. Three-bedrooms begin at AED 3,862,861, with the largest units reaching 1,959 sq ft.
The one-bedroom tier targets investors and single buyers seeking a foothold at the lowest accessible price. Two-bedrooms sit at the project's midpoint in both price and size, suited to professionals or small families who want more space without moving to the top of the range. The three-bedrooms are family-sized units in a community with the parks and green space to support that lifestyle.
Amenities: Fitness, Green Space, and On-Site Services
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness & Wellness | Gymnasium, Infinity Pool, Well-being and Fitness |
| Outdoor & Green | Landscaped Parks, Barbecue Area, Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Services & Security | CCTV Security, Security, Covered Parking, Mosque |
The project offers 11 amenities across four functional categories. The standout element is the trio of fitness and wellness facilities: a gymnasium, infinity pool, and a dedicated well-being and fitness space. That combination signals a target resident who uses the amenity floor regularly.
The outdoor provision, landscaped parks, a children's play area, and barbecue space, points to families and long-stay residents rather than buyers who will rarely be on-site. On-site dining and covered parking reduce daily dependency on driving. A mosque on-site serves buyers for whom proximity to a place of worship factors into their decision.
Entering Around Two Years Before Handover
Construction began in April 2024. With handover in March 2028, a buyer entering today commits with roughly 22 months remaining before keys. That window limits total payment exposure while still allowing an off-plan entry price rather than a completed-unit purchase.
For an investor, the rental income clock starts in early 2028. For an end-user, the two-year window is compact enough to make this a near-term housing plan rather than a long-horizon off-plan bet.
Getting In for 10% Down
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 90% |
The 10% down payment sits at the accessible end for a project of this location and developer profile. It keeps the initial commitment low while securing the unit. The remaining 90% falls within the construction period, meaning installment payments run through to March 2028. The full purchase price settles at handover, with no post-handover component extending beyond that point.
