Parkland, Dubai Hills Estate: Emaar Apartments from AED 1.5M
Emaar Properties launched Parkland in late 2024 as part of their continued build-out of Dubai Hills Estate. Construction broke ground in November 2024, and the project sits within the Parkland sub-district of the estate. This is an off-plan apartment project with handover set for November 2028.
Living in Dubai Hills Estate
Dubai Hills Estate runs along Al Khail Road in central-south Dubai. The drive to Downtown Dubai and Business Bay is roughly 15 to 20 minutes in normal traffic. Dubai International Airport is about 25 to 30 minutes away. The estate has its own mall, golf course, and hospital already operating, so day-to-day errands do not require leaving the community.
For investors, Dubai Hills Estate has become one of the more established addresses for mid-to-upper mid-market apartments in Dubai. The Emaar brand carries weight with tenants, and the estate's infrastructure is mature enough that the community itself is a draw, not just a future promise.
What AED 1.5M to AED 4M Gets You
The price range spans three bedroom configurations, with a clean step between each.
1-bedroom apartments start at AED 1,500,000, with unit sizes ranging from 741 to 884 sq ft. These are the entry point and suit first-time buyers or investors targeting single-occupant or couple tenants.
2-bedroom apartments start at AED 2,800,000, with areas from 1,227 to 1,379 sq ft. The jump from one to two bedrooms here is AED 1.3 million, which puts this range squarely in the market for growing families or investors targeting longer-term family tenancies.
3-bedroom apartments start at AED 4,000,000, with sizes from 1,812 to 1,840 sq ft. At this price in Dubai Hills Estate, the buyer is typically an end-user who wants a larger footprint in the estate without stepping into the villa segment.
Amenities: Practical, Family-Focused
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Fitness | Gymnasium |
| Water & Leisure | Shared Pool |
| Outdoor | Barbecue Area, Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
Six amenities is a focused list for a Dubai Hills Estate project. The combination of a pool, gym, children's play area, and barbecue space points clearly at families and residents rather than short-stay investors. Restaurants on-site reduce the need to drive out for meals. The amenity count is lean compared to some towers in the broader Dubai market, which often means lower service charges for owners.
Getting In for 10% Down
| Phase | Share |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 70% |
| On handover | 20% |
A 10% down payment on a AED 1.5M unit comes to AED 150,000. That is a light entry requirement by Dubai off-plan standards. The construction phase carries 70% of the total, spread across installments from now through late 2028. The final 20% falls due as a single payment at handover in November 2028.
Buyers need to plan their installments across the construction period. With the bulk of payments distributed during the build, monthly or quarterly installments replace a large upfront commitment.
Two Years to Handover
Construction started in November 2024 and handover is targeted for November 2028. From today, that is roughly 26 months remaining. Off-plan buyers entering now are past the initial pre-launch phase. The project is an active construction site, which reduces some of the uncertainty associated with very early-stage off-plan purchases.
Emaar Properties is the master developer of Dubai Hills Estate. Parkland sits within the estate they have been building since the mid-2010s, alongside multiple completed towers and villa communities.
