Vida Residences Hillside: Two Towers by Emaar in Dubai Hills Estate
Vida Residences Hillside is a two-tower apartment and townhouse project by Emaar Properties in Dubai Hills Estate. Bookings opened in June 2025, construction started the following month, and handover is scheduled for May 2029. Tower A and Tower B together offer 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments alongside 3-bedroom townhouses.
Dubai Hills Estate: What the Address Means in Practice
Dubai Hills Estate sits between Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina. Al Khail Road is the main arterial link, putting either hub within about 20 minutes in normal traffic. King's College Hospital and Dubai Hills Mall are already operational within the community, so residents have established healthcare and retail options without leaving the district.
The community is organised around an 18-hole golf course and a central park. For daily life, that translates to walkable green space and open corridors within the development itself.
What the Price Range Actually Looks Like
The project-level entry price sits at AED 1,911,888, but the full unit mix spans a much wider range. 1-bedroom apartments start from AED 1,820,000 for layouts of 756 to 871 square feet. Two-bedroom apartments start at AED 2,710,000, covering floor areas from 1,064 to 1,542 square feet. Three-bedroom apartments begin at AED 3,880,000, with the largest configurations reaching 2,001 square feet.
The townhouse tier sits apart. 3-bedroom townhouses start at AED 6,640,000 for 2,616 square feet, a format that gives buyers significantly more private space within the managed community structure.
The spread reflects a deliberate product mix. A 1-bedroom buyer here is paying for a Vida-branded address in Dubai Hills Estate at close to the lowest entry point in this community. A buyer stepping up to a 3-bedroom apartment at AED 3.88M is acquiring a large home at a mid-market price for this district. The townhouse buyer is making a different bet entirely: more square footage, more separation, and a materially higher upfront commitment.
Apartments and Townhouses Across Two Towers
Both Tower A and Tower B carry apartments in all three bedroom sizes. Townhouses appear in both towers as a smaller proportion of the total unit count. Within each bedroom category, there are multiple layout types with varying floor areas, so buyers comparing options in the same bedroom size have genuine differences to evaluate rather than a single floor plan repeated throughout the building.
What the Amenities Say About This Building
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Fitness & Recreation | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor & Landscape | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Food & Beverage | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
An indoor pool extends usability through Dubai's summer months, when outdoor pools see limited use due to heat. On-site restaurants alongside gardens and a children's play area suggest a building targeting residents who want day-to-day convenience inside the development. The amenity set is family-oriented and practical, which points to the likely resident profile.
Four Years to Handover
Construction started in July 2025. With handover scheduled for May 2029, buyers entering now are committing to approximately four years of construction payments before taking possession. For an off-plan purchase, that runway is the trade-off for accessing early pricing and spreading the payment obligation over the build period.
Getting In for 10% Down
| Stage | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down Payment | 10% |
| During Construction | 70% |
| At Handover | 20% |
A 10% down payment locks in a unit at launch. The 70% spread across the construction period aligns most of the financial commitment with project progress over the four-year build, rather than front-loading the obligation. The remaining 20% falls due at handover in May 2029.
There is no post-handover instalment plan. The full purchase price is settled at the point of key handover. For buyers using UAE mortgage financing, the lending arrangement and the 20% final payment converge at the same date in mid-2029.
