Leading Dubai developer Emaar Properties has launched an exclusive collection of residences with park and boulevard views at its ambitious Dubai Hills Estate.

A joint venture with Meraas Holding, Dubai Hills Estate is accessible from Sheikh Zayed Road, and located at the crossroads of Al Qudra and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road.

A green city within the city, the 11-million-sq-m Dubai Hills Estate is set to welcome its first residents later this year, ensuring that customers into the new mid-rise tower become part of a fully-established neighbourhood, said a statement from Emaar.

The first key launch this summer, the newly launched homes offer customers the opportunity to be part of a distinctive community highlighted by a central park, a championship golf course, a world-class mall, two lifestyle hotels, a bustling boulevard with modern cafes and restaurants, and over 45 km of trekking trails, it stated.

Only 147 residences, comprising one, two and three-bedroom apartments, are now offered for sale at the new tower in the Acacia at Dubai Hills Estate community. The homes offer panoramic views of the central park or the boulevard, said the statement from the Dubai developer.

The lush-green neighbourhood adds to the harmony of living in a development that celebrates an outdoor lifestyle. All homes have high-quality finishes and residents will have access to world-class amenities including a championship golf course and tennis academy, it stated.

Ahmad Al Matrooshi, the managing director of Emaar Properties, said: "We are launching the new mid-rise tower in Dubai Hills Estate, one of the highly sought-after communities just in time to meet the growing interest from international investors who travel to Dubai this summer, and for customers who wish to be part of a vibrant lifestyle neighbourhood."

One of the largest master-planned communities in the city, Dubai Hills Estate will have a total green area of over 2.2 million sq m that includes the golf course, and a central park spreading over an area of about 180,000 sq m.

The golf course alone occupies 1.29 million sq m, and overlooks Burj Khalifa and the Downtown Dubai skyline. Surrounding the golf course will be over 4,400 villas and townhouses and some 22,000 apartments.

“Dubai Hills Estate brings a unique value proposition to Dubai serving as a green oasis in the heart of the city, only minutes away from Downtown Dubai and other business centres. Families will be assured of a ‘wellness lifestyle’ at the new residences that also open to spectacular vistas of a central park,” explained Al Matrooshi.

Marking the first phase of the Mohammed bin Rashid City, Dubai Hills Estate is highlighted by the harmonious blend of modern lifestyle luxuries with an abundance of choices for active outdoor pursuits, he added.

The mega-development will also have a centrally located mall and community retail areas including a boutique mall for high-end brands, two world-class hotels, schools, tennis and sports centres, and a bustling boulevard of about 7 km with innovative leisure, retail and F&B choices.

Apart from the cycling tracks and walkways, Dubai Hills Estate aims to promote an eco-friendly lifestyle with effortless connectivity to public modes of transport including a Dubai Metro link, said the statement.

A dedicated Dubai Hills Rail line will connect residents and visitors to the two international airports in the city, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
