The dates are our estimate: we spread the construction share evenly between now and the keys. The developer's real dates follow the building work, so they can move.
Your payments go into the project's escrow account, which RERA watches, not straight to the developer.
Before you buy
Pay into the project's escrow account only.
This project's escrow account is at the bank named on the register above, watched by RERA. Pay into that account, never to a person.
Check the developer's record.
The Dubai Land Department project register lists 29 finished projects by this developer since 2018. 26 of the 29 were finished by the completion date DLD holds now. DLD replaces that date when a project is given more time and keeps no earlier dates, so this can't show which ones ran late.
Budget for the service charge.
Once the building is finished you pay a yearly service charge per sq ft, set from the building's budget and approved by RERA. Ask Emaar Properties for the estimate.
Register the sale with Oqood.
The Land Department records off-plan sales in its Oqood register. Until your sale is on it, the home isn't in your name.

Gross yield is a year's rent before costs, as a share of the price. At the from price: AED 96,000 ÷ AED 1,840,000 = 5.2%. The home earns nothing until the keys, and new buildings often rent for more than older ones.
Rents come from Ejari, Dubai's register of rent contracts: new residential contracts in the area, all buildings. A median is the middle one: half are lower, half higher.

Vida Residences Hillside is an Emaar Properties project in Dubai Hills Estate with one- to three-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom townhouses from AED 1,840,000, and a listed handover of May 2029. The from price per square foot is 0.6% below 67 one-bedroom off-plan sales in the project over the 12 months to October 2026.
Kings Hospital is about 330 m from the project, around 5 minutes on foot by our estimate, and Dubai Hills Golf Club about 530 m. GEMS International School, Al Khail and GEMS Wellington Academy are each about 1.1 km away, and GEMS New Millennium School about 1.3 km. Equiti Metro Station (formerly First Abu Dhabi Bank) is about 4.6 km away, around 12 minutes by car.
The Dubai Land Department lists 67 one-bedroom off-plan sales in Vida Residences Hillside in the 12 months to October 2026. The from price per square foot is 0.6% below their median. Ask which unit the from price applies to.
The plan is 10% on booking, 70% during construction and 20% at handover. At the from price that is AED 184,000, AED 1,288,000 and AED 368,000, so AED 1,472,000 is paid before handover. The listed handover is May 2029. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 73,600; ask when it is due.
Homes are apartments with one to three bedrooms and three-bedroom townhouses, from 727 to 2,622 sq ft overall. The listing tags the project as branded residences. The developer says each home has a private balcony, with views towards Dubai Hillside Park, so ask what your unit faces. Facilities listed include a golf putting green, a skate and pump track, a rope course, a gym and a shared pool.
