Nothing prepares you for the surprise that hides behind the hoarding of Dubai Hills Estate, the 11 million sq. m master-planned community located right off Al Khail Road.

A smart, green city has taken shape.

Almost like an oasis, this master-planned community greets visitors with immaculately laid out green avenues, a seamless network of roads and round-abouts, serene lakes and waterbodies, and a true taste of active lifestyle living.

Dubai Hills Estate, developed by Emaar Properties in a joint venture with Meraas Holding and easily accessible from Mohammed bin Zayed and Sheikh Zayed Road, has risen.

Comprising a brand-new championship golf course, Dubai Hills Estate surprises visitors with the tremendous progress in construction that has already been completed.

A welcoming Street of Dreams gives the first and full magnificent view of the lifestyle that awaits residents. Premium villas have been developed that exude style and sophistication befitting the refined tastes of connoisseurs.

The Street of Dreams showcases a beautiful show villa that presents unmatched choices including a basement that doubles up as a home theatre and lounge to greet guests. The rooms are spacious, thoughtfully designed with luxurious fittings throughout.

The sales pavilion, already operational and welcoming customers, provides a true-to-life snapshot of the experience that awaits them. And beyond the models and renderings, they can indeed watch the neighbourhood taking shape with work on the golf course also having made significant progress.

The initial phase of the course is already complete. The first shell-and-core golf villas in the Fairways and Parkways communities - an exclusive collection of just a handful of elegant residences with the land plot earlier offered for sale - are set for delivery later this year. Investors can design their homes to their choice, recreating the majestic opulence of Emirates Hills, Emaar's pioneering venture that has set standards in villa communities.

The construction of other townhouses and apartments - Maples, Mulberry and Acacia - will be rolled out shortly with the Mulberry apartments the first to be handed over.

Visitors to Dubai Hills Estate can experience the 'Sidra' lifestyle, a unique collection of premium villas that gained overwhelming response from customers during its first phase launch.

The defining narrative of Dubai Hills Estate is the harmonious blend of modern lifestyle luxuries with an abundance of choices for active outdoor pursuits.

While golf enthusiasts are assured of a perfect getaway home overlooking the greens, the choices for wellness abound with parks, jogging tracks and bicycling trails.

Ahmad Al Matrooshi, Managing Director of Emaar Properties, says: "The residential communities in Dubai Hills Estate are indeed a first of their kind in the city with the focus on green living next to a world-class championship golf course. The extensive landscapes and natural trails make the homes the first choice for end-use homeowners and customers who seek long-term value.

"Residents can enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle, a quiet and peaceful ambience and the opportunity to live in close harmony with nature. But the real surprise will be in the villas, townhouses and apartments that we have designed. These are communities that will delight residents with the choice of amenities and the spectacular views they offer. The opportunity for investors to purchase land plots and design villas of their choice, much like the trend-setting Emirates Hills, is another attraction that will appeal to the connoisseurs."

"Dubai Hills Estate is all set to become one of the most sought-after communities in Dubai," adds Al Matrooshi. "We are creating a city of the future that upholds the themes of sustainability, mobility and connectivity. This is how cities of the future will be - with green open spaces that add to the quality of life, while offering all comforts in close proximity."

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.

The golf course emulates strategic elements of some of the world's best golf courses. The emphasis is on challenging golf enthusiasts to try out creative shots while navigating multiple risks to earn exciting wins. The course overlooks Burj Khalifa and the Downtown Dubai skyline making for some spell-binding golf experiences. It will have three distinctive landscapes: Wadis, valleys and lakes. These will set a number of challenges for golfers.

Adding to the lifestyle choice of residents, Dubai Hills Estate will have a centrally located mall and community retail areas including a boutique mall for high-end brands. An international hospital offering various specialities will be another highlight of the development.

For those seeking an office in the heart of a green community, look no further, as Dubai Hills Estate offers commercial property. World-class hotels will also add to the convenience of golfers, guests, residents and visitors. Schools, tennis and sports centres, and a bustling boulevard of about 7 km will bring innovative leisure, retail and F&B choices.

And for nature lovers, there is the abundant choice of 45 km of trekking trails.

The sustainability features deployed at Dubai Hills Estate are a model in urban development. The golf course is irrigated by treated waste water and ground water, while the landscaping is based on arid/low-water plants that are ideal for the environment.

All villas are designed to the green building standards set by Dubai Municipality. Extra care has been taken in replanting the existing ghaf trees on-site, with the overall number of the UAE's National Tree set to be quadrupled.

Apart from the cycling tracks and walkways, the development aims to promote an environmentally sustainable lifestyle with effortless connectivity to public modes of transport including a Dubai Metro link. Two metro lines, Pink and Purple, will serve the residents who will have easy access to three stations. The Purple Line will also be linked to the Etihad Rail main station. A dedicated Dubai Hills rail line will connect residents and visitors to the two international airports in the city.

So if you are seeking a green yet smart lifestyle in a home tucked amidst the greens, Dubai Hills Estate offers you the best bet in the city today.
