DoubleTree by Hilton

A residential scheme carrying the DoubleTree by Hilton name, developed by West F5 Developments in Al Satwa, this single building comprises 21 apartments scheduled for handover in June 2027. It is currently under construction and on sale, with pricing running from AED 1.98 million to AED 3.55 million across one- and two-bedroom configurations.

# The building and its place in Al Satwa

Al Satwa occupies a position that many longer-established Dubai residents consider undervalued. Bordered by Sheikh Zayed Road to the west and the quieter residential blocks of Jumeirah to the south, the district has historically absorbed a working population that valued centrality over spectacle. That character is changing. Incremental redevelopment over the past several years has introduced mid-rise residential stock into a neighbourhood where land values remain comparatively accessible against the Downtown or Jumeirah Beach Residence corridors.

West F5 Developments is placing a single tower here, carrying the DoubleTree by Hilton branding into a residential format. The project is compact by Dubai standards: 21 units across one building. That scale shapes the offer. Common areas are not shared with hundreds of other residents, and the operational standards associated with Hilton's hospitality background carry through into the management proposition.

# Residences, layouts and kitchen specification

The unit mix covers one-bedroom apartments from approximately 803 sq ft and two-bedroom apartments from 1,179 sq ft up to 1,414 sq ft. Prices per square foot sit roughly in the AED 2,370 to AED 2,510 range for the one-bedroom tier, based on the available data, with the larger two-bedroom formats reaching just above AED 2,500 per sq ft at the upper end.

Kitchens are fitted and equipped as part of the base specification. Beyond that, the apartments are delivered unfurnished, which gives buyers control over interior fit-out and finish. Service charges are set at AED 15 per sq ft annually, a figure that reflects the managed hospitality element built into the scheme.

The two-bedroom category shows meaningful size variation, from standard 1,179 sq ft layouts to larger 1,304 sq ft and 1,414 sq ft configurations. That spread in the two-bedroom offer allows buyers with different spatial requirements to remain within the same building, rather than having to step up to a different project entirely.

# Amenities across a 21-unit scheme

The amenity provision includes a main swimming pool, a separate children's pool, a kids' play area, a gym, an outdoor lounge and a multipurpose room. For a building of 21 residences, this is a full set. Demand on these facilities will remain low relative to the typical Dubai tower, where the same pool deck might serve several hundred apartments.

The multipurpose room and outdoor lounge create options for residents who want social space without leaving the building.

# Distances that matter: Al Satwa's connectivity in figures

Al Wasl Park sits 0.9 km from the project, making it accessible on foot for most residents. Jumeirah Public Beach is 2.2 km away. Downtown Dubai is 5 km, and Dubai International Airport is 11 km, both reachable in reasonable drive times given the building's proximity to Sheikh Zayed Road. Mercato Shopping Mall on Jumeirah Beach Road is 3.3 km.

Al Shaab School for Basic Education is 0.7 km away, relevant for families with school-age children who prefer to reduce commuting time to near zero.

The location does not offer beachfront or Downtown proximity in the way that higher-priced neighbourhoods do, but it provides a central position from which both corridors are accessible without significant commitment to traffic. That is a practical calculation for residents who move across the city regularly.

# Who this project suits and where it sits in the current market

At AED 1.98 million for a one-bedroom of just over 800 sq ft, this is a mid-range entry point by current Dubai standards, positioned above the more commodity-driven stock in areas like Jumeirah Village Circle but below the premium commanded by the Palm, Downtown or City Walk. The Hilton brand affiliation provides a degree of management credibility that purely residential developers cannot always match, which matters both for owner-occupiers assessing long-term building standards and for investors considering the rental profile of a hospitality-branded residence.

The 21-unit count is the defining characteristic. Buyers who find that larger towers dilute the quality of shared amenities and complicate building management will find the scale here more aligned with how they want to live. Completion in June 2027 gives buyers a construction window of roughly two years from the current sale date, typical for this stage of the Dubai off-plan cycle. For international buyers with a medium-term horizon on Dubai, the combination of brand, location and scale makes this a coherent, if specific, proposition.
