Greencrest

Greencrest is a low-count residential development by Emaar in Dubai Hills, comprising two buildings with 21 apartments across one, two and three-bedroom configurations. Currently under construction, it sits within one of Dubai's most established master-planned communities and is available for purchase now.

# Two buildings, 21 homes: scale and position within Dubai Hills

The project's defining characteristic is its restraint. Twenty-one residences across two buildings places Greencrest firmly at the boutique end of Emaar's output in Dubai Hills, a district the developer has shaped over the past decade alongside Meraas Holding into a self-contained neighbourhood with its own golf course, central park and retail spine.

Dubai Hills occupies a corridor between Al Khail Road and Umm Suqeim Road, which gives it strong access to both the commercial districts of Business Bay and the residential south of the city. Greencrest sits within this established fabric rather than at its frontier.

Construction has not yet progressed beyond groundwork stage, with a recorded readiness of zero per cent at the time of writing.

# Residences, layouts and finish

Apartments run from 832 sq ft for a one-bedroom to 1,878 sq ft for the largest three-bedroom unit. The one-bedroom range spans 832 to 847 sq ft, and prices cluster between AED 1.74 million and AED 1.78 million. Two-bedroom layouts cover three distinct footprints: 1,270, 1,404 and 1,440 sq ft, priced from AED 2.97 million to approximately AED 3.41 million depending on position. Three-bedroom homes reach 1,877 to 1,878 sq ft, with pricing from AED 4.44 million to AED 4.96 million.

Kitchens come fitted as standard. Otherwise, apartments are handed over unfurnished, which suits buyers intending to specify their own interiors or those purchasing through buy-to-let structures where tenant neutral-spec is preferable.

Service charges are quoted at 23 to 24 AED per sq ft annually, a figure broadly consistent with comparable Emaar product in the district.

# Amenities across the shared podium

The amenity set divides into active, passive and family-facing. On the active side: an indoor gym, an outdoor gym and a yoga deck. The swimming pool is complemented by a dedicated kids' pool. For families with young children, the scheme includes both indoor and outdoor play areas.

Social infrastructure covers a picnic and BBQ area, outdoor shaded seating, a multipurpose pavilion and a MUGA court (multi-use games area). The programme is thorough for a 21-unit building and reflects the broader Dubai Hills requirement that residential clusters contribute meaningfully to community life rather than depend entirely on district-level facilities.

# Access, infrastructure and the Dubai Hills grid

Dubai Hills Mall provides day-to-day retail and dining within the community. The 18-hole championship golf course, one of the district's anchors, runs through the neighbourhood and shapes the green corridor that gives the area much of its character.

Al Khail Road connects residents northward to Downtown Dubai and southward toward Expo City and the emerging growth corridors of Dubai South. Journey times to Business Bay run to around 15 to 20 minutes outside peak hours.

# Who Greencrest suits and where it sits in the current market

The combination of a sub-AED 1.8 million entry point, Emaar's brand assurance and a low total unit count makes Greencrest legible to a specific kind of buyer: someone acquiring a first Dubai asset, a portfolio addition in an established district, or a residence sized for a couple or small family who values proximity to green space over urban density.

For European and British buyers drawn to Dubai Hills by its park-and-golf-course character, the scale of the project offers an alternative to the larger tower launches that dominate off-plan supply in the district. The 23 to 24 AED per sq ft service charge is a realistic holding cost worth modelling carefully against rental yield expectations before committing.
