Hillmont Residences

Hillmont Residences is a 12-storey apartment building by Ellington Properties, located within Jumeirah Village Circle in the southern reaches of Dubai. Scheduled for completion in Q3 2026, it sits among JVC's circular street grid as one of the developer's mid-rise additions to a district that has attracted sustained residential demand over the past several years.

# The building and its position in Jumeirah Village Circle

JVC is organised around a series of concentric loops, which gives the neighbourhood a suburban legibility unusual for Dubai. Streets are tree-lined, parcels generous, and the scale of most buildings modest by the standards of the city's denser corridors. Hillmont sits within this context as a single residential tower, 12 storeys tall.

Ellington has chosen to address the building's exterior through a layering of materials and textures, a considered response to the mixed-use, mid-density character of the surrounding blocks. The lobby takes a hospitality-led approach: a marble reception desk anchors the entrance, while the Lobby Lounge offers seating configurations suited to both informal gathering and individual work. Artwork commissioned through the Ellington Art Foundation is displayed throughout, curated from local practitioners.

At 8.16 per cent construction progress as of the available data, the project is in early build phase, with delivery targeted for the third quarter of 2026.

# Residences: configuration and specification

Hillmont offers studios through to three-bedroom apartments. Exact unit counts and size ranges have not been disclosed in publicly available materials.

Internally, the specification follows Ellington's established residential language: large-format porcelain tile flooring runs across living and kitchen zones, creating a continuous plane that opens the floor plan visually. Kitchens are fitted with European appliances, integrated for energy efficiency, with undermount sinks, durable countertops and warm LED task lighting. Cabinetry and hardware are finished to a standard consistent with the developer's other JVC projects.

The colour palette throughout leans on whites and greys, a deliberate choice that keeps the interiors neutral and adaptable to a range of furnishing preferences. Apartments are delivered unfurnished.

# Amenities: communal infrastructure within the building

The amenity programme at Hillmont is compact and purposefully curated. A pool deck and a separate kids' pool with its own deck serve different resident profiles without one encroaching on the other.

The fitness studio and wellness centre handle active and recovery use respectively, a pairing increasingly standard in Ellington's mid-rise portfolio. A clubhouse provides additional social and communal space. Families with young children are accommodated through a dedicated kids' play area, keeping active play contained and safe.

Service charges are set at AED 16 per square foot per annum.

# Who Hillmont suits in the current Dubai market

JVC has consistently attracted two distinct buyer types: end-users seeking a quieter, more self-contained neighbourhood with practical connectivity to Business Bay and Dubai Marina, and investors drawn to comparatively accessible entry prices and healthy rental demand from the area's professional and family tenant base.

Hillmont, with its hospitality-grade lobby, art programme and Ellington branding, targets the upper tier of that market. It will appeal particularly to buyers from the UK, Europe and South and Southeast Asia who are familiar with Ellington's track record and want a finished product that sits above the generic mid-market without requiring the capital outlay of a waterfront address.

The project is currently listed as out of stock, which suggests the available inventory has been absorbed. Prospective buyers should engage directly with JRE to assess resale or assignment opportunities as construction progresses toward the 2026 handover.
