Privé Residence

Privé Residence, on the edge of Dubai Hills Estate, is a completed single-building development by Ginco Properties comprising 225 apartments across a mix of studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts, with ground-floor retail at its base. Handed over in July 2023, it sits within one of Dubai's most deliberately planned residential districts and carries a service charge of 16 AED per square foot.

# The building and its position in Dubai Hills Estate

Dubai Hills Estate is an Emaar and Meraas master-planned district occupying a broad swathe of land between Al Khail Road and Umm Suqeim Road, roughly midway between Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina. The community is organised around an 18-hole championship golf course, a central park corridor, and Dubai Hills Mall, giving it a legibility and permanence that newer fringe districts lack.

Privé Residence is a single mid-rise building, semi-furnished throughout. Its ground floor incorporates retail space, a practical decision that reduces residents' dependence on the car for daily necessities. The architecture follows the clean-lined aesthetic common to the district: open floor plans, generous glazing, and balconies positioned to frame the green surroundings rather than overlook road infrastructure.

# Residences: layouts, specification and outdoor space

The 225 units span three typologies: studios, one-bedroom apartments and two-bedrooms. Specific square footages are not disclosed in available data, but the developer's specification points to fitted kitchens, built-in wardrobes across the bedrooms, and balconies on park-facing units that bring natural light and greenery into the interior.

Semi-furnished throughout. Finishes lean on a warm neutral palette with timber-toned elements and polished stone detailing in the shared lobbies and lift landings.

The balconies are a genuine feature rather than a token gesture. Park-facing units have the more compelling outlook, and in a district this green, that matters to everyday livability.

# Amenity provision within the building

# What the building includes

The amenity offer is focused rather than sprawling. Residents have access to a gym, a swimming pool, a kids' area and community spaces for informal gathering. A BBQ area and a pet-friendly policy add further household practicality.

The lobby is scaled to double as a social space, which suits the building's positioning as a community-minded address rather than an anonymous rental block. These are not extravagant amenities by Dubai's current standards, but they are well-matched to the building's scale and to the likely buyer profile: owner-occupiers and long-term tenants who want reliable provision without excessive complexity.

# Location: distances and daily connections

Dubai Hills Mall sits 4.3 kilometres away, roughly eight minutes by car. The Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai are 12.8 kilometres out, reachable in around 13 minutes via Al Khail Road. Dubai International Airport is 22.1 kilometres away, a 21-minute drive under normal traffic conditions.

For families, Nord Anglia International School Dubai is 10.3 kilometres from the building, a 15-minute drive. Al Barsha Pond Park is 9.3 kilometres away and Jumeirah Beach Park 11.8 kilometres, both within 15 minutes. The district is not yet metro-served, so car dependency remains a realistic consideration for daily commuting.

# Where Privé Residence sits for buyers entering Dubai Hills

Privé Residence is now a completed, tenanted or tenantable asset rather than an off-plan proposition. For buyers who want exposure to Dubai Hills without the delivery risk that still attaches to many addresses in the district, a completed building with a July 2023 handover date and a functioning community removes one layer of uncertainty.

The 16 AED per square foot service charge is a figure worth running against comparable buildings in the district before committing. Dubai Hills continues to attract European and GCC buyers drawn to its school proximity, golf course setting and mid-city location. Privé Residence, as a smaller-scale building in that ecosystem, suits buyers seeking a contained, lower-density address within a well-resourced master community.
