What the 10% booking share covers
The 10% due on booking is the first instalment of the 80% paid before handover. Emaar's official page confirms the overall 80/20 split and the booking percentage, with the detailed milestone schedule for the remaining construction-stage instalments confirmed by your adviser once a specific unit and size are chosen.
A branded residence inside Dubai Hills Estate
Palace Residences Hillside brings Emaar's partnership with Palace Hotels into Dubai Hills Estate, pairing the 80/20 payment structure with a hospitality-grade service offer. The building centres on an infinity pool with a sun deck, indoor and outdoor fitness areas, and a rooftop terrace overlooking the Dubai skyline, with a landscaped podium deck running through the base of the tower. The address sits close to the golf course, Dubai Hills Park and Dubai Hills Mall.
Sizes against price
With sizes ranging from 676 to 1,643 sq ft, a 1 bedroom apartment near the lower end of that range sits closest to the AED 1,719,888 starting price, while larger 2 and 3 bedroom layouts command a higher confirmed price once a specific unit is selected. The exact price-per-size mapping is confirmed by your adviser against current availability.
Why the payment timeline matters for Q2 2029
A Q2 2029 handover gives buyers a longer runway than some nearer-term Dubai Hills releases, which can suit a buyer planning to spread the 80% share across a longer construction period rather than concentrate cash flow in a shorter window. The trade-off is a longer wait before the branded-residence services and amenities become usable.
Booking steps
- Confirm the unit size and bedroom count against your budget.
- Submit passport and proof of funds for the reservation file.
- Transfer the 10% booking payment into the project's escrow account.
- Register the unit under Oqood with the Dubai Land Department.
- Continue the remaining 80/20 instalments through construction toward Q2 2029.

Comparing the 80% share to a nearby plan
Parkside Views, another current Dubai Hills Estate release, runs a lighter 90/10 structure with only a 10% down payment, compared to Palace Residences Hillside's 80/20 split where 80% of the price is spread before handover. For a buyer weighing both, the practical difference is less about the booking payment itself, both ask for 10%, and more about how much of the remaining balance is due before completion versus concentrated at the Q2 2029 or Q3 2027 handover date.

Confirming the plan before you commit
Since Emaar's page confirms only the overall 80/20 split and the 10% booking figure, ask your adviser for the detailed construction-stage milestone schedule in writing before transferring funds, rather than assuming it mirrors another Dubai Hills Estate project's plan. Each release can structure its construction-stage instalments slightly differently even when the headline 80/20 ratio looks identical.
