Dubai Hills, first MBR City development, announced

The development partners of Mohammed Bin Rashid City, or MBR City, a new multi-billion dollar city in Dubai, on Sunday announced its first project, Dubai Hills, which will feature luxury villas and super-prime estate.

Emaar Properties and Dubai Holding said the new gated community will provide ultra-luxury residences, designed to the bespoke considerations of the owners. Unparalleled in the residential project development history of the city, Dubai Hills ushers in a brand new lifestyle that will set a new mark in high-end lifestyles, following the enormous success of Emirates Hills developed by Emaar.

“The highest benchmarks in quality and design aesthetics that are envisaged for every aspect of MBR City will be highlighted at Dubai Hills, which will become a referral point in the region for superior residential lifestyle development. With demand for premium homes in the city increasing, led by Dubai’s status as the region’s business and lifestyle hub, Dubai Hills is set to be the first choice for the discerning property investors,” Emaar Properties managing director Ahmad Al Matrooshi said in a statement.

The statement does not provide the value of the project, its starting and completion date and number of plots or villas in it. It said the exclusive gated community is designed around a new 18-hole championship golf course to be developed by world-renowned golf course experts, with the villas to overlook rolling greens and fairways.

Each villa will be set on spacious plots of 20,000sqft to 30,000sqft, giving customers the option to develop mansions of their choice in the heart of the city. The community assures residents of safety, security, reliability and effortless access to all lifestyle amenities within an integrated neighbourhood.

“Dubai Hills will mark one of the most remarkable additions to the residential property landscape of the city... By drawing on the strong development competencies, the new residential development will further energise the property sector. Set in the ambience of the new golf course, the exclusive gated community will be a sanctuary for relaxation, with the development aspects to also focus on sustainability and environmental-friendliness,” Al Matrooshi said.

The Dubai Hills development will be located between Emirates Road and Al Khail Road. In addition to the lifestyle amenities within the community such as parks, retail centres, schools and healthcare facilities, residents will also have easy access to the largest park in the heart of MBR City, as well as the Mall of the World development, the world’s largest mall, and the region’s largest family entertainment centre, developed in partnership with Universal Studios International. Envisaged as a brand new city that redefines the context of urban development, MBR City will focus on family tourism with a central park that is 30 per cent bigger than Hyde Park in London, new mall and family entertainment centre.

The city will also have a dedicated area for promoting entrepreneurship and innovation in the region. Developed to meet the future needs of Dubai, MBR City is also aligned to Vision 2030 to boost the UAE economy to enter a new era where it becomes the capital of entrepreneurship, arts, culture and family tourism.
