Binghatti Hillside Dubai Science Park Dubai

Binghatti Hillside is a single residential tower that Binghatti Developers is building in Dubai Science Park, in Al Barsha South Second, between Arjan and Dubai Hills Estate. It holds 402 homes: 320 studios and 82 one-bedroom apartments, over three basements, a ground floor with nine shops, two podium levels and 21 residential floors. Binghatti finishes the interiors in wood, brass, porcelain and marble and adds smart home controls.

Studios start at AED 775,000 (about Rs 2.00 crore) and one-bedrooms at AED 1.29 M (about Rs 3.32 crore), on a 70/30 plan with nothing owed after handover. Binghatti marketed completion in Q2 2026; one project database prints 31 August 2026. Both dates have passed and no handover has been announced, so this page treats the handover as pending. Hillside is not the same building as Binghatti Hills, the 1,666-home twin-tower project nearby; how the two differ is set out below.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

We print AED 775,000 because it is the start Binghatti marketed and the broker pages agree on it: one prints AED 774,999, another AED 775,000 and a third rounds it to AED 776K. The source listing for this project carries no price. One-bedrooms start at AED 1.29 M on the same pages.

What we cannot do is give a reliable price per sq ft. No source publishes the size of each plan, only a building-wide range of about 359 to 1,464 sq ft. If the AED 775,000 studio is the 359 sq ft plan, the rate is about AED 2,160 per sq ft, which would be high for Dubai Science Park. If it is a larger studio, the rate falls. Ask for the floor plan with the unit number and do the division yourself before you pay a booking amount; the SPA and the DLD transaction record settle it.

Against Binghatti Hills and the district

The nearest comparison is Binghatti's own Binghatti Hills, which launched studios at AED 777,777 for about 446 sq ft. The entry tickets are almost identical, but Hills is a 1,666-home twin tower with two-bedrooms and a larger podium, while Hillside is a single 402-home tower with studios and one-bedrooms only. If the Hillside studio is materially smaller than 446 sq ft, you are paying more per foot for a quieter building. For wider comparison, our guide to apartments in Arjan covers the district next door, where much of the mid-market stock trades.

Payment plan and total cost

The plan is 70/30: 20% on booking, 50% in stages during construction and 30% on completion. There is no post-handover portion, so the full price is paid by the time you take the keys.

Worked example: a AED 775,000 studio on the plan

A broker adds 2% plus VAT, about AED 16,280 on this price. That total, about USD 220,600, sits inside one person's annual LRS allowance.

Late in the build. Construction is far along, so most of the construction instalments on a unit bought now are already due or close to due. On a resale, you repay the seller what they have paid Binghatti plus any premium and take over the rest; the 4% DLD fee is charged on the full resale price. On a developer unit, ask Binghatti which milestones are already passed, because they fall due at signing.

Service charge. Not published for Hillside. Dubai Science Park runs about AED 9 to 15 per sq ft a year, and one broker quotes AED 15 for Binghatti Hills next door. On the smallest 359 sq ft plan that is about AED 3,230 to 5,390 a year; on a one-bedroom of 700 sq ft, about AED 6,300 to 10,500. Ask Binghatti for the approved budget before handover.

Location and connectivity

Dubai Science Park is a TECOM free-zone district in Al Barsha South, built around laboratories, pharmaceutical offices and clinics, with a residential edge that Binghatti is filling in with Hills, Hillside and Hillviews. It is reached from Umm Suqeim Street, with Al Khail Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road close by. Area guides put Dubai Mall at about 18 minutes, Mall of the Emirates at 20 to 25, Downtown at 23 to 25, Dubai International Airport (DXB) at about 24 and Al Maktoum International (DWC) at about 31, all off-peak. Umm Suqeim Street is slow at rush hour.

There is no Dubai Metro station in the district; the nearest is at Mall of the Emirates, and a bus runs from there. Arjan, with Dubai Miracle Garden and a dense cluster of mid-market towers, is next door, and Dubai Hills Estate, with its mall and park, is on the other side. Schools and supermarkets are mostly in those neighbours for now; the nine shops at the base of Hillside will cover daily needs once they are let.

The main thing to know about the location is supply. Binghatti Hills alone adds 1,666 homes, Hillviews more, and Arjan keeps launching. That keeps rents competitive for studios. For other options, see all Dubai projects we track or the full projects list.

Amenities and specifications

The amenity list on Binghatti's page is modest and fits a tower of this size: a gym, a swimming pool, children's play areas and landscaped podium spaces. There is no lagoon pool, amphitheatre or sports court of the kind Binghatti Hills markets, which is one reason Hillside's service charge should come in at the lower end of the district band.

Inside, Binghatti quotes premium materials - wood, brass, porcelain and marble - and smart home technology. The unit mix is 320 studios and 82 one-bedrooms, so roughly four in five homes are studios. The building rises from three basement levels of parking through a ground floor with nine shops and two podium levels to 21 residential floors.

The sources checked do not publish the finish schedule, appliance brands, parking per unit or the size of each plan. Ask for them with the floor plan before you commit. Final specification as per the SPA.

About the developer

Binghatti Developers is a Dubai company founded in 2008 and now run under Binghatti Holding. It is known for angular branded facades and, more recently, for Bugatti Residences, Mercedes-Benz Places and the Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co Residences. It reported 11,935 units sold and seven project handovers in 2025, which it said was more than 20% of all new project completions in Dubai that year, and it planned 15 deliveries in 2026, with about 1,700 homes handed over in the first half.

That volume is the strength and the risk. Binghatti builds fast, and one project database gives Hillside's construction start as 2025 with delivery set for August 2026. But both Hillside's and Binghatti Hills' Q2 2026 dates have passed. Plan around a handover later than marketed and a proper snagging inspection before you accept the keys.

For Indian buyers

Ownership. Dubai Science Park is freehold, so an Indian citizen can own here outright. During construction your purchase is an Oqood record at the DLD; at handover the DLD issues the title deed in your name. The UAE has no annual property tax and no VAT on a residential sale; the government cost is the 4% DLD transfer fee, AED 31,000 on the entry studio. Our guide to buying Dubai property from India covers the paperwork.

Remittance. Under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme each person can send USD 250,000 per financial year. The studio with fees is about AED 810,240, roughly USD 220,600, so one buyer can fund it inside one year. A one-bedroom at AED 1.29 M with fees comes to about USD 366,000 and is easier bought jointly with a spouse or across two financial years. TCS of 20% on remittances above Rs 10 lakh a year is adjusted against your income tax.

Golden Visa. The property route needs AED 2 million. No single unit here reaches it; two units in one name that add up to AED 2 M can.

Rent and tax. Dubai Science Park's gross yield runs about 6.6%, about AED 51,150 a year on AED 775,000, with net about one to one and a half points lower after service charges and management. With so many studios coming in this district, budget for a month or two of vacancy each time a tenant leaves. The UAE levies no tax on the rent; an Indian tax resident declares it in India, with the 30% standard deduction, and reports the flat as a foreign asset.

Pros

• One of the lower entry tickets for a new Binghatti tower: studios from AED 775,000
• A small building by Binghatti's standards - 402 homes against 1,666 at Binghatti Hills next door
• 70/30 plan with nothing owed after handover
• Close to completion, so the wait for rent is short compared with a fresh launch
• Dubai Science Park's district gross yield runs about 6.6%

Cons

• Every handover date on record has passed and no handover is confirmed
• Only studios and one-bedrooms - 80% of the building is studios, so resale competition is heavy
• Plan-by-plan sizes are not published; the price per sq ft cannot be checked until you see the plan
• No metro station in the district; the nearest is Mall of the Emirates
• Supply: Binghatti Hills and Hillviews add thousands more small units in the same district

Who this is for

• Investors who want a studio near Arjan and Dubai Hills Estate under AED 800,000
• Buyers who prefer a smaller tower over a 1,666-home podium
• A single Indian buyer who can fund the whole studio inside one year's LRS allowance

Who should look elsewhere

• Families - there is nothing larger than a one-bedroom
• Golden Visa buyers - no unit here reaches AED 2 M on its own
• Anyone who needs the metro at the door
• Buyers who will not wait for a handover that is already running late

Our verdict

Hillside is Binghatti's small tower in Dubai Science Park, and it should not be confused with the 1,666-home Binghatti Hills beside it. It sells studios from about AED 775,000 and one-bedrooms from AED 1.29 M on a 70/30 plan with nothing after handover. The building is near the end, which cuts the wait, but every date on record has now passed without a handover announcement. With 320 of 402 homes being studios, and Hills and Hillviews adding more small units nearby, resale and rent will be competitive. It is a yield-first buy, not a family home or a visa route.

Worth a look for an investor who wants a Binghatti studio in a quieter, smaller tower near Arjan and Dubai Hills Estate. Before paying, get the SPA handover date, the construction percentage and the exact plan size in writing, and compare with resale studios in Binghatti Hills. Families and Golden Visa buyers should look elsewhere.

When is handover?
