Mulberry Dubai Hills Estate Dubai

Mulberry is Emaar's low-rise apartment cluster inside Park Heights, the apartment quarter of Dubai Hills Estate. It is finished and lived in, not an off-plan launch: construction started in April 2015, the project completed in September 2019, and Emaar's handover record lists Mulberry Phase 1 and Phase 2 together at 672 apartments delivered. Homes are 1, 2 and 3 BHK, with duplex and terrace layouts in the mix.

Because it is ready, what you pay is a resale ask. The lowest live listing across the Mulberry buildings is AED 2,252,000 (about Rs 5.80 crore); Bayut puts the Mulberry 1 range at AED 2,260,000 to AED 10,257,888, and DLD transaction data shows Mulberry 2 selling at an average of AED 2,830,782. There is no developer payment plan — cash or a UAE mortgage. See the rest of the emirate on our page of all Dubai projects we track, or browse our full projects index.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

Sources disagree, and the gap is the developer era against today's resale market.

The AED 1.12 million figure, and a AED 1,415,888 starting price still quoted on uae-offplan, are history: they record what Mulberry cost when Emaar was selling it. Bayut puts the Mulberry 1 average ask near AED 4,998,502.

Dubai Hills Estate averaged about AED 2,381 per sq ft in Q1 2026. At that rate AED 2,252,000 buys roughly 946 sq ft — a large 1 BHK or a tight 2 BHK. Mulberry's park-facing low-rise format usually asks above the community average, so expect the smaller sizes at the entry figure.

Payment plan and total cost

There is no 60/40 or 20/80 here. Emaar's release sold out years ago, so this is a resale: full price on transfer, or a UAE mortgage, which for a non-resident usually caps near 50% of value.

There is no annual property tax in the UAE and no sales tax on a residential resale. A mortgage adds a bank arrangement fee of about 1% and a DLD mortgage registration fee of 0.25%. Figures are final as per the sale contract and the approved service-charge budget.

Location and connectivity

Dubai Hills Estate is the joint Emaar and Meraas master community inside Mohammed Bin Rashid City, bounded by Al Khail Road (E44) and Umm Suqeim Street (D63). Park Heights is its apartment quarter, next to the 18-hole Dubai Hills Golf Club and Dubai Hills Park.

Dubai Hills Mall opened inside the community in 2022 and is the main reason rents here have held. Schools, clinics and King's College Hospital Dubai sit inside the master plan. None of the sources we checked prints verified drive times, so we are not inventing them — drive it yourself at 8am. There is no Metro station here and no published plan for one.

Amenities and specifications

Mulberry's distinguishing feature at launch was its shared podium terraces, decks that look over Dubai Hills Park rather than into another tower, and blocks of about seven floors that keep lift waits small. Standard Emaar apartment specification applies: fitted kitchens, built-in wardrobes, covered parking, pool, gym and play areas per cluster. The buildings are now six years old, so the condition of the individual apartment matters more than the brochure. Ask for the service-charge statement and two years of maintenance history on that unit before you sign.

About the developer

Emaar Properties built Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, Arabian Ranches, Dubai Creek Harbour and Dubai Hills Estate. As of early 2026 it had delivered more than 129,100 residential units globally since 2002, including 186 projects and about 68,900 units in Dubai, with 47,326 units under construction.

The delivery record is the emirate's benchmark: Property Finder data has put Emaar behind the largest share of Dubai handovers in recent six-month windows, and 2025 brought AED 49.6 billion of revenue on AED 80.4 billion of sales. Inside Dubai Hills Estate it has handed over Parkway Vistas, Sidra 2, Fairway Vistas, Maple 1 and 2, and both Mulberry phases. A second Emaar option in the same community is Park Point at Dubai Hills Estate.

For Indian buyers

Dubai Hills Estate is freehold and open to all nationalities. Because Mulberry is complete, the Dubai Land Department issues you a title deed on transfer — no escrow stage, no Oqood. Budget the 4% DLD transfer fee and about AED 4,000 for the DLD registration trustee office, which is where the transfer is done.

Money leaves India under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme: USD 250,000 per person per financial year, so a couple can move USD 500,000. The entry unit is roughly USD 613,000 and a resale gives you no instalment schedule, so plan on two financial years, more than one family member, or a UAE mortgage. TCS above the threshold is set off against your Indian tax. At AED 2,252,000 the purchase clears the AED 2 million Golden Visa line, subject to the DLD valuation on the day you apply.

On yield, be careful. Marketing copy quotes up to 6.45% gross for Mulberry and about 5.4% for Dubai Hills Estate. Run it yourself: AED 75,000 of rent on a AED 2,252,000 purchase is 3.3% gross, and AED 110,000, the bottom of Mulberry 1's live rental listings, gives 4.9%. Underwrite at 4% before service charges. There is no annual property tax in the UAE and no tax on the rent there, but India taxes that rent at your slab rate after the standard 30% deduction, and taxes the capital gain on resale.

Pros

• Finished since September 2019: no handover risk, rent from month one.
• Emaar, with about 68,900 units delivered in Dubai and the best on-time record in the emirate.
• Low-rise blocks of about seven floors with shared park-facing terraces.
• Dubai Hills Mall, the golf club, the park, schools and a hospital inside the master community.
• The AED 2,252,000 entry ask clears the AED 2 million Golden Visa line without a second unit.

Cons

• Gross yield on current asks is roughly 3.3% to 4.9%, well under the 6.45% quoted in marketing copy.
• No developer payment plan; non-resident mortgages typically cap at 50% of value.
• About AED 2,381 per sq ft makes Dubai Hills Estate one of the pricier non-waterfront apartment communities.
• Service charges at AED 12 to 15 per sq ft cut the net return further.
• Six-year-old buildings: unit condition and the reserve fund matter more than the specification sheet.
• No Metro station, and sources disagree on the basics — 330 apartments against 672, two size ranges.

Who this is for

• End users who want a finished Emaar apartment in a school-and-park community and can pay without instalments.
• Golden Visa buyers wanting one unit above AED 2 million that already earns rent.
• Investors buying for capital growth in a proven community who accept about 4% gross.

Who should look elsewhere

• Yield-first investors: 6% gross is not available here at today's asks.
• Buyers who will not commission a condition report on a six-year-old apartment.

Our verdict

Mulberry is a safe, finished asset in the strongest non-waterfront community Emaar has built, and the case for it is stability rather than return. You get a title deed on the day of transfer, a tenant pool the mall, the schools and the hospital keep deep, and the delivery record other Dubai builders are measured against.

The arithmetic needs discipline. At AED 2,252,000 and up the gross yield is 3.3% to 4.9%, not 6.45%, and service charges take another bite. Buy it to live in, or to hold for capital growth with rent as a bonus. Before you transfer, get the service-charge budget, the maintenance history and a condition report.

Run this project's numbers yourself. The calculator opens on the price and unit size above; change the currency, the rent or the mortgage and it recalculates the fees, the cash you need on day one and the net rent.

FAQs

What is the price of an apartment in Mulberry, Dubai Hills Estate?

The lowest live resale ask is AED 2,252,000 (about Rs 5.80 crore). Bayut puts the Mulberry 1 range at AED 2,260,000 to AED 10,257,888 and DLD data shows Mulberry 2 selling near AED 2,830,782. Developer-era pages still quote AED 1,122,000 for a 1 BHK; that figure is historical.

Is there a payment plan at Mulberry?

No. The project completed in September 2019 and Emaar's release sold out, so every purchase is a resale: full price on transfer or a UAE mortgage, which for non-residents usually caps near 50%. Add the 4% DLD transfer fee, about AED 4,000 plus VAT for the registration trustee and 2% plus VAT agency commission.

Is Mulberry registered with the Dubai Land Department?

Yes. Ownership passes by a title deed issued by the DLD at a registration trustee office. Because the building is finished there is no escrow stage and no Oqood registration. No source we checked prints the original DLD project number; ask the seller's agent and verify the title deed on the Dubai REST app before paying a deposit.

What rental yield does Mulberry give?

Less than the marketing says. One source quotes up to 6.45% gross, and Dubai Hills Estate as a whole about 5.4%. Against the AED 2,252,000 entry ask, a AED 75,000 one-bedroom rent is 3.3% gross and AED 110,000, the bottom of Mulberry 1's live rental listings, is 4.9%. Underwrite at 4%, before service charges.

What are the service charges, and does Mulberry qualify for the Golden Visa?

Dubai Hills Estate runs AED 8 to 15 per sq ft a year and Park Heights sits at the AED 12 to 15 end: about AED 12,300 a year on 946 sq ft at AED 13. On the visa, yes at current prices — the threshold is AED 2 million of property and the entry ask is AED 2,252,000, judged on the DLD's valuation on the day you apply.

Can an Indian citizen buy in Mulberry, and how does LRS work?

Yes, Dubai Hills Estate is freehold and open to all nationalities. Under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme each resident Indian can send USD 250,000 per financial year, so a couple can move USD 500,000. The entry unit is about USD 613,000 and a resale has no instalment plan, so plan on two financial years, more than one family member, or a UAE mortgage.
