Distress | 5BR Villa | Address Villas Hillcrest | Below Original Price | Ready and Vacant

The opportunity: a 5-bedroom branded villa in Address Villas Hillcrest, Dubai Hills Estate, offered at AED 22,300,000 — AED 1,963,000 below the original purchase cost of AED 24,263,083 (price plus 4% DLD), a discount of 8.1% on a ready, vacant, branded Emaar villa. Distress pricing on Hillcrest stock is rare: the community is small, fully sold out, and resale supply is limited to a handful of units at any given time.

THE NUMBERS

Asking price: AED 22,300,000 Original price + 4% DLD: AED 24,263,083 Discount: AED 1,963,083 (8.1%) BUA: 9,918 sqft Plot: 6,986 sqft Status: ready and vacant

THE UNIT

A Type 02 single-row villa with 5 bedrooms across basement, ground, first and roof levels (B+G+1+R). Nearly 10,000 sqft of built-up area on a 6,986 sqft plot, with balconies, dedicated parking and the full Address-branded specification. Single-row positioning means no facing neighbours at the rear — one of the two layout attributes that consistently command a premium at resale in this community, which makes the below-original pricing here unusual.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Address Villas Hillcrest is Emaar‘s branded villa enclave in Dubai Hills Estate, carrying The Address hotel brand — one of the few branded villa communities in Dubai. The collection is limited to a small number of 5 and 6-bedroom villas, positioned in the upper tier of the Dubai Hills villa market alongside Fairway Vistas and the Parkway line. Branded management, hotel-standard specification and the scarcity of stock are what hold pricing in this pocket of the community.

AMENITIES

• Private garden and parking
• Balconies and roof level
• Basement level
• Access to Dubai Hills Estate community infrastructure: parks, cycling tracks, Dubai Hills Golf Club
• Address brand specification and finishes

LOCATION

Hillcrest sits within Dubai Hills Estate with access to Dubai Hills Golf Club, Dubai Hills Park and Dubai Hills Mall. Al Khail Road connects the community to Downtown Dubai in roughly 15 minutes, with the Marina corridor a similar drive in the other direction.

SERVICE CHARGES

Villa service charges in Dubai Hills Estate typically run in the range of AED 3-5 per sqft of plot per year, and branded communities can carry a premium above that. For a 6,986 sqft plot this translates to approximately AED 25,000-35,000 annually as a baseline estimate. The exact rate for Address Villas Hillcrest is approved annually via the Mollak system and will be verified before the transaction.

WHY THIS PROPERTY

Ready, vacant, branded, single row — and priced below what the current owner paid including transfer costs. In a community where resale stock is scarce and sellers typically hold for premiums, a sub-original-price exit on a Type 02 single-row unit is a genuine distress position rather than a marketing label. The discount is verifiable against the original purchase price.

STATUS

Ready and vacant.
