Binghatti Hillcrest Dubai: Arjan Sources and Prices (2026)

Binghatti Hillcrest Dubai is a six-story residential and retail building in Arjan, and on 14 November 2026 the developer’s own page labelled it Available with the line Starting AED 799,999, about USD 217,835 at the pegged rate of 3.6725 per USD, for studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments.

This guide to Binghatti Hillcrest Dubai reads the developer’s page and its project-facts sheet beside Dubai Land Department data relayed by Property Index and Propsearch, and beside ten broker and portal pages, each as it stood on 14 November 2026. The handover, the number of units, the number of floors, the payment plan and even the area name differ between those sources, so every figure is shown with its source and none is chosen over another.

The sections that follow cover the building, the register, the prices, the plans, the district and its distances, the Dubai rules for an off-plan purchase taken from official pages, and a list of what a buyer can ask for in writing before reserving. It is an information profile and not an offer, and it does not say that any particular unit is free.

Overview of Binghatti Hillcrest Dubai

On the developer’s project page, the building is introduced as a six-story development in Arjan for family-oriented living, with a curved facade, studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, and retail shops on the ground floor. The page lists the status label Available, the community Arjan and the price line in AED. Everything in this paragraph is the developer’s own wording, paraphrased, as read on 14 November 2026.

The page leaves several items unprinted. It gives no handover date, no payment plan, no unit sizes and no price for the one-bedroom or two-bedroom types; the floor plans show a balcony layout for each type but no areas. Where the building is described in numbers, the figures come from the developer’s project-facts sheet, from register data relayed by Property Index, and from broker pages, and each is dated in the tables below.

The developer recorded against the project in the Dubai Land Department (DLD) register is BINGHATTI DEVELOPERS FZE, according to Property Index. The group’s own press release is issued by Binghatti Holding Limited, which describes itself as trading as Binghatti. Which entity signs a purchase contract is something the contract itself names, and it is one of the items on the list of questions in section 9.

What each source prints about status, handover, floors, units, tenure and plan

For this building the same item is often printed in two or three forms. The tables here put the developer’s page and facts sheet first, then the DLD view as relayed by Property Index, Propsearch and Certified Poor, then broker pages. A difference between them is a dated difference between documents. It is not a statement that one document is wrong, and the guide does not rank them.

Two readings of the handover row deserve a plain statement. The developer prints no date, so every date in the table comes from a third party. The register view carries no date either, and Property Index words that as no handover date being on record.

The portals that print Q4 2026 and December 2026 do not say where the date comes from, and the Propsearch estimate was last updated on 27 August 2026. A written date in the sale contract is the document that fixes it, and it is the first item on the list in section 9.

The storeys row is a similar case. The sheet says B + G + 4 residential floors + roof. Counting ground plus four floors gives five levels above the basement, and counting the roof level as well gives six. The sources do not say which count the developer’s word six-story uses, and the guide leaves it open. The floor plan of a chosen unit shows the floor it sits on.

Tenure needs the same caution. The developer’s page does not use the word freehold or leasehold, and only one of the broker pages read uses freehold. Section 8 sets out the official rule that decides which areas of Dubai are open to foreign ownership, and the DLD property-status service is the place to check the area of the plot rather than rely on a label.

Status and prices today: the developer page against the register and the portals

The developer page and the register describe the same building in different ways. The page says Available. Property Index, which relays DLD records, lists 301 sale records against 396 registered units, and its list of the latest transactions runs to 11 November 2026. Neither fact says whether one particular studio or apartment is free today: the page label is project-wide, and a count of sale records is a count of transactions, not a stock list. The unit is confirmed in writing, not inferred from either.

On price the developer prints one figure. The project list card reads Starting AED 799,999 and the project page reads From 799,999, in both cases with the dirham symbol before the number and with the type line Studio, 1 BR, 2 BR beside it. The page does not say which unit type the figure belongs to, and it prints no price for the one-bedroom or the two-bedroom. Prices for those types appear only on broker pages.

The ezre.ae page presents its table as project data published by Binghatti, but the developer’s own page, read the same day, shows none of those per-type figures. The guide therefore labels them as broker indications. The Atlas range includes commercial units, which is why its upper end is far above the apartment figures.

Sale records in the register, 11 November 2026

Propsearch publishes the latest sale records from the DLD open-data directory, with floor, size and price. The seven records on its page are dated 11 November 2026 and are labelled off-plan. The size, the price and the price per sq ft below are as Propsearch prints them; the USD column and the m² column are calculated here. The DLD does not publish the unit number or the names of the parties.

Three plain observations follow from the table and from the developer’s line. The lowest studio record, AED 812,999, is AED 13,000 above the printed starting figure of AED 799,999. The studio records run from 361 to 382 sq ft, which sits inside the broker range for studios and well below the register’s upper bound of 746 sq ft quoted by Property Index.

And the records label some units as roof level, which fits the sheet’s mention of a roof in B + G + 4 + roof. They do not show what is on offer on any later day.

Certified Poor reports that the DLD register shows an escrow account for the project, open and registered in 2025. Both Certified Poor and Property Index are secondary relays of register data, so this guide uses Certified Poor for the escrow and handover lines only. The register itself, searched through the DLD services listed in section 8, is the primary view.

Reading the building: plot, storeys, a studio-led mix and three different unit counts

The developer’s project-facts sheet is the document that describes the shape of the building most fully. It gives the property type as residential and retail, the plot area as 11,090.47 m² (119,376.85 sq ft), the structure as basement, ground floor, four residential floors and a roof, and the apartment mix as 180 studios, 138 one-bedroom units and 4 two-bedroom units, a total of 322 residential units. Per the data file, the same sheet counts 28 ground-floor retail shops, so the sheet adds up to 350 units.

The DLD register, as relayed by Property Index, counts differently: 396 registered units in one building, made up of 207 studios, 157 one-bedroom units, 4 two-bedroom units and 28 shops. Propsearch speaks of an estimated 350 units, the same number as the developer’s two counts added together. Broker pages repeat 322 residential units, and one gives 24 shops instead of 28. The first table sets every count in one place.

The difference between the developer’s 350 and the register’s 396 is 46 units, and it sits entirely in the apartments: 27 more studios (207 against 180) and 19 more one-bedroom units (157 against 138). The shop count and the two-bedroom count are identical in both.

None of the pages explains the gap. A register can list units that a marketing sheet groups or omits, and a sheet can predate a later plan, but those are possible readings only, and no source says either. The contract plan for the chosen unit is the reference.

The shape is the same in both counts. More than half of the apartments are studios, nearly all of the rest are one-bedroom units, and the two-bedroom type is a handful. That is a building planned around compact units, and it also means the single printed starting price describes the most common type, not the largest. Anyone who needs two bedrooms is choosing from four units in either count, and the developer’s page prints no two-bedroom price at all.

What the plot area implies, as arithmetic only

Dividing the plot area by the number of units gives a rough gross figure, which includes the courtyard, landscaped areas, parking and access. It is not built-up area, not a density limit and not a measure of apartment size, because no source prints the built-up area. It shows only how differently the three counts spread the same land.

Sizes: no areas from the developer, wide ranges from the register

The floor-plan images on the developer’s page show a studio with a balcony, a one-bedroom with a long balcony and a two-bedroom with three balcony bays, and print no areas. Areas come from the register, via Property Index, and from brokers, whose figures are narrower and differ from each other. The conversions below use 0.092903 m² per sq ft and are calculated here, not printed by the sources.

Two points stand out. The register’s upper bound for studios, 746 sq ft, is nearly double the broker ceiling of 394, and its upper bound for one-bedroom units, 1,414 sq ft, is far above the brokers’ 913. No source explains the wide ends, which could reflect roof-level layouts or combined units, but that is not stated anywhere.

The seven sale records in section 3 sit at 361 to 382 sq ft for studios and 717 to 749 sq ft for one-bedroom units, in the lower part of the register range and close to the broker figures.

The practical conclusion is narrow. A buyer comparing two units in Binghatti Hillcrest Dubai should compare the area written in each sale contract, and ask how the area is measured. The Dubai law on the interim register, quoted in section 8, says that a sold unit’s area is taken as correct, with the developer owing compensation for a shortfall that is not inconsequential, so the area printed in the contract is the figure that matters.

Payment plans by source, and the arithmetic of a 10/40/50 schedule

Binghatti.com shows no payment plan for this building, while brokers print at least five different ones, and the differences are large: the share due at booking runs from 10 percent to 50 percent. One portal shows a header label that does not match the plan in its own body text. Two further broker pages carry plans tied to calendar dates in 2025 or to an offer end date, and they are left out as dated. The table lists the plans that are current on their pages.

The plans cannot all describe the same offer on the same day: the share due at booking is 10 percent on most pages, 20 percent on one, 50 percent on another and not stated by the developer. The schedule printed in the unit’s own sale contract is the only one that binds the parties. The table does not say that any of these plans is available, or that any has ended.

To show what the percentages mean, the next table applies three of the printed splits to the developer’s starting figure of AED 799,999. It is arithmetic, not a quotation: the developer prints no plan, and the starting figure is not tied to any unit type on the page. The figures are rounded to the nearest AED, and the USD amounts are calculated at 3.6725.

The 20/50/30 amounts match the AED 160,000, AED 400,000 and AED 240,000 that the ezre.ae page prints for its studio row. The percentages say nothing about timing. A plan that calls 40 percent due during construction does not say whether that is one payment, monthly instalments or milestones tied to the building, and the pages read do not tie any instalment to a construction stage. The schedule in the contract should list each instalment with its date or its trigger.

Registration costs sit on top of the plan. The DLD page for registering an initial sale lists 2 percent of the sale value for the seller and 2 percent for the purchaser, plus AED 10 as a knowledge fee and AED 10 as an innovation fee.

On AED 799,999, 2 percent is AED 15,999.98, about AED 16,000 or USD 4,357, and the two shares together are AED 31,999.96, about AED 32,000 or USD 8,713. Which party bears which fee is a term of the contract, so it belongs on the list in section 9.

Location of Binghatti Hillcrest Dubai: Arjan, Al Barsha South 3 and the distances printed

The developer places the building in Arjan, with access to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, Sheikh Zayed Road, Umm Suqeim Road and Hessa Street, and a short drive to Dubai Miracle Garden, Dubai Hills Mall and Al Barsha Mall. The page gives no minutes and no kilometres. The map on the page is a plain text search for the project name and Arjan, not a surveyed pin.

The area name changes with the source. The developer card says Arjan. Propsearch gives the DLD area as Al Barsha South 3, and Certified Poor titles it Arjan, Al Barsha South 3. Address lookups in OpenStreetMap, read on 14 November 2026, label Arjan, Dubai Miracle Garden, Dubai Butterfly Garden and the Australian International School Dubai as sector Al Barsha South 3, and City Centre Al Barsha as Al Barsha South. Several brokers file Arjan under Dubailand, per the data file.

Wikipedia describes Al Barsha as a district of western Dubai divided into five sectors, one of them Al Barsha South, and Dubai Miracle Garden as located in the district of Dubailand and launched on 14 February 2013. It dates the opening of Dubai Hills Mall to 17 February 2022 and that of Mall of the Emirates to November 2005. These are context for the names in the table, and not claims about the building.

One broker page places the building at Dubai Science Park. The developer’s own cards list Binghatti Hills, Hillside and Hillviews under Dubai Science Park and Hillcrest under Arjan, and the DLD area label is Al Barsha South 3. This guide therefore treats the Hills group and Hillcrest as separate buildings, and the table in section 10 links the siblings separately.

The distances need a stated method, because no developer or DLD coordinate exists. Three broker map embeds give points within about 30 metres of one another, around 25.0665 north and 55.2340 east. The straight-line figures below are calculated here from the first of them, 25.066455 and 55.233962, to the OpenStreetMap points of each landmark with the haversine formula. They are straight lines, not driving or walking routes, and they inherit the uncertainty of the broker point.

The two straight-line figures that can be compared agree with Property Index to the precision it prints: 0.87 against 0.9 km for City Centre Al Barsha, and 0.67 against 0.7 km for the school. That is a consistency check on the coordinate and nothing more.

The drive times differ where two brokers give a figure for the same place, 7 and 13 minutes to Circle Mall and 10 and 15 minutes to Mall of the Emirates, because no source says the time of day or the route.

Certified Poor describes Arjan as having no metro, and Property Index lists a metro station 6.9 km away in a straight line. The developer prints no transport time. A buyer who depends on public transport should measure the real route from the exact entrance at the hours of use, and should also ask the sales office for the planned bus or metro links in writing if the answer matters.

What the developer lists: facilities, finish and the building team

The facilities named on the developer’s project page are an adult pool, a kids’ pool with aqua play areas, a creative children’s playground, a jogging track, a yoga area, landscaped green spaces with walkways and benches, and a central family sitting zone. The developer’s project-facts sheet shows icons for sunken seating, seating areas, round-the-clock security with surveillance and smart-home features, per the data file. These are the developer’s lists; the page does not say which facilities are open at handover.

Several broker pages list further facilities that neither the page nor the sheet lists, so this guide does not treat them as part of the building. Only the developer’s list is used for the facilities field of this listing, and it contains a pool. The page also does not list the fittings, the kitchen appliances or the furnishing included in a unit; it speaks of high-end materials and smart-home features without a specification. The written specification for the chosen unit settles what is included.

Propsearch names the people and the value behind the construction. These items come from a single secondary source, and the developer’s page prints none of them, so they are shown with that attribution only.

Buying off-plan in Dubai: freehold areas, the 2 plus 2 percent fee, Oqood, escrow and the Golden Visa rule

Dubai sets the rules for an off-plan purchase through its land department and its own laws, and the official pages are the reference for them. The table states what those pages and law texts say, read on 14 November 2026, with the source on each row. Nothing here says that a rule applies to a particular unit in this building: that is checked with the authority named on the row, and the figures in older guides, including this site’s, are not repeated.

Three of these rows meet the facts about the building directly. On tenure, the developer’s page prints no word on freehold, and only one broker page uses it, so the plot’s area is checked in the DLD property-status service.

This site’s guides on freehold and leasehold in Dubai and on foreigners buying apartments in Dubai explain the terms in plain language. For a foreigner the general rule is the freehold-area rule above, and whether this plot sits in one is a fact for the DLD to confirm.

On registration and escrow, the data file records no DLD or RERA project number for the project, although the register names it Binghatti Hillcrest in area Al Barsha South 3. Certified Poor says an escrow account is open and registered in 2025, without the account number.

The sale contract should print the project number and the escrow bank and account name, and each can be checked in the Project Status Enquiry service before any payment. Payments belong in the escrow account the contract names, as Law No. 8 of 2007 describes. The guide to buying off-plan in Dubai sets out the stages in plain language.

On running costs, one broker page prints AED 15 per sq ft for the service charge. No developer page and no official page was found with a figure for this building, so the number is not adopted.

The DLD FAQ says the charge is approved by RERA and can be calculated from the index, and the contract or the seller can state the estimate. Annual property tax is covered with its own sources in the guide on property tax in Dubai, and this page restates no rate.

On residence, the AED 2,000,000 threshold equals about USD 544,588 at the peg. The developer’s starting figure of AED 799,999 and the register records of AED 812,999 to 1,349,999 are below that threshold, and the single AED 2,129,999 figure on a broker page for a two-bedroom unit is above it.

The UAE portal and the DLD service describe different permit lengths, 5 and 10 years, and this guide keeps both. No claim is made that any unit qualifies. The authority assesses each case, and the explainer on the Dubai Golden Visa covers the process, while the page on mortgages in Dubai for foreigners covers loans.

What to ask for in writing before reserving

Because the developer’s page, the register and the brokers each print something different for this building, the useful step is to ask for the missing item on paper from the seller before any payment. The list below follows the gaps found in the tables above, in the order a buyer usually meets them.

1. The sale and purchase agreement with the exact unit number, floor, type and area in sq ft and m², and how the area is measured.
2. The handover date written into the contract, what counts as handover, and the stage of the completion certificate on the day of signing.
3. The full payment schedule for that unit, with each instalment, its date or construction trigger, and the plan the percentages follow (10/40/50 and 20/50/30 both appear on broker pages).
4. Written confirmation that the specific unit is unsold and unreserved on the day of signing, because the page says Available while the register lists 301 sale records.
5. The escrow bank, account name and number, and confirmation that every payment goes only into that account.
6. The DLD project number and the area name for the plot, checked in the DLD project and property-status services.
7. Who signs: the full legal name and licence of the contracting entity (the register names BINGHATTI DEVELOPERS FZE) and the signatory’s authority.
8. Who pays the DLD registration shares, the Oqood registration and any administrative fee, and when each falls due.
9. The service-charge estimate for the unit from the RERA-approved index, the management company, and what the charge covers.
10. The written specification of the finish, kitchen appliances, smart-home items and any furnishing included.
11. The parking position: whether a bay is included, how many, and where, since one source speaks of a basement level used for parking.
12. The unit’s floor plan with the area printed on it, because the plans on the developer’s page show none.
13. The title deed process and timing after completion, and the name of the bank if a mortgage is used.

Each item can be checked against an official or primary document, and the table below says where. Any answer that comes only from a brochure, an advertisement or a message is worth confirming against the contract text.

How Binghatti Hillcrest Dubai sits among the other Binghatti projects and nearby Dubai listings

The Binghatti project list card for each building prints a community, a starting figure and the unit types. The table shows the cards of seven Binghatti buildings in nearby communities and in the same name family, as read on the Binghatti project list on 14 November 2026, with the USD figure calculated at 3.6725. Each name links to the guide for that building on this site. The buildings are separate projects, and no sentence in one guide is repeated for another.

Among these eight cards the printed starting figures run from AED 674,999 to AED 800,000, and the Hillcrest figure of AED 799,999 is one dirham below the Hillviews figure. The cards do not say which unit type the figure belongs to, and the unit types differ, since Hillside lists only studios and one-bedroom units, so the numbers are not like for like.

Hillviews and Hillside are listed under Dubai Science Park, a different community label from Arjan, and the guides treat them as neighbouring name family members rather than as the same project.

Other Dubai listings on this site that sit in Arjan are collected below, with the developer and the status words from each listing’s own title. They are context only. They are not offered as comparisons of quality, and nothing in the table says one building is better than another. The overview of developers is on the page for Dubai developers, and the broader market notes are in the Dubai real estate market guide.

For the wider picture, the pages for Dubai and the UAE list every Dubai and UAE guide published here, in one place.

Binghatti Developers (developer)

Binghatti trades as Binghatti Developers, and the group company named in its releases is Binghatti Holding Limited. The About page of binghatti.com credits Dr. Hussain Binghatti with starting the business in 2008 and naming it for his late father, Ghatti Bin Ghaeb; the page also names the founder, the chairman, the vice-chairman and the chief executive officer.

A press release dated 12 November 2026 describes the group as a vertically integrated real estate developer established in 2008, combining in-house design, development, construction and delivery. It gives a portfolio of more than 100 projects valued at more than AED 100 billion and nearly 60 completed developments, and it names five projects completed in 2026: Binghatti Apex, Ghost, Ivory, Haven and Grove, with about 2,600 units handed over.

Other Binghatti documents word the portfolio differently. Per the data file, another page on binghatti.com speaks of over 50 delivered developments, so the figures above are tied to the date of the release. The site footer prints Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai as the address. All of this is the company’s own statement and none of it is checked independently in this guide.

Frequently asked questions

Where is Binghatti Hillcrest Dubai and which area name is right?

The developer’s card and page say Arjan. Propsearch gives the DLD area as Al Barsha South 3, and one broker page says Dubai Science Park. The guide shows the names side by side without choosing one. The DLD property-status service and the plot details in the contract settle the area for a chosen unit.

How many units does the building have?

The developer’s facts sheet counts 322 residential units and, per the data file, 28 shops; its FAQ says over 322. The DLD register, via Property Index, lists 396 registered units, and Propsearch estimates 350. No page explains the gap, so the guide leaves the total open and shows each count.

What does Binghatti Hillcrest Dubai cost?

The developer prints Starting AED 799,999, about USD 217,835 at 3.6725, with no unit type. Broker pages print AED 1,299,999 for a one-bedroom and AED 2,129,999 for a two-bedroom. Seven registered records dated 11 November 2026 run from AED 812,999 to AED 1,349,999. A dated price list for the chosen unit is the document to ask for.

When is Binghatti Hillcrest Dubai due for handover?

The developer prints no date. Portals print Q4 2026 or December 2026, and Property Index says no handover date is on record in the DLD project register. Each of these is a dated statement by a third party, so the date written in the sale contract is the one that matters.

Are units still available?

The developer page carries the label Available. Property Index lists 301 sale records against 396 registered units. Neither fact settles the position of one unit. Written confirmation that the exact unit is unsold and unreserved, on the day of signing, is the safe route.

Which payment plan applies?

The developer prints none. Broker pages print 10/40/50, 20/50/30, 50/20/30 and 20/80, and one page shows a 10/90 label next to a 10/40/50 body. The schedule in the unit’s contract binds the parties, and it should list each instalment with a date or trigger.

Can a foreigner buy here, and does the Golden Visa apply to Binghatti Hillcrest Dubai?

Dubai allows foreign ownership in areas designated as freehold, and the DLD property-status service shows whether a plot is in one. The Golden Visa route cites AED 2,000,000 of property, about USD 544,588. No claim is made for any unit here; the authority decides each application.

Which fees apply at registration?

The DLD page for registering an initial sale lists 2 percent for the seller and 2 percent for the purchaser, plus AED 10 and AED 10 in two small fees. On AED 799,999, 2 percent is AED 15,999.98. The contract states who pays which share.

What facilities does the developer list?

The developer lists an adult pool, a kids’ pool with aqua play areas, a children’s playground, a jogging track, a yoga area, landscaped green spaces with walkways and benches, and a central family sitting zone. Which are open at handover is not stated on the page.

What should be checked before reserving?

Ask in writing for the unit number and area, the handover date, the full payment schedule, the escrow bank and account, the DLD project number, the contracting entity and the finish specification. Section 9 lists thirteen items, and the DLD services in section 8 let a buyer check several of them directly.
