Payment Plan — 80/20
On booking: plus DLD registration of 4% of the net price and the AED 3,000 Oqood fee
This plan is front-loaded — 20% is due within the first month, then instalments roughly every six months through construction: 80% is paid by month 40, before keys. That is the standard Emaar structure, not a promotional offer, and it is the honest trade-off of buying the market's most liquid developer name. Only the final 20% is typically financeable. Schedule shown is taken from an official Emaar sales offer.

Layouts & Specifications
No townhouses here: the 3 Bed is the entry standalone — figures of AED 2.1–2.5M still circulating on some portals are stale pre-launch data and do not reflect current inventory.
Plots and layouts: plots run larger than the built-up area across every type, and released units can carry plots well above the entry figures. All bedrooms are en-suite across all types; the 4BR includes a rooftop variant and the 5BR comes in two layouts.
Clusters: inventory is consistent across the three launch clusters — Serro, Serro 2 and Salva.
About This Project
The Heights Country Club & Wellness is Emaar's mid-sized standalone villa community, positioned between Emirates Road and Al Yalayis Road in Dubai's southern growth corridor — deliberately mid-sized by Emaar's standards, and designed around a single organising idea: wellness.
ClusterSerro
Standalone villas with private pools and rooftop terraces, in the community's Mediterranean-inspired language of whitewashed facades and warm terracotta tones.
ClusterSerro 2
The second Serro release, carrying the same villa inventory and design language across the three, four and five-bedroom types.
ClusterSalva
Framed around nature trails, outdoor gyms and meditation areas, with the same Mediterranean palette and villa line-up.
The homes are exclusively standalone villas in three, four and five-bedroom configurations, from 3,400 to 5,800 sq ft of built-up area — and, unusually for Dubai at this price point, every type sits on a freehold plot larger than the house itself, from 3,800 to 6,800 sq ft. Every bedroom is en-suite.
Prices open at AED 6,762,888 for the three-bedroom, AED 8.30M for the four-bedroom, and rise to AED 11.30M for the five-bedroom. Current inventory is consistent across the three launch clusters — Serro, Serro 2 and Salva.
The communityBuilt around a wellness hub
At the centre sits the wellness hub — a wellness centre with meandering waterways, reflective pools, studios and garden sanctuaries — surrounded by a meditation garden, a wellness lake and promenade, a yoga lake, and a private beach for residents. Around it, the master plan layers a linear park, community pools, sports facilities including padel, indoor and outdoor gyms, playscapes and community retail. Hospitals, schools and retail are planned within the community.
The developerThe Emaar name
Emaar, founded in 1997, has delivered more than 125,000 homes and built many of Dubai's defining destinations — Downtown, Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, Dubai Marina, Emirates Living and Arabian Ranches. Handover at The Heights is set for 2030, with completion estimated for July 2030.
Our Honest Take
No listing-site gloss. This is how we read The Heights by Emaar for our own clients — including who should walk away.
Our view at NARVA: this is one of the best mid-sized standalone villa communities in Dubai right now — for the buyer who can carry the payment plan.
Three things drive the case. First, the name. Emaar is the most in-demand developer in both the primary and resale markets, and it consistently overdelivers; that demand is what you are buying alongside the villa. Second, the space equation. The Heights gives you a big house and an even bigger plot — plots exceed the built-up area on every single type, and plot size is one of the main keys to capital gain: larger plots consistently outperform on resale. Very few Dubai communities at this price offer that ratio. Third, the layouts: every bedroom is en-suite, across all three villa types.
This is Emaar's standard 80/20 — 80% paid over four years to handover, with 20% on handover, and only the handover portion available to finance. There is no soft entry here: on the AED 6.76M three-bedroom, you will pay around AED 5.4M before you receive keys. If the schedule is too tough, other communities may suit you better, and we will say so and show you the alternatives. If you can manage it, this is your best pick in the mid-sized villa bracket by far.
Established families and long-hold investors who want the safest developer name, land under their villa, and a wellness-led community in Dubai's southern corridor. It is not for buyers who need a light construction-phase cash flow, or a handover sooner than 2030.
Location
The Heights sits between two of Dubai's most important arteries — Emirates Road (E611) and Al Yalayis Road — in the emirate's southern growth corridor, near the communities defining Dubai's next decade: Grand Polo, The Oasis, Expo Living and Emaar South. Being on two major roads means the coast is a straight drive: Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali and Dubai Marina are all directly reachable without crossing the city.
The near anchors are the ones that matter daily. Expo City Dubai and Al Maktoum International Airport are each 10 minutes away — relevant not just for travel, but because Dubai's economic centre of gravity is shifting toward exactly this quadrant. Dubai Hills Estate is 20 minutes, Dubai Marina and Jebel Ali Free Zone 25 minutes, and Downtown Dubai 30 minutes.
By handover in 2030, the community is planned to hold its own hospitals, schools, retail and the country-club wellness core — the small-town model, where daily life happens inside the master plan.
About EMAAR
Emaar Properties, founded in 1997, is the developer whose projects define Dubai's skyline: Downtown Dubai, Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall and the Fountain, Dubai Marina, Emirates Living and Arabian Ranches.
The company reported AED 35.5B in revenue and AED 17.5B net profit in FY 2024 — by market capitalisation, the largest listed developer outside China.
Why it matters at resale: the Emaar name carries the strongest demand of any Dubai developer, which is why Emaar communities consistently lead the emirate's transaction tables.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the starting price at The Heights by Emaar?
Standalone villas at The Heights Country Club & Wellness start at AED 6,762,888 for a three-bedroom of 3,400 sq ft, AED 8.30M for a four-bedroom, and AED 11.30M for a five-bedroom. Prices of AED 2.1–2.5M still shown on some portals are stale pre-launch data — there are no townhouses in current inventory.
What is the payment plan for The Heights by Emaar?
Emaar's standard 80/20: 80% across roughly four years of construction and 20% on handover, which can be financed. The official schedule runs 10% on booking, 10% a month later, then an instalment roughly every six months — 10% each, with two 5% steps mid-construction — until 80% is paid by month 40. DLD's 4% fee plus AED 3,000 Oqood is payable on purchase.
When will The Heights by Emaar be completed?
Handover is set for 2030, with completion estimated for July 2030. As with any off-plan project this is an estimate, but Emaar's delivery record across more than 125,000 homes is the strongest liquidity signal in the Dubai market.
Where exactly is The Heights located?
Between Emirates Road (E611) and Al Yalayis Road in Dubai's southern corridor, near Grand Polo and The Oasis. Expo City and Al Maktoum International Airport are 10 minutes away, Dubai Hills Estate 20 minutes, Dubai Marina and Jebel Ali Free Zone 25 minutes, and Downtown Dubai 30 minutes. Some portals label it Dubai Investment Park or Dubailand — the Emirates Road–Al Yalayis corridor is the accurate anchor.
Can foreigners buy at The Heights by Emaar?
Yes. The Heights is a freehold community, so buyers of any nationality can own their villa and its plot outright with a title deed — there is no leasehold structure and no local-partner requirement. Off-plan purchases are registered through Oqood with the Dubai Land Department during construction.
Is The Heights by Emaar a good investment?
The case rests on the two most reliable value drivers in Dubai villas: the Emaar name — the most in-demand developer in both primary and resale markets — and land. Every villa type sits on a freehold plot larger than the house itself, and larger plots consistently outperform on resale. The trade-off is the front-loaded 80/20 plan, which suits buyers with steady liquidity rather than leverage-dependent investors.
Does buying at The Heights qualify for a UAE Golden Visa?
Property purchases of AED 2M or more can qualify a buyer for the UAE's 10-year Golden Visa, and every villa at The Heights starts well above that threshold. Off-plan purchases can qualify subject to the prevailing rules on payment and registration status; we advise confirming current requirements at the time of purchase.
What are the service charges at The Heights?
Service charges at The Heights are expected to be around AED 4 per sq ft per year — the low villa band, and far below the 15–30 AED common in apartment towers. On the 3,400 sq ft entry villa, that is roughly AED 13,600 a year. We will confirm the final published rate at handover.
What villa types and sizes are available at The Heights?
Three, four and five-bedroom standalone villas only — no townhouses or apartments. Built-up areas run 3,400 sq ft (3BR) to 5,800 sq ft (5BR), on plots of 3,800 to 6,800 sq ft that exceed the built-up area on every type. The 4BR includes a rooftop variant, the 5BR comes in two layouts, and every bedroom is en-suite.
What amenities will The Heights Country Club & Wellness have?
The community is built around a central wellness hub — a wellness centre with waterways, reflective pools and studios — plus a meditation garden, wellness lake and promenade, yoga lake, and a private beach for residents. The wider plan holds 25% open space across 7.5 million sq m, with a linear park, community pools, padel and sports facilities, gyms, playscapes, retail, schools and hospitals.
Which clusters are launched at The Heights?
Three clusters have launched: Serro, Serro 2 and Salva, all in the community's Mediterranean-inspired design language of whitewashed facades and terracotta tones, and all carrying the same villa inventory. Serro's villas feature private pools and rooftop terraces; Salva is framed around nature trails, outdoor gyms and meditation areas.
Who is the developer of The Heights?
Emaar Properties, founded in 1997 — the developer behind Downtown Dubai, Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, Dubai Marina, Emirates Living and Arabian Ranches, with more than 125,000 homes delivered and over 50,000 under development. By market capitalisation (AED 114B, FY 2024), Emaar describes itself as the largest listed developer outside China.
