Hillside Residences 3 at Wasl Gate

Four buildings rise across the cluster, 6, 7, 9, and 10 stories, housing 306 freehold homes from 1 BR apartments at AED 1.09 M (~₹2.86 Cr) to 4 BR Sky Villas at AED 5.67 M (~₹14.9 Cr at AED 1 = ₹26.2, May 2026). Handover is scheduled for Q4 2027.

The Residences From 829 Sq.Ft Apartments to 4,052 Sq.Ft Sky Villas

Hillside Residences 3 spreads the widest unit ladder in the Wasl Gate master community. The four buildings A, C, D, and E  house 1 BR apartments (829 sq.ft), 2 BR apartments (1,221–1,316 sq ft), 3 BR apartments (1,693–1,975 sq.ft), 2 BR duplexes, 2 and 3 BR penthouses, and 3 and 4 BR Sky Villas reaching 4,052 sq.ft.

Every unit ships with neutral palette interiors, floor-to-ceiling glazing, generous balconies and dedicated parking. The two-level configurations, duplexes, penthouses, and Sky Villas include a maid's room and an extended terrace, giving Middle East and NRI family buyers the horizontal-living feel without the cost of a standalone villa.

Community Life-The 82,700 Sq.M Central Park and Festival Plaza on Your Doorstep

Wasl Gate is a 1.13 million sq m master community in Jebel Ali First. The community already has the Central Park at Wasl Gate 82,700 sq.m, opened in April 2026, accessible to all residents and the public. It is one of the largest parks ever built inside a Dubai residential community (What's On Dubai), with jogging and cycling tracks, sports courts, a skate park, a dedicated dog park, and an amphitheater-style events lawn.

Festival Plaza Mall is a 3-minute drive away, anchored by IKEA and ACE Hardware, the first such stores in the south of Dubai. Inside the Hillside cluster itself, residents share landscaped courtyards, swimming pools, kids' play areas, a community gym, BBQ pavilions, and a basketball court.

None of this is a render. It is built and operational on the date of inquiry.

The Investment Case  Verified DLD Yield, Verified DLD Transactions

Wasl Gate runs at 9.1% gross rental yield across 1,448 DLD-registered sales (UAE Calc, 2026)  among the highest in any Dubai mid-market community. Property Finder reports a blended community yield of 7.47% across all property types, with 1 BR units outperforming due to tenant demand from JAFZA, DMCC and Expo City professionals. The community average price stands at AED 1,365 per sq.ft.

DLD pre-registration transactions inside Hillside Residences 3 between November 2025 and April 2026 cleared at AED 1,231–1,410 per sq.ft at or slightly below the community average, which is the structural advantage of entering during the construction window. For an NRI buyer entering at AED 1.09 M (₹2.86 Cr) on the 1 BR, the projected gross rental is AED 99,000 per year (~₹26 Lacs) at a community-average yield, before the AED 2 M+ tier becomes Golden Visa-eligible.

As our team puts it: "In Wasl Gate, do not chase the brochure yield,  pull the actual DLD transactions for the building you are buying. The numbers either match or they do not. With Wasl, they match.

Living in Jebel Ali  Metro at 10 Minutes, Marina at 16, Two Airports Within Half an Hour

Hillside Residences 3 sits in Jebel Ali First, off Sheikh Zayed Road (E11). The Energy Metro Station on Dubai Metro's Red Line is a 10-minute walk from the operational station, not planned. Dubai Marina is a 16-minute drive, Palm Jumeirah is a 15-minute drive, and Dubai Mall is a 23-minute drive.

Al Maktoum International Airport (the new global hub under expansion) is 27 minutes away; Dubai International Airport (DXB) is 31 minutes away. Ghaf Private School (British, 'Very Good' KHDA rating) is 0.4 km away. Delhi Private School Dubai (Indian curriculum, 'Very Good' KHDA rating) is 1.8 km. The Winchester School is 1.9 km.

For a working professional, this means a metro commute to JLT or Al Quoz in under 25 minutes. For a family, this means a school corridor within walking distance and a mall within a 3-minute drive.

Wasl Properties: Why Government-Backed Matters at This Price Band

Wasl Properties was established in 2008 by the Dubai Real Estate Corporation (DREC), a Government of Dubai entity. The portfolio manages 47,000+ residential and commercial units across Al Barsha, Jumeirah, Al Wasl, Karama, Jebel Ali, and beyond. Post-2020 on-time delivery record: 95%. Portfolio occupancy: 98% (a.land, December 2025).
At the mid-market price band, the single largest off-plan risk is developer slippage. Handover delays of 12–18 months are common with private developers, and that slippage compounds into lost rental cycles. The DREC backing materially de-risks Hillside Residences 3 at this band.

Allocation Is Open Now - Q4 2027 Handover, Two Construction Years of Appreciation Left

Construction commenced in January 2024. Phase 1 of the wider Hillside Residences master sold out in 4 hours at launch in November 2023. Hillside 3 buildings are tracking the same demand curve, with DLD transactions clearing at AED 1,231–1,410 per sq.ft today, and roughly two construction years remaining before the Q4 2027 handover.

Active inventory spans the 1 BR at AED 1.09 M entry tier through to the 4 BR Sky Villa at 4,052 sq.ft and AED 5.67 M  the upper end crossing the AED 2 M Golden Visa threshold by a wide margin. A short call with our team will confirm the live unit list, the specific DLD transaction sheet for the floor and configuration you are evaluating, and the projected Q4 2027 rental analysis in INR or your preferred base currency.
