Designed to be Dubais first fully-integrated green city within a city, Dubai Hills Estate, the joint venture of Emaar Properties and Meraas Holding located in Mohammed Bin Rashid City (MBR City), has unveiled Maple, its first townhouse community.

Surrounded by parkland and with a central green boulevard, an extensive choice of high-end retail, several community and neighbourhood parks, and a sweeping expanse of nature trails, Dubai Hills Estate is also centrally located in easy proximity of Downtown Dubai and Al Maktoum International Airport. A luxury 18-hole golf course, dedicated link to the Dubai Metro expansion, two world-class hotels and a tennis academy are also part of the master-planned community.

Thoughtfully designed to assure residents an active outdoor lifestyle with homes set in immaculately landscaped gardens and green walkways, the 118 townhouses will feature three, four and five bedrooms that will appeal to end-user families and investors.

Potential investors can register interest for the Maple townhouses at www.emaar.com, with the sales launch to be held on April 25, 2015 at 8:30am on a first-come, first-served basis in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The sales launch in Dubai will be held at the Emaar Pavilion on Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard in Downtown Dubai, and in Abu Dhabi at the Emaar Sales Centre, Al Nahda Tower.

Ahmad Al Matrooshi, Managing Director of Emaar Properties, said: Dubai Hills Estate is an iconic development that will serve as an inspiring green getaway destination right in the heart of the city. A connected city within a city that focuses on living in harmony with nature, it is one of the ambitious mega-developments in Dubai that is centrally located. Maple, the first townhouse community, is placed to the west side of the development, bringing an extraordinary lifestyle choice to all residents.

Assuring a premium lifestyle with spacious homes that range in area from 2,200 to 2,700 sq ft, Maple townhouses are defined by a modern and contemporary architectural style. Potential investors can choose from different floor plans and layouts, with all residences to have quality finishes as standard.

A distinguishing feature of the Maple community is the green corridor that connects the residences with green parks, a mosque, a day care centre and a retail centre in addition to jogging and cycling trails, fitness stations and shaded areas with seating benches.

Designed for families, Maple townhouses reflect Emaars world-class standards in design, and are developed to high standards in project management. Adding to the convenience of residents, are educational institutions and healthcare facilities.

Emaar is offering long-term investors and end-users the opportunity to register for the Emaar Preferred Access programme, also at www.emaar.com. Investors who make a down payment of 30 per cent of the total value of the property and maintain ownership until hand-over is completed will be offered preferred access and the opportunity to own homes, subject to conditions, through this new customer-oriented initiative. Interested investors and end-users can also skip the line and register for the programme even on the day of the launch. Skip the line avoids the need for waiting in the regular queues for property purchases or early registrations.

More information on the project is also available through the new Online Sales Centre feature on Emaars e-Services App that can be downloaded on iPads and iPhones. Potential customers can use the App to register interest and even reserve the home for a period of five calendar days.
