Collective

Collective is a purpose-built apartment development by Emaar within Dubai Hills Estate, aimed at first-time buyers and investors seeking affordable entry into one of Dubai's most established master-planned communities. The project is delivered in phases — Collective 1 and Collective 2 Tower A and B — with studios, one-bed, and two-bed layouts.

Location & connectivity

Collective sits inside Dubai Hills Estate, with direct access via Al Khail Road (E44), placing it roughly a 15-min drive from Downtown Dubai and DIFC. The Dubai Hills Metro Station (Etihad Metro Line 2, under development) is planned to serve the broader community, improving connectivity when complete. Mall of the Emirates is approximately a 10-min drive; Dubai Marina around 20 minutes.

Things to consider

Collective's units are compact and density is relatively high, so it suits investors and single occupants more than families needing space. Parking and elevator wait times can be stretched during peak hours given the number of units per tower.
