Skyhills Residences 3

About Skyhills Residences 3

Skyhills Residences 3 is the most accessible building in the HRE portfolio: two towers, 18 residential floors, studios to two-bedroom apartments, from AED 708,000 with a 20% down payment. It is a straightforward, well-specified JVC apartment building priced for first-time buyers and yield investors rather than for the top of the market.

The design detail worth noting is the curved, terraced facade with planted balconies on the podium levels — at the renders it reads as a building that has spent money on its appearance, which is not universal in JVC — and a genuine claim that matters here: the site is within walking distance of the planned JVC metro station on the Blue Line.

What to weigh. First, the metro. A Blue Line station at JVC would be a material change for the whole district, and being walkable to it is the strongest long-term argument for buying in this building rather than one of its neighbours. But it is a future station, on a line still under construction, and the walk from this specific plot to the specific station entrance is something you should measure rather than accept.

Second, the product. Studios to two-beds only — no three-beds, no duplexes. That keeps the entry price down and narrows the buyer and tenant pool to singles, couples and small families. It also means this building is competing head-on with the largest supply segment in Dubai, so finish and furnishing are what will let it outperform.

Third, the numbers. At AED 708,000 with 20% down, you are committing roughly AED 142,000 in cash. Ask what the fit-out, service charge and DLD fee add on top, and get the current construction percentage in writing rather than relying on either figure on the developer’s page.

Fourth, the comparison. Skyhills 2 is next door with 509 units including duplexes and is 85% built; Skyhills 3 is at roughly two-thirds and hands over later. If you want a home sooner, compare the two directly — the price difference is smaller than the delivery difference.

Compiled November 2026 from HRE Development’s Skyhills Residences 3 page (towers and floors, unit types, from AED 708,000, 20% down payment, Q4 2026, 67.3% and 58.49% progress figures, the facade and podium planting, proximity to the planned JVC metro station) and the listing portal’s record (price, handover, payment plan), which differs on both price and date.

Homes, sizes and price

HRE publishes the entry price and the unit types but not a size schedule per bedroom count.

At AED 708,000 the studio is the volume product, and the first question is size: JVC studios range from around 380 to 520 sq ft and the price per square foot varies accordingly. Ask for the schedule before you compare it with anything else.

The two-bedroom is the second question. In a building of this type the two-bed is the family and sharer product, and rent per bedroom usually works out better than for a studio. Ask what the two-bed costs and what the passport of the largest units is.

Price and payment plan

HRE quotes a 20% down payment. The portal records a 10/20/20 + 50 structure, which does not reconcile with a 20% down payment unless the portal is describing a different launch phase.

On AED 708,000, the difference between a 10% and a 20% reservation is AED 70,800. Ask which applies to the unit you are being offered, and get it in the sale and purchase agreement.

A 50% payment at handover is heavier than the market average, so if the portal structure is right, plan the cash flow around it rather than around the down payment alone.

Amenities

HRE’s emphasis for Skyhills 3 is the building itself: a curved, terraced facade with planted balconies, a double-height lobby and a pool deck with views over JVC. The apartment specification follows the HRE standard — fully furnished options, built-in appliances, floor-to-ceiling glazing.

Ask for the full amenity list in the brochure rather than the highlights, and specifically whether the gym, pool and children’s play area are in this building or shared with Skyhills 2 next door. Shared facilities are fine, but they change what the service charge pays for.

The podium planting is a genuine benefit in JVC — the district is hot and hard-surfaced, and greenery on the lower levels makes the building cooler and quieter than a plain tower on a road.

Where it is

Skyhills Residences 3 is in Jumeirah Village Circle, close to Skyhills 2 and within walking distance of the planned JVC metro station on the Blue Line. JVC sits between Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, Al Khail Road and Hessa Street, which is what makes the district convenient by car: Dubai Hills Mall, Sports City and the Marina are all short drives.

Today, the district is car-dependent. The metro claim is important precisely because it is the exception — a genuine walkable station would change rents and resale values across JVC, and proximity to it is worth paying something for, but not worth paying a premium for on the assumption it opens on time.

Test the walk yourself. Distance to a station entrance is not the same as distance to the plot boundary, and in a district of circular roads the actual walking route can be much longer than the map suggests.
