About The Community
Dubai's Most Prestigious Address
Emirates Hills, often called the "Beverly Hills of Dubai," is an ultra-luxury gated community developed by Emaar around the Montgomerie Golf Club, an 18-hole championship course designed by Colin Montgomerie. Unlike template-built communities such as The Meadows or Arabian Ranches, Emirates Hills is defined by custom-built, architect-designed mansions on some of the largest villa plots and built-up areas anywhere in Dubai — many exceeding 20,000 sq ft of plot and 10,000 to 30,000 sq ft of built-up space.
Each mansion here was individually commissioned by its original owner, working with private architects, which means no two properties follow the same layout or specification. Most were built during the community's initial development phase in the early to mid-2000s, and while the architecture remains striking, interior specifications from that era — technology integration, wellness spaces, kitchen and bathroom standards — increasingly fall short of what today's ultra-luxury market expects.
This is Crownstone's flagship-tier market. Renovation here typically means larger budgets, longer programmes, and genuinely bespoke architectural collaboration — not a standard renovation package applied to a larger house. It sits alongside the waterfront luxury of Palm Jumeirah and the golf-course living of Dubai Hills Estate as the top end of what we build across Dubai.

The Standard We Bring to Every Flagship Project
We don't yet have a photographed case study inside Emirates Hills, and we won't pretend otherwise — but our process and standard of finish are consistent across every project we deliver. Our completed Palmera 4 villa renovation in Arabian Ranches involved a full open-plan conversion, bespoke kitchen with Sub-Zero and Miele appliances, complete bathroom rebuilds, and a new pool and pergola — one contractor, one contract, from design to handover.
For an Emirates Hills mansion, that same discipline is scaled up and paired with bespoke architectural collaboration, longer-format project management, and the discretion protocols high-net-worth homeowners expect throughout construction.
- Full-scope structural, MEP and interior renovation experience
- Bespoke architectural collaboration for custom-built properties
- Discretion protocols for high-net-worth homeowners
- Single point of accountability from design to handover
What You Need to Know
Renovating in Emirates Hills — Community Specifics
The Emaar NOC and Approval Process
Like Arabian Ranches, Emirates Hills is managed by Emaar Community Management, and structural, external or extension works require their NOC alongside a Dubai Municipality building permit. Given the bespoke, larger-scale nature of most projects here, Crownstone allows additional time for structural engineering review, architectural design approval, and Emaar's community aesthetic sign-off — typically 8 to 12 weeks before construction begins on a substantial renovation.
Privacy and Security During Construction
Discretion is central to how we operate in Emirates Hills. Site access is controlled and vetted, project details remain confidential, delivery logistics are coordinated to minimise visibility from neighbouring properties, and a single dedicated project manager is your point of contact throughout — so you are never fielding questions from multiple contractors or trades.
Most Commonly Requested Upgrades
Across enquiries in Emirates Hills, the most frequent requests are: full interior modernisation while retaining the original architectural envelope, wellness and spa-level bathroom additions, home cinema and smart home integration, and golf-course-facing outdoor living upgrades including pool renovation and covered terraces. Kitchen replacements to true chef-grade specification are also consistently requested.
Bespoke Architectural Considerations
Because every Emirates Hills mansion was custom-designed, there is no standard renovation template to apply. Crownstone begins each project with a detailed structural and architectural survey of the existing building, working alongside your architect (or ours, where required) to ensure any structural changes, extensions or layout revisions are engineered correctly before submission to Emaar and DM.
