The developer is Emaar Properties. The architecture is by Rider Levett Bucknall.
The tallest tower rises 14 storeys. Layouts, according to the developer's brochure — 1 and 2 bedrooms.
The database currently holds 3 lots in this project, from 1,240,000 AED.
Fourteen storeys by Emaar in Dubai Hills Estate, handed over in 2023. Compact units of about 686 sq ft — the district's most affordable format.
What it is
Socio is a 14-storey residential complex by Emaar in Dubai Hills Estate, handed over in 2023.
Our own stock has four listings averaging around 686 sq ft at AED 2,815/ft².
686 sq ft means studios and compact one-bedrooms. In a district where the median lot costs AED 3.62 million, this format gives a noticeably lower entry point.
Price per square foot across Dubai Hills Estate projects
Compact units naturally price higher per square foot: Socio at AED 2,815, Parkside Views at AED 2,434 on 935 sq ft, versus the spacious Maple at AED 1,951 on 2,992 sq ft.

Cheaper apartment, pricier square foot
Dubai Hills Estate in our database: 174 lots, median AED 3.62 million at an average AED 2,706/ft².
A rule worth keeping in mind for any comparison: the apartment's price and its price per square foot move in opposite directions. A compact unit is cheaper to buy and pricier per square foot — twice as pricey as a large villa in the same district.
For a rental play, that works in the buyer's favour: yield is calculated on the lot price, and a tenant pays for the apartment, not the square footage. For living in it yourself, it works against you: you pay a premium on every square foot.
propsearch factsheet: 14 storeys, developer Emaar Properties, handover 2023. Our own stock as of 28 August 2026: 4 lots (area, price per square foot), figures for Parkside Views and Maple, and the median and average for Dubai Hills Estate.
Socio was sold by the floor before individual apartments were released — no 2% commission, and you choose the layout and the view. It was originally called Collective 3.0, which tells you exactly what the interiors will be.
