From the current developer availability list. Prices are the full unit price, not a per-payment figure.

| Level | Unit sizes | Price range | Typical per sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ground, Podium 1, Podium 2 | 589 – 6,082 sq ft | AED 3,961,000 – 30,415,000 | AED 2,700 – 3,600 |
Dubai Science Park, Al Barsha South 2 — directly opposite Dubai Hills Estate.
Two symmetrical towers of 38 floors on a three-level podium.
The post-handover plan is the real draw. A 60/40 split with a substantial portion payable after you take the keys means you can be earning rent while still paying. That is a materially different cash-flow profile from a standard construction-linked plan. See our guide to comparing payment plans.
Furnished delivery removes a real cost. Fitting out a one-bedroom to a lettable standard runs tens of thousands of dirhams and delays your first tenant. Included here. See our furnishing guide.
Dubai Science Park has an existing employment base. Unlike corridors betting on future infrastructure, the district already has companies and staff in it — which supports rental demand from day one rather than in a decade.
A three-floor mall sits inside the development. Astra Square occupies the ground floor and both podium levels — not a strip of units, an actual retail floorplate under the towers. For a resident that means shops and food downstairs. For an investor it means built-in footfall for the retail units, and an amenity that supports apartment rents.
The developer shows a metro station directly adjacent, with a bridge into the podium. If it is built, this becomes one of very few Dubai Science Park buildings with walking-distance rail. But the RTA has not confirmed that station or the route. Treat it as upside if it happens, not as something you are paying for today — and do not let anyone price it into the unit for you.
The corner one-bedroom is genuinely well priced relative to everything else in the building, as the table above shows.
The studios are sold out. Marketing material across the internet still advertises studios from around AED 750,000. Every one has been sold — the current availability sheet contains 131 residential units and the smallest is an 855 sq ft one-bedroom at AED 1,580,000. If you came here expecting a sub-million entry point, that window has closed.
Most units miss the Golden Visa threshold. Not one of the 45 standard one-bedrooms reaches AED 2 million. Only 21 of the 74 corner one-bedrooms do. If residency is part of your reason for buying, the unit has to be chosen for it deliberately. See our Golden Visa guide.
The stock is heavily concentrated in one-bedrooms. 119 of the 131 available units are one-beds. When the towers complete, you will be letting — and later reselling — against a large number of near-identical apartments in the same two buildings. Price and position matter more than usual here. See our off-plan resale guide.
Published information about this project is unreliable. Portals list entry prices from AED 660,000 to AED 891,000 — less than half the real figure. Floor counts still say 36 when the towers are 38. Handover dates still say 2027 when the registered completion is June 2028. Verify everything against the developer sheet and the DLD record, not a listing page.
Service charges are not yet RERA-approved and cannot be until the towers complete. A building with two pools, a padel court, a business centre, a 500-metre podium and a retail mall is not cheap to run, and owners fund it. See our service charges guide.
Note the Dubai Cares element for what it is. HRE has pledged AED 30 million to education initiatives and buyers receive a certificate. It is a genuine commitment and a good thing — but it is not a financial return and should not factor into your investment maths.

June 2028, per the officially registered completion date with the Dubai Land Department. Some third-party listings still show Q2 2027 — the DLD date is the one to plan around.
