About Hilliana Tower
Hilliana Tower is a 31-storey residential building in Acacia Avenues, part of the Sufouh Gardens masterplan in Al Sufouh, jointly developed by Abyaar Real Estate and Naif Saleh Alrajhi Investment Company. The project was launched in 2007 and was delayed by the 2008 global financial crisis; construction was substantially complete by September 2014, and Bayut's building records show the project fully delivered in 2016. The tower offers studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments, plus penthouses.
Developer and storey count cross-confirmed across Bayut, Propsearch, FamProperties, Squareyards and Abyaar's own corporate project gallery. Construction-complete (2014) and delivery (2016) dates are both disclosed separately since independent sources record two different milestones rather than a single completion date.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Hilliana Tower sits within Acacia Avenues on Al Nethra Street, part of the Sufouh Gardens development in Al Sufouh 1. Al Sufouh is a narrow coastal district that runs along Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) between Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah, with several sources describing Hilliana Tower as the centrepiece of the Acacia Avenues project thanks to its height and Arabian Gulf-facing upper floors.
Dubai Media City and Dubai Internet City are roughly a 7-minute drive away, giving the area a strong base of working professionals. For a wider view of the district's short-term rental market, see Royale Stays' full guide to Airbnb property management in Dubai.
Unit Types
Hilliana Tower offers a mix of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, as well as penthouses on the upper floors. The total number of units in the building has not been independently confirmed and is not stated here.
Amenities
The building includes a swimming pool, gymnasium and sauna, along with covered parking, elevators and 24-hour security. Hilliana Tower is also pet-friendly, a detail worth flagging for owners considering longer-stay guests travelling with pets.
Transportation & Access
Dubai Internet City Metro Station on the Red Line is roughly 8 to 10 minutes from Hilliana Tower by car. The Al Sufouh Tram Station, on the Dubai Tram line running along Al Sufouh Road toward JBR and Dubai Marina, is also close by. The area's position directly off Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) gives quick access to both Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah.
Metro and tram distances are drawn from Bayut's building guide, Bayut's Al Sufouh 1 area guide and UAE Explorer's tram-station reference. No walking-distance figure specific to Hilliana Tower was independently confirmed.
Rental & Price Trends
Dubai Land Department-linked transaction data from Dxbinteract and Bayut both show an average apartment sale price around AED 2.1 to 2.14 million in Hilliana Tower (Bayut records this as roughly AED 1,448 per sq ft), based on 14 to 17 recorded sale transactions. Rental figures vary more by source: Dxbinteract's DLD-transaction data puts studios at roughly AED 32,000 to 40,000 per year, one-bedrooms at AED 47,000 to 50,000, and two-bedrooms at AED 63,000 to 70,000, with an overall rental yield near 7.2%. Property Finder's current live listings run notably higher: studios around AED 60,000 to 68,000, one-bedrooms around AED 95,000, and two-bedrooms around AED 125,000 to 150,000 per year.
The two rental-figure sets differ by roughly 1.8 to 2x across every unit type. This most likely reflects a gap between DLD-recorded historical transactions (Dxbinteract) and current live asking rents (Property Finder) as Dubai rents have generally risen since that transaction sample was recorded, rather than a data error in either source. Both ranges are presented rather than picking one.
STR Income Potential
Al Sufouh is not currently one of Royale Stays' five core managed areas (Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JBR and Business Bay), so this guide does not claim a Royale Stays management track record at Hilliana Tower specifically. Abyaar Real Estate and Naif Saleh Alrajhi Investment Company are private developers rather than a restricted hotel brand, so there is no confirmed policy barrier to running a licensed holiday home in the building.
Every short-term rental in Dubai requires a DTCM holiday home permit. Royale Stays can arrange the permit application and manage the day-to-day operation, including for owners based overseas, for a fee starting from 15%, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications. See Royale Stays' Dubai holiday home permit guide for the current permit process.
