Tilal Binghatti | Academic City

Tilal Binghatti is the first master-planned community Binghatti has developed. Set in Academic City, in Dubai's inland suburbs, it spreads across roughly 10 million ft² and combines villas, retail and wellness facilities in a layout designed to be walked. More than 2,400 homes are planned for the first phase.

The homes start with 4 and 5-bedroom townhouses, while 6-bedroom twin villas and 6 and 7-bedroom standalone villas give larger families more room. The entry-level mid-unit townhouse has a double-height living room, dining area, kitchen, maid's room with its own bathroom, a guest WC and covered parking for two cars on the ground floor, opening onto a back courtyard. The two upper floors hold four bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and dressing area, along with a balcony and a generous terrace; a lift links the floors and the plan includes a roof level.

The 5-bedroom Grand Villa adds a small pool on the second-floor terrace and a side garden alongside the back courtyard. The twin villa places a bedroom, a family room and an outdoor dining area on the ground floor, while the second floor has a bedroom with a dressing room and a bathroom with a tub, plus a terrace. The standalone villa is the most complete layout, with a gym, back kitchen, laundry and driver's room in the basement, a private swimming pool in the garden and terraces on the upper floors.

The community includes a 12,000 m² man-made beach and swimmable lakes, surrounded by parks, running and cycling tracks, sports courts, wellness and fitness facilities, a clubhouse and a retail boulevard. A nursery, clinics and a mosque cover everyday needs, children have dedicated play areas, pet owners get their own parks, and green corridors link the villa streets together.

Tilal Binghatti sits close to E611 Emirates Road, D54 Hamdan Bin Zayed Road and E66 Dubai-Al Ain Road. According to Binghatti, Dubai Creek Harbour is about 15 minutes away, Meydan Racecourse 18 minutes, and Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall 20 minutes, while the planned Academic City station on the Blue Line metro will add a rail link. It offers a villa option in eastern Dubai for families looking for a spacious home with a garden.
