About Socio

Emaar launched Socio in June 2018 as a community focused project for young professionals, entrepreneurs and creatives. The two towers, Socio Tower 1 and Socio Tower 2, sit in Park Heights alongside Park Heights 1 and 2, Collective 2.0 and Executive Residences, in the most established apartment district of Dubai Hills Estate.

The homes are efficient one and two bedroom layouts of roughly 480 and 720 sq ft, designed to keep entry prices within reach while giving residents shared lounges, a library and cinema room, a pool and a gym. That mix has made Socio a steady favourite with renters and with investors looking for a first home in the community.

Dubai Hills Park is a short walk away for running, cycling and weekend picnics, King's College Hospital is close by, and Dubai Hills Mall is about 1.6 km from the towers. Al Khail Road links residents to Downtown Dubai in around a quarter of an hour.
