Emaar Ongoing Projects in Dubai

Here is the whole picture in two tables. The first covers location, type, price and handover. The second covers homes, sizes and yield. Read these first, then jump to the project you care about.

One line to remember: the four Emaar South projects are near twins on the same golf course, so the choice is mostly price and handover date. Sera is a different product on the water. See the full Emaar South community and Rashid Yachts and Marina pages for the wider areas.

Golf Fields is a single, low density building of 181 homes wrapped around an 18 hole golf course in Emaar South. It runs Ground plus Podium plus 11 floors, kept small on purpose so most homes face the fairway rather than another block. Handover is Q3 2030, the latest of the four golf projects here.

What you get and what it costs

The payment plan is 10 on booking, 70 across seven construction stages between October 2026 and July 2029, and 20 on handover. Emaar South gross yields run 6 to 9%, with the 2 bedroom the strongest earner at roughly 6.19% on average. There is no tax on the rent and no capital gains tax.

Why buy it

• Most homes face the golf course, not a neighbouring block, because the building is kept low and small.
• The unit mix and prices are spelled out clearly, so you know exactly what each layout costs before you enquire.
• GEMS Founders School is 2 minutes away and a clinic 4 minutes, so families have the basics inside the community.

Why you might not

• It hands over in Q3 2030, the longest wait of the four golf projects, so your money is tied up longest.
• Entry starts at AED 1.26M, the highest of the four, so it is not the cheapest way into Emaar South.
• The 1 bedroom does not reach the AED 2M Golden Visa line, so visa seekers must buy a 3 bedroom or townhouse.

Who it fits: investors chasing the strongest 2 bedroom rent, and buyers who want the best chance of a real fairway view. The USP: the lowest building height and the clearest pricing of the group. See the Emaar Golf Fields Listing.

Golf Vale is a 262 home, 13 storey building in the same Emaar South community, again beside the 18 hole golf course. Its stand out feature is space: ceilings run to 3.3 metres, taller than most Dubai homes, with floor to ceiling windows and 180 degree course and park views. Entry is AED 1.09M and handover is in 2030.

What you get and what it costs

The plan is the same 10, 70, 20 structure. Emaar puts entry pricing at around AED 1,030 per square foot, the best value per foot of the group, and states Emaar South is rising about 8 to 12% a year as the airport grows. Amenities sit on a 42,000 square foot podium deck shared by only 262 homes, so pools and gyms stay quiet.

Why buy it

• 3.3 metre ceilings and full height windows make the homes feel larger and brighter than the Dubai average.
• Best value per square foot of the four golf projects, at about AED 1,030 per foot on entry.
• Only 262 homes share the podium pools and gym, so you avoid the queues of a large tower.

Why you might not

• Handover is in 2030, so like Golf Fields it is a longer wait than Golf Hills One or Golf Verge.
• The 1 and 2 bedroom homes sit below the AED 2M Golden Visa line, so only larger units qualify.
• It is one of several near identical Emaar golf buildings here, so resale competition inside the community is real.

Who it fits: end users and families who want space and light, and value buyers who care about price per foot. The USP: the tallest ceilings and the best value per square foot in the group. See the Emaar Golf Vale listing.

Golf Hills One is a 204 home Emaar project in the same Emaar South community, again facing the 18 hole golf course. Two things make it stand out: it has the lowest headline price at AED 1.06M, and it is one of the first to complete, in Q3 2029. It is fully freehold and open to all nationalities.

What you get and what it costs

Booking is 10% and handover is Q3 2029. The range runs from a 671 square foot 1 bedroom up to a 3,081 square foot townhouse, the largest single home across all four golf projects. Emaar notes demand in Emaar South rose 18% recently, and the same airport and Expo City growth story is placed underneath the rental case.

Why buy it

• Lowest entry price of the group at AED 1.06M, so it is the cheapest way into this community.
• One of the earliest to hand over, Q3 2029, so your capital is tied up for a shorter time and rent starts sooner.
• It has the largest townhouse of the group at 3,081 square feet, good for bigger families who still want a branded home.

Why you might not

• The listing gives less pricing detail per unit than Golf Fields, so you must ask for the current price sheet.
• The 1 bedroom is below the AED 2M Golden Visa line, so visa buyers need a larger unit.
• Like the others, it is one of many similar Emaar golf buildings here, so it is not unique inside the community.

Who it fits: first time and budget buyers, and anyone who wants a short wait to completion. The USP: the cheapest entry and one of the earliest handovers in the group. See the Emaar Golf Hills One listing.

Golf Verge is a 204 home Emaar project in Emaar South, again on the 18 hole golf course. The difference from its siblings is simple: it is apartments only, with no townhouses, so it is the cleanest way to buy a golf facing flat here. Entry is AED 1.20M, handover is in 2029, and Emaar states an 8% ROI on the page.

What you get and what it costs

The payment plan is the same 10, 70, 20. On amenities the project leans into an active outdoor life, with 20 community parks, an 18 hole championship course, a 950 metre jogging track and a 4,200 metre cycling track. It is placed  within 7 minutes from Al Maktoum Airport, with a bus stop 8 minutes away and the Expo metro station about 15 minutes out.

Why buy it

• Apartments only, no townhouses, so it is the simplest, most liquid golf flat to buy and later resell here.
• Handover in 2029 with a stated 8% ROI, a shorter wait than Golf Fields or Golf Vale.
• Strong outdoor amenity set, with long jogging and cycling tracks and 20 parks for an active household.

Why you might not

• The top size is 1,777 square feet, smaller than the other golf projects, so large families have fewer options.
• Entry at AED 1.20M is higher than Golf Hills One and Golf Vale, so it is not the cheapest golf flat.
• With no townhouses, buyers who want a ground level home with a garden should look at the other three.

Who it fits: budget golfers, expats and first time investors who want a straightforward apartment near the course. The USP: the pure apartment golf play with a 2029 handover and a stated 8% ROI. See the Emaar Golf Verge Listing.

Sera is the one project here that is not about golf or Dubai South. It is a waterfront apartment development at Rashid Yachts and Marina in Mina Rashid, on the city side of Dubai. It offers 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments from AED 2.1M, with handover targeted around 2029. This is the choice for a marina lifestyle and a more central address.

What you get and what it costs

The homes are 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments with open layouts, balconies and marina or garden views. Sizes are listed as coming soon, so ask for the current floor plans. Entry is AED 2.1M, and Emaar states an ROI above 8%. Because even the entry price is above AED 2M, a Sera apartment can clear the Golden Visa line from the smallest unit, which the Emaar South 1 bedrooms cannot.

The setting is the draw. The community includes more than 430 wet berths for boats, a 500 metre swimmable canal pool, a private sandy beach of roughly 12,600 square metres, and six connected district parks, alongside a planned retail promenade. It is placed within 10 minutes from Sheikh Zayed Road, 15 minutes from Dubai International Airport and 20 minutes from Downtown and Dubai Mall.

Why buy it

• A true waterfront address with a marina, a swimmable canal pool and a private beach, not a golf course view.
• City side location, 15 minutes from Dubai International Airport and 20 from Downtown, far closer to central Dubai than Emaar South.
• Entry clears the AED 2M Golden Visa line, so even the smallest apartment can qualify the buyer and family.

Why you might not

• Sizes are not published yet, so you are judging value before the full floor plans are out.
• At AED 2.1M entry, it costs about double the Emaar South golf flats, so it suits a larger budget.
• The exact handover is described as not yet fixed, with nearby projects targeting late 2028 to 2029, so confirm the date in writing.

Who it fits: buyers who want a marina and beach lifestyle, a central location, and Golden Visa eligibility from the entry unit. The USP: the only waterfront project here, with a marina, canal pool and private beach. See the Emaar Sera listing.

Most write ups just describe each project. Here are the four things that actually change your decision, which the listings will not put front and centre.

The four Emaar South projects are near twins

Golf Fields, Golf Vale, Golf Hills One and Golf Verge sit in the same community, face the same golf course, share the same developer and carry almost the same price. So stop asking which is better. The real choice is three things: handover date, price, and your unit's floor and view. Golf Hills One wins on price and timing, Golf Vale on space and value per foot, Golf Fields on view ratio, and Golf Verge if you want apartments only.

Emaar South has a lot of golf supply

Emaar keeps launching golf buildings in this one community, so the choice is wide, but the resale and rental competition inside Emaar South is real. When you sell or lease later, your home competes with many near identical Emaar units next door. Buy the best plot and view you can, because that is what will set your unit apart from the rest.

A one bedroom will not get you a Golden Visa

This trips people up. The 10 year Golden Visa needs a property worth AED 2M or more. Every 1 bedroom in the Emaar South golf projects is below that line, so it gives a shorter 2 year investor visa, not the 10 year one. If the Golden Visa is your goal, you need a 3 bedroom, a townhouse, or a Sera apartment, where even the entry unit clears the line.

The golf flats and the marina flat are not the same bet

The four Emaar South homes are an entry level play from about AED 1M, riding the Al Maktoum Airport growth story on the far edge of Dubai. Sera is a AED 2.1M waterfront home on the city side, near Downtown and the older airport. They share the Emaar name and little else. Judge them against your budget and where you want to live, not against each other.

There is no single winner, because these serve different buyers. Here is the plain verdict by what you want most.

For a first investment or a Golden Visa on a smaller budget, Golf Hills One or Golf Vale make the most sense: low entry, early or fair handover, and freehold ownership. For a straightforward golf apartment, Golf Verge, and for the strongest 2 bedroom rent, Golf Fields. For a family that wants the water, a central address and Golden Visa from the entry unit, Emaar Sera is the one, as long as you confirm the sizes and handover first.

Whatever you choose, do the same checks: get the current price and unit in writing, confirm the payment plan, and confirm the escrow account before you pay any booking amount. This is basic due diligence and it protects your money. Browse the full Emaar projects list or the Emaar developer page to compare more launches.
