Overview

Project brief

THE FIFTH PHASE OF EMAAR SOUTH'S GOLF-COURSE VILLAS

Expo Golf Villas 5 is a villa phase by Emaar at Emaar South, the developer's master community in Dubai South near Al Maktoum International Airport and Expo City, built around an 18-hole championship golf course and holding villas, townhouses and apartments. Per the project brochure, the enclave occupies the north pocket of Emaar South, by the main boulevard and within walking distance of both the District Park and the retail centre.

The phase holds three and four-bedroom villas in two architectural styles — described in the brochure as Modern and Contemporary, and set out in the floor-plan pack as Style 1 and Style 2. The pack publishes a total area for every unit code: three-bedroom homes come in two layouts, Type A at roughly 1,878 to 1,890 square feet and Type B at roughly 1,911 to 1,937 square feet, and four-bedroom homes — always the end units of a cluster — at 2,256 or 2,264 square feet depending on style. Villas are arranged in clusters of four, five, six, seven and eight units. The pack identifies the phase as Greenview 2.

No developer fact sheet was issued with this pack, so unit counts and launch pricing are not available from Emaar source documents. PropSearch records construction starting in October 2019 and the project completed in January 2024, so Expo Golf Villas 5 is a delivered community trading on the secondary market rather than off-plan.

Bedroom mix, styles and unit areas per the Emaar brochure and floor-plan pack. Completed community; resale availability and pricing vary by unit and are confirmed on request. Total unit count confirmed on request — no developer fact sheet was issued with this pack.

UNIT MIX & SIZES

Unit type	Style 1 total area (sq ft)	Style 2 total area (sq ft)

Total areas exactly as published in the Emaar Expo Golf Villas 5 floor-plan pack, which states them per unit code for both architectural styles; ranges reflect the small variations between unit positions within a cluster. The pack publishes no unit counts, plot sizes or launch prices, and no fact sheet accompanies it. Indicative resale pricing per PropSearch transaction data (recent sales from approximately AED 1.63 million to AED 2.65 million); current availability and pricing confirmed on request.

THE INVESTMENT CASE

Expo Golf Villas 5 is a completed, standard-tier brief: the angle below is qualitative. Where the live Dubai Land Department transaction feed for Emaar South is available, current pricing and PSF trends will be shown alongside — those figures are the basis for any comparison, not the estimates below.

DEVELOPER: EMAAR, ONE OF DUBAI'S MOST ESTABLISHED DEVELOPERS

Expo Golf Villas 5 is developed by Emaar, the developer behind many of Dubai's landmark destinations. Emaar reported revenue of AED 49.6 billion for 2025 and, with a proven delivery track record, has delivered over 125,600 residential units across Dubai and other global markets since 2002. Its portfolio includes Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall. As a phase delivered in January 2024, Expo Golf Villas 5 carries none of the completion uncertainty of an off-plan purchase.

LOCATION: THE NORTH POCKET OF A GOLF-COURSE COMMUNITY

Emaar South sits in Dubai South, adjacent to Al Maktoum International Airport and Expo City, with its own 18-hole championship golf course at the centre of the master plan. Per the brochure, the phase is a seven-minute drive from Al Maktoum International Airport, ten minutes from the Expo 2020 site, thirty minutes from Jebel Ali Port and fifty minutes from Abu Dhabi, and sits within walking distance of the District Park and retail centre. The position pairs a golf-led suburban setting with direct airport and highway access.

APPLICABLE STRATEGIES

Buy-and-hold for rental — a delivered villa phase inside a golf-course community with pools, parks and a community centre supports family long-let demand; yields to be confirmed against current rental evidence.
Owner-occupation — a move-in-ready three or four-bedroom home in an established, amenity-led community.
Secondary-market entry — as a community delivered in January 2024, homes can be inspected and any existing tenancy assessed before purchase, and rental track record is already established.

RISKS & WATCHPOINTS

Wide resale spread — recent PropSearch sale evidence spans roughly AED 1.63 million to AED 2.65 million, a wide range for a phase whose villas differ by only a few dozen square feet; the spread reflects position and condition rather than size, and entry points must be verified against current evidence rather than headline figures.
Areas quoted by third parties — the unit areas carried on portal and aggregator listings for this phase do not match the total areas Emaar publishes in the floor-plan pack. The figures in the table above are the developer's own; any per-square-foot calculation should be rebuilt on them.
Community pipeline — Emaar South has a large ongoing delivery pipeline of further phases; concurrent completions nearby can affect resale and rental pricing.
Location trade-off — Emaar South sits at the southern edge of the city; commute times to central districts should be weighed against the value on offer.
Airport proximity — the airport adjacency that supports the long-term case should also be assessed for noise and flight-path considerations as capacity grows.
Document coverage — no fact sheet accompanies this phase, so unit counts, service charges and original launch pricing should be confirmed directly before offer.

SOURCES

Emaar — Expo Golf Villas 5 brochure (north-pocket position, two architectural styles, amenities, drive times, master plan) and floor-plan pack (three and four-bedroom total areas per unit code and style, Type A and Type B layouts, four to eight-unit cluster layouts, Greenview 2 identification). No fact sheet or payment plan was issued with this pack, so it carries no unit counts, plot sizes, launch prices or instalment schedule.

Method & questions

HOW TO READ THIS PAGE

Two different things sit on this page: transaction evidence taken from the Dubai Land Department’s public register, and the mechanics of buying in Dubai. The four notes below explain how the figures were built and what they can fairly be used for.

Registered, not askedEvery Dubai Land Department figure on this page comes from a sale that completed and was entered on the public register. Asking prices, portal listings and developer price lists are excluded: they record what someone hoped for, not what was paid.
Medians, not averagesProject samples are often thin, and a single penthouse or one bulk-discounted floor will pull an average a long way off. The median — the middle transaction — describes the typical unit far more reliably at these sample sizes. The count behind each figure is always shown so you can judge how much weight it deserves.
Sales only“Sales” means arm’s-length sales. Intra-family and other “Gift” transfers are excluded, as are rows registered at zero or nominal consideration, because neither is evidence of a market price.
A dated snapshotThese are a snapshot at the date stated beside them, taken from one extract of the register rather than queried live. A figure for this project quoted elsewhere, or taken from a different extract, may not match what you see here.

Common questions

What does buying off-plan at Expo Golf Villas 5 involve?

Off-plan means contracting with the developer before the building is finished. In outline: you reserve the unit, sign the developer’s Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA), and pay in instalments tied to construction milestones rather than in a single sum at the start.

Buyer payments on an off-plan sale in Dubai are made into a project escrow account regulated under Dubai Law No. 8 of 2007, and are released to the developer against verified construction progress. The developer registers the sale with the Dubai Land Department. The contract is between you and Emaar; we act as broker, not as principal.

What is the 4% DLD transfer fee, and who pays it?

The Dubai Land Department charges a property registration (transfer) fee of 4% of the price recorded on the contract, plus a fixed administrative charge. That is the rate in force as at July 2026. The statutory position splits the fee between buyer and seller; established market practice in Dubai is that the buyer pays the whole 4%.

Developers sometimes offer to absorb part or all of it on off-plan sales. Treat that as real only where it is written into the sale documents, not where it appears in marketing. Budget separately for the registration trustee charge, the Oqood registration fee on off-plan units, and — if you are borrowing — mortgage registration at 0.25% of the loan amount.

What is an Oqood registration, and is it the same as a title deed?

No. Oqood is the Dubai Land Department’s registration system for property that is not yet complete. When you buy off-plan, the developer lodges the SPA through Oqood, your interest is recorded on the interim property register, and you receive an initial registration certificate.

The title deed is a separate and later document, issued once the project is complete and the unit is formally transferred into your name. An off-plan purchase that is never registered leaves you off that interim register, so ask for evidence of Oqood registration once your first payment has cleared.

Can a non-UAE buyer own a unit outright?

In Dubai’s designated freehold areas, yes. Regulation No. 3 of 2006 sets out the areas in which non-UAE nationals may hold freehold title or a long lease; outside those areas ownership is restricted to UAE and GCC nationals. Ownership does not depend on holding UAE residency, and no local partner is required.

Tenure attaches to the plot rather than to a development’s marketing, so confirm what is recorded against the specific unit — freehold or leasehold, and the remaining term if leasehold — before you sign.

What happens at handover?

Once the building is complete and the completion certificate issued, you are called for handover: you inspect the unit (the snagging inspection), the developer addresses the defects listed, you settle the final instalment and any outstanding fees, and the unit is transferred into your name with a title deed issued.

Annual service charges begin at handover. They are levied per square foot at a rate approved by the regulator, so they are a recurring cost rather than a one-off. If you intend to let the unit, allow for the interval between handover and the first tenancy — a vacant unit earns nothing, and gross yield is annual rent measured against the purchase price, before those costs are taken off. Emaar gives completion for Expo Golf Villas 5 as Jan 2024; off-plan completion dates can move, and the SPA governs the position.

Where do the Dubai Land Department figures on this page come from?

They are drawn from the Dubai Land Department’s public transaction register — sales actually registered against Expo Golf Villas 5, rather than asking prices, portal listings or developer price lists. They are a dated extract of the register, not a live query: the extract date is printed with the figures, and everything on this page is calculated from that single extract.

The number of sales behind every figure is shown alongside it. A median drawn from a handful of registrations carries far less weight than one drawn from several hundred, and should be read that way.

Who is Mitchell’s Realty, and how are you paid?

Mitchell’s Realty is the trading brand. The RERA-licensed brokerage behind it is The Luxury Real Estate Brokers LLC.

On developer off-plan sales the commission is paid by the developer. On resale transactions the brokerage fee is agreed with you in writing before terms are signed. We will confirm how we are paid on any specific transaction before you commit to it.

Please note. The above is general information about how transactions work in Dubai, not legal, tax or financial advice, and it is not a recommendation to buy. Fee rates, tenure rules and residency requirements change, and your own position may differ. Take your own independent legal and tax advice before you commit to a purchase.
