Overview

Project brief

GOLF-COURSE VILLAS IN EMAAR'S DUBAI SOUTH COMMUNITY

Fairway Villas is a villa neighbourhood by Emaar at Emaar South, the developer's master community in Dubai South, next to Al Maktoum International Airport and Expo City, built around an 18-hole championship golf course and mixing villas, townhouses and apartments.

Per the Emaar fact sheet, the neighbourhood holds 49 villas — 22 three-bedroom and 27 four-bedroom homes — positioned alongside the golf course, with direct access to it from the villas. Each home has a double-height entrance foyer, terrace, dining and living rooms, a maid's room and powder room, and two car spaces, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the fairways. Launch pricing started from AED 3 million for a three-bedroom villa and AED 4 million for a four-bedroom.

Emaar's launch schedule ran a construction-linked payment plan from a down payment in December 2022 to 100% construction completion estimated for September 2026. Per PropSearch, construction began in May 2023 and the project completed in February 2026, ahead of that estimate, so it now trades on the secondary market rather than off-plan. Figures below reflect a delivered community rather than a developer launch.

UNIT MIX & STARTING PRICES

Unit type	Units	Avg BUA (sq ft)	Avg plot (sq ft)	Launch starting price (AED)
3-Bedroom Villa	22	2,988	5,882	3.0M

Unit counts, average built-up areas, average plot areas and starting prices per the Emaar fact sheet, which publishes averages rather than ranges. The floor-plan pack gives total areas of 2,988.06 sq ft for the three-bedroom villa and 3,125.84 sq ft for the four-bedroom villa. Prices shown are launch prices, not current resale asking prices.

THE INVESTMENT CASE

Fairway Villas 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

Fairway Villas 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 delivered community, Fairway Villas carries none of the completion uncertainty of an off-plan purchase.

LOCATION: ALONGSIDE THE GOLF COURSE IN DUBAI SOUTH

Emaar South sits in Dubai South, next to Al Maktoum International Airport and Expo City, built around an 18-hole championship golf course, with a community centre, linear park, swimming pools, gym, jogging path and kids' play areas. Per the Emaar fact sheet, the community is a 7-minute drive from Al Maktoum Airport, 10 minutes from Expo City Dubai, 20 minutes from Dubai Marina and 30 minutes from Downtown Dubai. Fairway Villas sits directly alongside the golf course within it.

APPLICABLE STRATEGIES

Buy-and-hold for rental — a completed golf-course villa community with parks, pools and sports amenities supports family long-let demand; yields to be confirmed against current rental evidence.
Owner-occupation — a move-in-ready three or four-bedroom villa on a generous plot with direct golf-course access.
Secondary-market entry — as a delivered neighbourhood, homes can be inspected and income assessed before purchase, unlike an off-plan launch.

RISKS & WATCHPOINTS

Secondary-market pricing — pricing is set by individual resellers and varies by plot, view and condition; entry points should be verified on current PSF, not launch figures.
Small neighbourhood — with 49 villas in total, resale evidence is thin and individual transactions can move the apparent average.
Community pipeline — Emaar South has a substantial ongoing delivery pipeline, including Fairway Villas 2 and 3; concurrent completions nearby can affect resale and rental pricing.
Location trade-off — Dubai South sits away from the established central districts; commute times should be weighed against the value on offer, alongside the longer-term case tied to Al Maktoum Airport and Expo City.

PAYMENT PLAN AT LAUNCH

The schedule below is the original launch plan and is historic — the neighbourhood is delivered, and a resale purchase is not made on these terms. It is reproduced because it sets the developer's own construction timeline.

Instalment	Payment	Milestone	Due
Down payment	10%	On booking	Dec 2022
1st	10%	—	Feb 2023
2nd	10%	—	Aug 2023
3rd	10%	—	Feb 2024
4th	10%	20% construction	Sep 2024
5th	10%	40% construction	Mar 2025
6th	10%	60% construction	Aug 2025
7th	10%	80% construction	Jan 2026
8th (completion)	20%	100% construction	Sep 2026

Per the Emaar fact sheet; instalment dates as published at launch, subject to change. The September 2026 date was the estimated construction completion date.

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 Fairway Villas 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 Fairway Villas as Feb 2026; 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 Fairway Villas, 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.
