Overview

Apartments and townhouses on the Emaar South championship golf course, launched in 2026. Emaar listed 10 units on 13 November 2026, from AED 2,614,888, with completion targeted for September 2029.

Vista Ridge is a 2026 release in Emaar South, the golf community Emaar is building inside Dubai South, beside Expo City Dubai and Al Maktoum International Airport. It offers one- to three-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom townhouses, set on the community's 18-hole championship course.

It appears on Emaar's list of new launches. On 13 November 2026 Emaar's website showed 10 units available, priced from AED 2,614,888, with sizes from 1,286 to 2,762 sq ft. The page gives a launch starting price of AED 1.2 million. Property Finder lists launch prices of AED 1.3 million for a 788 sq ft one-bedroom, AED 2 million for two-bedrooms of 1,286 to 1,383 sq ft and AED 3.3 million for three-bedrooms of 1,655 to 1,752 sq ft. Emaar's smallest available unit matches the smallest two-bedroom, so the one-bedroom apartments appear to have sold and the remaining stock is two- and three-bedroom homes and townhouses.

Property Finder gives an expected booking date of 30 April 2026 and completion on 30 September 2029, an earlier target than Golf Trails or Golf Vale. The payment plan it lists is 10% on booking, 70% during construction and 20% on handover.

The facilities match those of Golf Vale and Grove Ridge: adult and children's pools, a splash pad, a padel court, an event lawn, barbecue areas, table tennis, and indoor and outdoor gyms and yoga areas. The wider community has its own golf clubhouse and driving range.

Who it suits: families and end users who want a larger apartment or townhouse on a golf course, with completion in under three years. What to weigh: Grove Ridge, launched the same day with the same plan and handover date, offers a very similar product; the current entry price is roughly double the launch figure because the small units have gone; and the area is car-dependent, with the metro at Expo City.

Buying costs

Government fees are paid on top of the purchase price. This is the position for the entry-level home; costs scale with price. In Dubai the registration authority is the DLD.

Purchase priceEntry price at Vista RidgeAED 2,614,888

DLD transfer fee (4%)Paid to the Dubai Land Department on registration. The department lists it as 2% from each party, but contracts almost always pass the full 4% to the buyer, so a developer's '50% DLD waiver' means the developer is paying its own listed half. Off-plan, it is paid when the sale is registered in the Oqood system.AED 104,596

Oqood registration admin feeOqood portal fee of AED 1,000 plus knowledge and innovation fees, for registering the off-plan sale contract.AED 1,020

Estimated total to completeAED 2,720,504about £557K

Developers may add their own administration charge on off-plan sales. It is set by the developer, not the land department, so it is not included in this estimate: ask for it in writing before you reserve. Adjust the assumptions in the buying cost calculator.
