Overview

Apartments and three-bedroom townhouses in Expo Living, beside Expo City Dubai. Emaar listed 15 units on 13 November 2026, from AED 1,712,888, with completion targeted for October 2029.

Terra Gardens is a release in Expo Living, the community Emaar is developing with Dubai World Trade Centre beside Expo City Dubai. Emaar describes Expo Living as about 451,000 sq m, with Dubai Expo Mall at its centre, a 15-minute walk from Expo City and a 15-minute drive from Al Maktoum International Airport. Terra Gardens offers one- to three-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom townhouses, set around landscaped courtyards and gardens. Emaar describes the interiors as beige tones with wood-veneer joinery and engineered stone surfaces.

On 13 November 2026 Emaar's website showed 15 units available, priced from AED 1,712,888, with sizes from 760 to 2,702 sq ft; the same page gives a starting price of AED 1.55 million. Property Finder's figures are less consistent. Its header shows a launch price of AED 1.6 million, while its FAQ gives AED 2,270,000 as the starting price, two-bedroom apartments from AED 2.3 million, three-bedroom apartments from AED 3.4 million and townhouses from AED 4.9 million. It lists one-bedroom apartments of 741 to 866 sq ft, two-bedroom apartments of 1,111 to 1,224 sq ft and townhouses of 2,580 to 2,702 sq ft; its two size ranges for three-bedroom apartments contradict each other. Property Finder also marks the project sold out, but Emaar's own website still listed 15 units on the date we checked, and we follow the developer.

Property Finder records construction starting in October 2025 and gives a completion target of October 2029, earlier than Terra Woods next door. The plan it lists is 10% on booking, 70% during construction and 20% on handover.

The amenity list matches Terra Woods: a main pool and pool terrace, a pavilion, a barbecue courtyard, an outdoor gym, a meditation and yoga garden, a children's play area and a rooftop padel court. Emaar gives a 25-minute drive to Dubai Marina.

Who it suits: buyers who want an Emaar home near Expo City with an earlier handover than Terra Woods and a conventional 10/70/20 plan. What to weigh: the published prices conflict, so rely on Emaar's current price list; Terra Woods and Terra Heights are selling in the same community; and the area's growth depends on Expo City and Al Maktoum airport developing as planned.

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 Terra GardensAED 1,712,888
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 68,516
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 1,782,424about £365K

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.

Golden Visa. Homes here are priced below the AED 2 million threshold for the 10-year visa, though properties can be combined to reach it. Check eligibility
