Overview

One- and two-bedroom apartments in Expo Living, Emaar's community beside Expo City Dubai. Emaar gives a starting price of AED 1.4 million; Property Finder lists developer stock and a March 2029 completion target.

Terra Heights is a release in Expo Living, the community Emaar is developing with Dubai World Trade Centre beside Expo City Dubai. It is an apartment building of one- and two-bedroom homes around a podium courtyard. Emaar gives a 15-minute walk to Expo City, a 15-minute drive to Al Maktoum International Airport and 25 to 30 minutes to Palm Jebel Ali, and describes Expo Living as about 451,000 sq m with Dubai Expo Mall and a nearby metro station.

Emaar's project page gives a starting price of AED 1,400,000. Unlike Terra Woods and Terra Gardens, it did not show a count of bookable units on 13 November 2026; the card was labelled "Open to explore". We include it because Property Finder lists the project, under the name "Emaar Expo Living", among Emaar's projects with developer stock, with a launch price of AED 1.4 million. We have matched that listing to Terra Heights on its price, its one- and two-bedroom mix and its Expo Living location; Property Finder does not use the Terra Heights name, so confirm availability with Emaar before relying on it.

Property Finder lists a one-bedroom layout of 728 sq ft and a two-bedroom layout of 1,216 sq ft, and also shows a three-bedroom type that its own description does not mention; Emaar lists only one- and two-bedroom apartments, so we have left the three-bedroom out. Property Finder records construction starting in October 2025 and gives a completion target of March 2029, the earliest of the three Expo Living releases. Its plan is 10% on booking, 70% during construction and 20% on handover.

Amenities listed by Emaar are adult and children's pools, outdoor play spaces, a gym, a yoga deck, multi-purpose sports courts, a community lawn and barbecue areas. Emaar names Al Maktoum International Airport, Dubai Hills Estate, Downtown Dubai and The Dubai Mall among nearby destinations.

Who it suits: buyers who want the lowest entry price into an Emaar apartment in the Expo City corridor and the earliest handover in Expo Living. What to weigh: availability is the least certain of the three Terra releases; prices by unit type are not published; and the corridor's rental demand depends on Expo City and Al Maktoum airport growing 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 HeightsAED 1,400,000

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 56,000

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 1,457,020about £299K

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
