Facts last verified 13 November 2026 against the sources listed at the end. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Developer | [Emaar Properties](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/emaar) | | Location | [Emaar South](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/emaar-south), Dubai | | Status | launched | | Developer's handover target | Q3 2029 | | Sales launched | 2026-04 | | Tenure | freehold | | Price | From AED 2,614,888 (published figure, 13 November 2026) | | Home types | 1-bedroom apartments, 2-bedroom apartments, 3-bedroom apartments, 3-bedroom townhouses | | Golden Visa value test | Some homes are priced at or above AED 2,000,000 | ## Overview Vista Ridge is a 2026 release in [Emaar South](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/emaar-south), the golf community [Emaar](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/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. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1-bedroom apartments | Not published | | 788 sq ft | | sold-out | | 2-bedroom apartments | Not published | | 1,286 to 1,383 sq ft | | available | | 3-bedroom apartments | Not published | | 1,655 to 1,752 sq ft | | available | | 3-bedroom townhouses | Not published | | | | available | Prices are published starting prices from the developer or Property Finder, as each type's note says, checked 13 November 2026. ## Payment plans ### 10/70/20 - Down payment: 10% (At booking) - During construction: 70% (Instalments during construction) - On handover: 20% (On completion) Paid before handover: 80%.
