Emaar listed 15 units on 13 November 2026, from AED 1,712,888, with completion targeted for October 2029. 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 | [Expo City Dubai](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/expo-city) (Expo Living), Dubai | | Status | under construction | | Developer's handover target | Q4 2029 | | Tenure | freehold | | Price | From AED 1,712,888 (published figure, 13 November 2026) | | Home types | 1-bedroom apartments, 2-bedroom apartments, 3-bedroom apartments, 3-bedroom townhouses | | Golden Visa value test | All published prices are below AED 2,000,000 | ## Overview Terra Gardens is a release in Expo Living, the community [Emaar](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/emaar) is developing with Dubai World Trade Centre beside [Expo City Dubai](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/expo-city). 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. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1-bedroom apartments | Not published | | 741 to 866 sq ft | | available | | 2-bedroom apartments | Not published | | 1,111 to 1,224 sq ft | | available | | 3-bedroom apartments | Not published | | | | available | | 3-bedroom townhouses | Not published | | 2,580 to 2,702 sq ft | | 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%.
