Emaar gives a starting price of AED 1.4 million; Property Finder lists developer stock and a March 2029 completion target. 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 | Q1 2029 | | Tenure | freehold | | Price | From AED 1,400,000 (published figure, 13 November 2026) | | Home types | 1-bedroom apartments, 2-bedroom apartments | | Golden Visa value test | All published prices are below AED 2,000,000 | ## Overview Terra Heights 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). 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. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1-bedroom apartments | Not published | | 728 sq ft | | limited | | 2-bedroom apartments | Not published | | 1,216 sq ft | | limited | 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%.
