Golf Edge: Emaar's New Development in Dubai South
Golf Edge is a residential project by Emaar Properties, located within the Emaar South masterplan in Dubai South (Dubai World Central). It offers apartments and townhouses, priced from AED 1,170,000 to AED 4,750,000. Construction began in April 2025, with the handover target set for February 2029.
A Suburban Address Beside Al Maktoum Airport
Emaar South sits within Dubai South, roughly 35 kilometres southwest of Downtown Dubai, adjacent to Al Maktoum International Airport. The community is laid out around a golf course, with landscaped streets and lower site coverage than central Dubai developments.
For end-users, this means more space and greenery per unit. Commute times to Business Bay, Downtown, or DIFC will run longer than from more central districts. That tradeoff is explicit: a quieter, lower-density environment at a price point that reflects its distance from the city core.
For investors, the area is still building out, and off-plan buyers entering now are ahead of the neighbourhood reaching full density.
What AED 1.17M to AED 4.75M Covers
The AED 3.58 million price range reflects two fundamentally different product types. These are not variations on the same thing. They are different ways to live.
1-bedroom apartments start at AED 1,170,000, in units from 795 to 957 square feet across three layout types. This is the entry point: accessible capital outlay, Emaar branding, and sizes suited to single occupants, couples, or investors targeting airport-adjacent tenants.
2-bedroom apartments begin at AED 1,730,000, ranging from 1,181 to 1,409 square feet. Eight configurations are available, giving buyers real flexibility on layout. These suit young families, dual-income households, or investors looking for a larger unit at a mid-range price.
3-bedroom apartments start at AED 2,500,000, spanning 1,641 to 2,167 square feet across four layout options. For families who want the space of a larger unit while staying within an apartment building, this tier delivers without pushing into townhouse territory.
At the top sits the 3-bedroom townhouse, starting at AED 4,750,000 in sizes from 2,965 to 2,987 square feet. Private entrances and significantly more floor area make this a different product from the apartment floors. The buyer here typically wants private outdoor space and separation from communal hallways, and the price reflects that.
What's On Site
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness & Leisure | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
The amenity list is concise but well-matched to the project's resident profile. The indoor swimming pool is the most notable feature: year-round usability without heat exposure matters in Dubai's climate, and indoor access avoids the limitations of outdoor-only facilities. The children's play area and landscaped gardens reinforce a family orientation consistent with the larger unit sizes. On-site restaurants reduce the need to drive out for everyday meals, a practical advantage in a suburban setting where walkable options are limited.
Completion Projected for February 2029
Construction launched in April 2025. The projected handover is February 2029, roughly three years and ten months from project start. For buyers entering now, this is a near-four-year off-plan commitment. That window spreads payments across the construction schedule but also means a longer period before rental income begins or owner-occupiers can move in.
Getting In for 10% Down
| Stage | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 70% |
| At handover | 20% |
The 10% down payment keeps the entry cost low. On a AED 1,170,000 1-bedroom unit, that is AED 117,000 to secure the property. The bulk of the cost, 70%, spreads across the construction period through 2025 to 2029, which suits buyers who can manage consistent instalments over time rather than a large lump sum.
The 20% balance falls due at handover in February 2029, with no post-handover extension built into the plan. On a 1-bedroom unit, that handover payment is AED 234,000. The gap between entry cost and handover payment widens considerably at the top of the range: AED 475,000 down on the townhouse, with AED 950,000 due at handover.
