My take on Golf Trails
Golf Trails is a low rise Emaar building on the perimeter of the golf course at Emaar South, the developer's master community inside Dubai South. It was released with 161 homes: one, two and three bedroom apartments, plus six three bedroom townhouses at podium level.
The reason investors look at this part of Dubai is the airport. Al Maktoum International is being expanded into the city's main hub, and Emaar South sits beside it, with Expo City around ten minutes away. That story takes years to play out, and the Q4 2030 handover means this is a purchase for patient money.
Who it suits
- Investors who want an Emaar address at one of its lower entry prices
- Buyers happy to spread 80% of the price across the build
- A long term view on Dubai South and the airport expansion
What to weigh up
- Handover is expected in Q4 2030, so there is no rental income until then
- Dubai South is still being built out and is around 35 minutes from Downtown and the Marina
- One bedroom homes are the first to go at launch, so check what is left before you plan around the entry price
Key details
- 161 homes in a low rise building
- One bedroom apartments from 719 sq ft
- Three bedroom townhouses from 2,603 sq ft
- 10% on booking and 70% spread through the build
