3-Bedroom Townhouse in Greenway 2, Emaar South — AED 177,500 Below Seller's All-In Cost

This is a motivated seller exit on an off-plan 3-bedroom townhouse in Greenway 2 by Emaar Properties, Emaar South, Dubai South. The seller paid AED 2,927,500 in total (original price + Dubai Land Department fees) and is now pricing the unit at AED 2,750,000 — absorbing a AED 177,500 loss (6.1%) to liquidate immediately. With 60% of the payment plan already settled with Emaar, the buyer steps into a project that is substantially funded, with only the remaining 40% (approximately AED 1,126,000) to pay through to the May 2028 handover. For investors and end-users seeking a 3BR Greenway 2 Emaar South townhouse at below-cost entry, this is one of the most structurally clean distress opportunities in the community.

About Greenway 2 and the Developer

Greenway 2 is the second phase of Emaar Properties' landmark Greenway townhouse community within Emaar South, a master-planned golf estate in Dubai South. Launched in Q3 2024 following the sell-out success of Greenway Phase 1, Greenway 2 comprises 492 premium townhouses across two architectural styles — Ivy and Ilya — designed for families seeking a resort-quality lifestyle at a rational price point. The 3-bedroom units span 2,446–2,447 sq ft of built-up area on landscaped plots, arranged in private clusters of four to create a balance of community and seclusion. Each unit is a G+1 duplex with a ground floor encompassing an open-plan living and dining area flowing to a private garden terrace, a modern kitchen, powder room, laundry, maid's room, and a double carport. The first floor houses three en-suite bedrooms and a master suite with walk-in wardrobe. Floor-to-ceiling windows and earth-toned interiors deliver a consistent sense of light and space throughout. Emaar Properties, the UAE's largest listed developer and the company behind the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, Dubai Marina, and Arabian Ranches, developed Emaar South as its flagship affordable-luxury golf community — combining the Emaar brand quality standard with entry prices that are materially below central Dubai. Greenway 2 delivers that formula in its most refined townhouse format, benefiting from Emaar's strong handover track record and its direct relationship with Dubai South as the master developer's preferred residential partner in this corridor.

Payment Plan — What the Buyer Steps Into

• Seller's Asking Price (Net): AED 2,750,000
• Seller's Total Investment (OP + DLD paid): AED 2,927,500
• Seller's Loss: AED 177,500 (6.1%)
• Already Paid to Emaar (60%): ~AED 1,689,000
• Remaining to Emaar (30% construction milestones): ~AED 844,500
• Remaining to Emaar (10% on handover, May 2028): ~AED 281,500
• Total Remaining to Emaar (40%): ~AED 1,126,000
• DLD Transfer Fee (4%, buyer's cost at sub-sale): ~AED 112,600
• Trustee / Conveyancing: ~AED 4,200

• Total All-In (incl. remaining 40% to Emaar): ~AED 3,992,800

For this off-plan sub-sale, the buyer pays AED 2,750,000 to the seller and simultaneously assumes the seller's Sales Purchase Agreement (SPA) with Emaar Properties. The MOU records both the transfer of the SPA and the payment to the seller. Emaar Properties issues the NOC once the seller's outstanding obligations are confirmed as current — typically 7–10 working days. The DLD registers the transfer and the buyer is recorded as the new SPA holder. From that point, the buyer pays the remaining 40% of the original price directly to Emaar — comprising approximately 30% across remaining construction milestone instalments and 10% at handover in May 2028. DistressPropertyFinder.com coordinates all stages from MOU drafting to DLD title issuance.

• Asking Price: AED 2,750,000 | AED 1,124/sq ft (BUA)
• Seller's All-In Cost (OP + DLD): AED 2,927,500
• Seller's Loss: AED 177,500 (6.1% below cost)
• Greenway 2 Launch Range (3BR): AED 2,720,000+ from developer
• Current Secondary Market (3BR townhouse, Emaar South): AED 2,800,000–3,200,000
• % Paid Already: 60% — buyer takes on only 40% forward exposure
• Emaar South 3BR Townhouse Rental Range: AED 85,000–120,000/yr
• Projected Gross Yield on Ask (post May 2028): 3.1–4.4%

• Al Maktoum Airport Expansion: AED 128 billion investment — 5× current size, 260M passenger capacity

The Greenway 2 distress sale investment case is a clear infrastructure-play with a below-cost entry. The seller is taking a confirmed loss to exit — the buyer acquires at a price that is below the developer's own launch range, on a project that is 60% funded and on track for May 2028 handover. The macro catalyst driving long-term value in Emaar South is the AED 128 billion Al Maktoum Airport expansion — projected to become the world's largest airport with 260 million passenger capacity — located just 5–7 minutes from the community by car. As Dubai's urban footprint moves decisively south, Emaar South sits at the centre of that growth corridor. Greenway 2's gated golf community format, family-friendly amenities, and Emaar brand underpinning provide the structural quality on which that appreciation thesis rests.

Emaar South — Location and Why It Matters

Emaar South is a master-planned golf estate in Dubai South, jointly developed by Emaar Properties and the Dubai government, located between Emirates Road (E611) and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (E311). The community is 5–7 minutes from Al Maktoum International Airport by car — a proximity that is rapidly becoming one of the most consequential location advantages in Dubai real estate as the airport's AED 128 billion expansion progresses. Expo City Dubai, the permanent successor to the 2020 World Expo and now a year-round innovation, events, and business campus, is 10 minutes away. The broader Emaar South master plan covers 145 square kilometres and is designed for over 22,700 residential units across apartments, stacked townhouses, standard townhouses, and villas — all clustered around an 18-hole championship golf course. Tree-lined boulevards, pedestrian cycling paths, 25 neighbourhood parks, and an integrated school-mosque-retail-clinic framework make this a fully self-sufficient community at scale. For families and investors who prioritise space, greenery, and long-term infrastructure value over proximity to Dubai's historic centre, Emaar South is the most compelling offer in Dubai South's residential portfolio.

• ROI trajectory: 3BR townhouses in Emaar South achieve AED 85,000–120,000/yr in rent. Long-term yield at the asking price is 3.1–4.4%; on total all-in cost the yield improves to approximately 5% as community matures post-2028.
