About Equestra – Grand Polo Club & Resort

Equestra is one of the foundational residential clusters within Grand Polo Club & Resort — Dubai’s first and only luxury equestrian lifestyle master community by Emaar Properties. The cluster comprises 334 townhouses (3 and 4-bedroom configurations) designed around linear parks, landscaped green corridors, and views of the polo fields that define the masterplan’s identity. Equestra’s architecture follows Emaar’s contemporary minimalist design language: floor-to-ceiling windows, open-plan interiors, private terraces, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Type A is one of two Equestra floor plan types — a corner/end-unit configuration that delivers a larger plot footprint (up to 2,919–2,990 sq ft versus mid-row plots) and includes an additional ground-floor guest bedroom, making it a genuinely distinct and larger living proposition versus Type C mid-row units. The Grand Polo Club & Resort masterplan spans 5.54 million sq m and will deliver 6,661 residences across 22 distinctive clusters — including Selvara, Equiterra, Equestra, and more — making it one of Emaar’s largest and most ambitious single-community projects. Equestra is one of the first and most well-positioned clusters in this masterplan, with a 2029 handover that places it among the earliest delivered phases.

Community and Lifestyle

• Grand Polo Club & Resort is Dubai’s first and only dedicated equestrian lifestyle master community — built around polo fields, modern stables, and riding arenas that form the community’s defining identity
• The Clubhouse at the Green Core provides polo field views, resort-quality social facilities, and a neighbourhood hub — an amenity combination unique to this masterplan in the UAE
• Linear parks and green corridors connect all residential clusters, creating a park-adjacent, pedestrian-friendly environment across 5.54 million sq m
• All 4-bedroom units in Equestra are end/corner units — meaning the Type A corner configuration is the standard for all 4-bedroom buyers, but the 2,919 sq ft plot puts this specific unit in the larger plot tier within the 4BR range (2,471–2,990 sq ft)
• Dubai Investment Park 2 (DIP2) — between Dubai Hills Estate, Arabian Ranches, and Expo City Dubai — offers excellent connectivity via Emirates Road (E611) and Expo Road (E77)
• Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) — the planned world’s largest airport at 260 million passengers — is approximately 5 minutes from DIP2, making this one of the best-positioned community addresses for long-term capital demand in the DWC expansion corridor
• Expo City Dubai is approximately 10 minutes — targeting 250,000 permanent residents by 2030, sustaining residential demand in the immediate corridor
• The Oasis by Emaar (Palace Villas Ostra, Address Villas Tierra) is approximately 5 minutes — reinforcing the ultra-luxury neighbourhood premium for the DIP-Emirates Road corridor
• Projected ROI of 6–8% for Equestra, supported by limited supply (334 units), equestrian community branding, and the DWC/Expo City demand corridor

Layout and Floor Plan

Equestra 4-bedroom townhouses range from 2,460 to 2,482 sq ft BUA on plots of 2,471 to 2,990 sq ft. Type A is the end/corner configuration — featuring a wider plot footprint and an additional ground-floor guest bedroom that mid-row Type C units do not include. This specific distress unit has a BUA of 2,460 sq ft on a 2,919 sq ft plot — in the upper range of the Equestra 4BR plot size, confirming its corner/end position with the extended plot width. The G+1 layout distributes across ground floor (open-plan living and dining area with floor-to-ceiling windows and direct access to the private garden, a fully fitted kitchen, a guest bedroom, a maid’s room with bathroom, a powder room, laundry, and parking access) and first floor (master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and private balcony/terrace, two additional bedrooms with wardrobes, family bathroom). Floor-to-ceiling windows throughout flood both floors with natural light. The master suite balcony looks over the community’s landscaped linear park and green corridor. The private garden at ground level is exclusive to the unit. The exact floor plan, unit number, and plot position are available on request quoting reference EQSTRA-GPC-4BR-TypeA-CR-001.

Payment and Handover

Equestra was launched with an 80/20 payment plan: 10% down payment on booking, 70% during construction in staged installments, and 20% on handover (Q2–Q3 2029 — the seller specifies Q2 2029; Emaar’s official published target is August 2029, which is Q3). The buyer assumes the seller’s outstanding payment obligations per the original Emaar schedule. On assignment: DLD Oqood transfer fee 4% (~AED 181,800 on AED 4,545,000) + trustee fee (~AED 4,200) + buyer agency ~2% (~AED 90,900) = approximately AED 4,821,900 all-in at assignment (before remaining construction installments). The 20% handover balance due at Q2–Q3 2029 can be financed by UAE bank mortgage, including for non-resident buyers. The full paid/outstanding installment breakdown and original Emaar SPA are available on request.

Why Invest in Equestra, Grand Polo Club

• 9.3% below OP+DLD — AED 467,684 saving: The seller exits at 9.3% below their total all-in cost, handing the buyer immediate embedded equity before construction completes and before the community’s amenities and DWC corridor appreciation materialise
• Below developer starting price: At AED 4,545,000, this distress unit is AED 355,000 (7.2%) below Emaar’s current published starting price of AED 4.9M for 4-bedroom units in Equestra. A buyer who approached Emaar directly would pay more than this distress price — making this secondary market entry structurally superior to developer pricing
• Type A corner with 2,919 sqft plot — largest accessible configuration: Type A end/corner units deliver the widest plot in the Equestra 4BR range (up to 2,990 sq ft). This specific unit’s 2,919 sq ft plot places it in the premium tier. The additional ground-floor guest bedroom in Type A (versus Type C) adds a materially different living proposition for families — a guest suite with private access is a direct rental and lifestyle value-add
• Dubai’s only equestrian luxury Emaar masterplan — irreplaceable identity: No other master community in Dubai — or the wider UAE — combines Emaar’s residential quality standard with a dedicated polo field, modern stables, riding arenas, and an equestrian clubhouse at this scale. Grand Polo Club & Resort’s 5.54 million sq m equestrian identity is globally distinctive, commanding a brand premium that generic Dubailand communities cannot replicate
• Al Maktoum Airport 5 minutes — mega-catalyst proximity: DWC at 5 minutes from DIP2 is the closest major residential cluster to the world’s planned largest airport. The planned expansion to 260 million passengers creates a structural, multi-decade residential demand catalyst for the DIP-Emirates Road corridor that few other Emaar communities can access
• 20% mortgageable at handover: The 20% balance due at Q2–Q3 2029 can be financed by UAE bank mortgage, enabling investors to leverage the acquisition and generate rental income from day one of delivery to offset mortgage repayments
• Emaar delivery certainty: Grand Polo Club & Resort is a priority Emaar project — with multiple clusters (Selvara, Equiterra 1-2, Equestra) under simultaneous construction, the scale of committed infrastructure spend and Emaar’s delivery track record (Burj Khalifa, Dubai Hills, Arabian Ranches) provide structural delivery confidence for a Q2–Q3 2029 target
• 334-unit scarcity within a 6,661-home masterplan: Equestra’s 334 townhouses represent just 5% of the Grand Polo Club & Resort’s total planned residential output. As the masterplan expands and matures, Phase 1 clusters like Equestra will command first-mover brand premiums versus later phases
• Golden Visa eligible: At AED 4,545,000 — well above the AED 2M threshold — the buyer qualifies for the UAE 10-year Golden Visa
