Equestra Grand Polo Club & Resort Dubai

Equestra is a townhouse and villa release by Emaar Properties at Grand Polo Club & Resort, the equestrian master community Emaar is building in Dubai Investment Park, near Al Maktoum International Airport. The new-project pages give it as 361 homes: 334 townhouses, of which 204 are three-bedroom and 130 four-bedroom, and 27 five-bedroom villas. Emaar describes the cluster as a spiral round a planted central courtyard with water features. The townhouses run from about 2,176 to 2,471 sq ft.

Prices started at AED 3.7 M (about Rs 9.53 crore) at the sales launch, on a 10/70/20 plan with nothing after handover, and handover is recorded for August 2029. Equestra sits in the same community as Equiterra 2, a townhouse release of almost identical sizes that starts about AED 200,000 lower. This page sets out what that difference buys and what the entry townhouse costs once every fee is in.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

We print AED 3,700,000 because propsearch gives it as the price at the time of the sales launch, and the Property Finder new-project page and several broker pages give the same AED 3.7 M for a three-bedroom. The averages do not agree: propsearch puts the launch average at AED 4 M for a three-bedroom and AED 5 M for a four-bedroom, another page at AED 3.7 M and AED 4.9 M. The size range is not tied to each plan in any source, so the rate above assumes the AED 3.7 M unit is the smallest townhouse; Emaar's floor plan for the unit you are offered settles it.

No source prices the 27 five-bedroom villas; if a broker quotes one, ask whether it is Emaar's price or a resale ask with a premium. The source listing carries no price.

Against Equiterra 2 and Montura 3

Equiterra 2 prints three-bedroom townhouses of about 2,163 - 2,180 sq ft from AED 3.5 M and four-bedrooms of about 2,460 - 2,471 sq ft from AED 4.6 M. Equestra's townhouses are almost exactly the same size, so its AED 3.7 M entry is about 5% more per foot: roughly AED 1,700 against AED 1,610. What the premium pays for is the courtyard layout and the villa row inside the cluster, not a bigger house.

At the other end of Grand Polo, Montura 3 sells standalone four-bedroom villas of about 3,840 sq ft from AED 7.07 M, about AED 1,840 per sq ft. An Equestra townhouse is roughly half that entry for about 57% of the space, which is why the townhouse releases are where most first-time Grand Polo buyers start.

Payment plan and total cost

The plan is 10/70/20: 10% to book, 70% in instalments through construction and 20% at handover. Some pages call it 80/20. One broker page prints 90/10, which no other source repeats; the payment schedule in your SPA decides it. Ask whether the 70% falls on dates or on construction milestones.

Worked example: a AED 3,700,000 three-bedroom townhouse

The 4% DLD fee is normally paid when the sale is registered on Oqood, at the start, so the first cheque is about AED 522,000 rather than AED 370,000. A broker, if one is involved, adds 2% plus VAT, about AED 77,700, though Emaar often pays the agent on its own launches; ask. The 70% is the part to plan around: about AED 2.59 M across roughly three years, whatever happens to your own income in that time.

Service charge. Emaar has not published a budget for Equestra or for Grand Polo. A community that runs three polo fields, stables for 180 horses, a riding school and a clubhouse has costs a plain villa estate does not, though how they are split between the cluster and any club membership is not set out anywhere we could read. On a 2,176 sq ft townhouse every AED 1 per sq ft a year is about AED 2,180. Get the figure in writing before you sign.

Location and connectivity

Grand Polo Club & Resort is a 5.54 million sq m master plan that Emaar unveiled on 23 April 2025, in Dubai Investment Park; one source places it in DIP 2 at the junction of Expo Road (E77) and Emirates Road (E611). Emaar plans 22 villa communities and more than 6,600 homes there. Propsearch lists thirteen clusters released so far, Equestra among them.

Broker pages put Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) about 5 minutes away, Expo City Dubai about 10, Dubai Marina 25 to 28 and Downtown Dubai about 35. We could not check those times against a map source, so drive the route at rush hour before booking. There is no Dubai Metro inside the community; the nearest station is on the Red Line branch that ends at Expo City. Plan on two cars for a family.

The neighbours named on the community pages are Emaar's own: The Oasis and the newer Heights Country Club & Wellness. In 2029 you will move in while other clusters hand over around you. Compare the rest of the district on all Dubai projects we track and in the full projects list.

Amenities and specifications

Emaar's own description of Equestra is a spiral plan wrapped round a green central courtyard, with water features and framed views out to the polo fields. The portals list the cluster's own amenities as fitness zones, MUGA courts (multi-use games areas), half-basketball courts, picnic areas and linear parks, with the community clubhouse overlooking the fields.

The reason to buy at Grand Polo at all is its Green Core: three polo fields, private stables for 180 horses with a members' lounge, a riding school, jumping arenas and a clubhouse with a rooftop infinity pool. Emaar gives the polo fields and stables together as about 340,000 sq m. Whether an Equestra owner gets stabling or club access as of right, or pays for it separately, is not set out in the sources; ask Emaar for the terms in writing.

Not published: the finish schedule, plot and villa sizes, private pools, parking and appliance brands. The SPA's schedule of finishes is the binding list. Final as per the SPA.

About the developer

Emaar Properties built Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall and Downtown Dubai and master-planned Dubai Marina, Arabian Ranches and Dubai Hills Estate. Its development arm, Emaar Development, says it has delivered more than 84,000 homes since 2002, including 3,633 in the first half of 2026, and has more than 51,000 under development in the UAE. In that half the group booked AED 26.6 billion of property sales and its revenue backlog reached AED 164.9 billion.

Grand Polo Club & Resort was among 48 residential launches Emaar made in 2025, a record year for the company. The caveat is that the community is new: no Grand Polo cluster has been handed over, and Emaar is building Equestra, both Equiterra releases and the Montura and Selvara phases at once. Emaar has the balance sheet for it; what that volume does to resale prices in 2029 is the risk to price in. See every Emaar project in Dubai for the rest of its pipeline.

For Indian buyers

Ownership. Grand Polo Club & Resort is freehold for all nationalities, Indian buyers included. During the build your purchase is an Oqood record at the DLD; after handover the DLD issues the title deed in your name. The UAE has no annual property tax and no VAT on a residential sale; the government cost is the 4% DLD transfer fee, AED 148,000 on the entry townhouse.

Remittance. Under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme each person can send USD 250,000 per financial year, so a couple can send USD 500,000. The entry townhouse with fees is about AED 3.85 M, roughly USD 1.05 million. The first cheque with the DLD fee is about AED 522,000, around USD 142,000, which fits one person's allowance. The rest falls across about three years, so a couple has room; one buyer alone would need more than four years of allowance. TCS of 20% applies above Rs 10 lakh a year and is adjusted against your income tax.

Golden Visa. The property route needs AED 2 million, and every Equestra home clears it on price. For an off-plan purchase, how much must have been paid before it counts has changed over time; confirm the current rule with the visa authority.

Rent and tax. No Grand Polo home is finished, so any yield a broker quotes is a projection; each 1% of gross yield on AED 3.7 M is AED 37,000 a year. The rent is untaxed in the UAE; an Indian tax resident declares it in India with the 30% standard deduction and reports the home as a foreign asset in the return.

Pros

• A townhouse way into Grand Polo's polo address at about half the entry of a Montura villa
• 27 five-bedroom villas and a courtyard plan set it apart from the all-townhouse Equiterra releases
• 10% to book and nothing after handover
• Every unit, from AED 3.7 M, clears the AED 2 M Golden Visa threshold
• Emaar's delivery record: more than 84,000 homes since 2002

Cons

• About 5% more per sq ft than Equiterra 2's townhouses of almost the same size
• Handover in August 2029 in a community where nothing is finished yet
• No service-charge budget for a community with polo fields, stables and a riding school
• Sources disagree on the launch averages and the home count (361 or 334); villa prices and sizes are unpublished
• Thirteen Grand Polo clusters hand over around 2029, which will crowd the resale and rental market; no metro

Who this is for

• Families who want a townhouse beside polo fields and a riding school and can wait to 2029
• Golden Visa buyers with about AED 3.9 M to spend, fees included
• Buyers after one of only 27 five-bedroom villas in a townhouse-priced cluster
• Couples able to fund about USD 1.05 million through the LRS over three to four years

Who should look elsewhere

• Buyers who compare on price per foot alone: Equiterra 2 is cheaper for the same size
• Anyone who needs rent or keys before late 2029
• Metro commuters to Downtown, DIFC or Business Bay
• Anyone planning a quick resale in a pipeline of more than 6,600 Grand Polo homes

Our verdict

Equestra is Grand Polo's townhouse release with a twist: 27 five-bedroom villas inside a cluster otherwise built of townhouses, and a courtyard plan rather than straight rows. On price it sits between Equiterra 2 and the Montura villas: about AED 1,700 per sq ft on the smallest townhouse, against about AED 1,610 at Equiterra 2 and AED 1,840 for a Montura 3 villa. The townhouses are almost the same size as Equiterra 2's, so the extra AED 200,000 buys the layout and the position, not space. The risks are Grand Polo's own: nothing finished yet, no published service charge, and thirteen clusters handing over around 2029.

A sound Emaar buy for an end user who wants a polo-side townhouse, or one of the 27 villas, and can hold past 2029. Put a named Equestra unit beside the nearest Equiterra 2 unit on Emaar's list before booking, and pay the extra only if the courtyard position is worth it to you. Buyers who need rent soon, or who are shopping on price per foot, should look elsewhere.

FAQs

What is the price of Equestra?

Townhouses started at AED 3.7 M (about Rs 9.53 crore) at the sales launch. Launch averages differ by source: propsearch gives AED 4 M for a three-bedroom and AED 5 M for a four-bedroom, another page AED 3.7 M and AED 4.9 M. No source prices the five-bedroom villas. Emaar's price list on the day settles it.

What is the payment plan?

10% on booking, 70% during construction and 20% at handover. On AED 3,700,000 that is AED 370,000, AED 2,590,000 and AED 740,000, plus AED 148,000 of DLD transfer fee, usually paid with the booking.

When is handover?

August 2029 on propsearch and the portals, written as Q3 2029 by some. No construction percentage is published. The SPA date binds.

How is Equestra different from Equiterra 2?

Both are Emaar townhouse releases at Grand Polo of almost the same sizes. Equestra has 361 homes including 27 five-bedroom villas, is laid out round a central courtyard, starts at AED 3.7 M and hands over in August 2029. Equiterra 2 has 384 three and four-bedroom townhouses, starts at AED 3.5 M on the portals and is recorded for July 2029.

How many homes are there?

The new-project pages give 361: 204 three-bedroom and 130 four-bedroom townhouses and 27 five-bedroom villas. Propsearch counts 334 three and four-bedroom townhouses, which matches the townhouse figure and leaves out the villas.

Does Equestra qualify for the UAE Golden Visa?

Yes on price: every unit is above the AED 2 M property threshold. For an off-plan home the amount that must have been paid before it counts has changed over time; confirm the current rule with the visa authority.

What is the service charge?

Not published for Equestra or Grand Polo. On a 2,176 sq ft townhouse every AED 1 per sq ft a year is about AED 2,180. Ask Emaar for the budgeted rate in writing before you book.

Can an Indian buyer own a home here?

Yes. Grand Polo Club & Resort is freehold for all nationalities. Money leaves India under the LRS, up to USD 250,000 per person per financial year, and the DLD issues the title deed in your name after handover.
