Club Place Golden Visa
Where the AED 2M Line Falls Inside the Price List
Not every apartment at Club Place reaches the Golden Visa threshold. Two and three bedroom layouts clear AED 2M ≈ USD 545K on their own; the one bedroom tier starts below it. See exactly which units qualify, how the 80/20 payment plan affects application timing, and what off-plan buyers need before handover in Q4 2028.

Eligibility Snapshot
Club Place Golden Visa Facts
Club Place is a 473-apartment freehold development by Emaar on the golf course edge of Dubai Hills Estate, registered with the Dubai Land Department under project number 3197 on 26 July 2024, with construction under way since 10 September 2024 across a 46,603.92 sq m and certified at 68.82% progress at the RERA inspection of 16 June 2026. The detail that decides residency planning here: the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment applied under the UAE Golden Visa program runs straight through the price list rather than sitting beneath it. Two bedroom apartments from AED 2.23M ≈ USD 607K and three bedroom apartments from AED 3.40M ≈ USD 926K clear the line on a single title, while one bedroom apartments from AED 1.45M ≈ USD 395K sit below it and do not qualify alone. All of this is subject to the regulations in force when you apply. Handover is expected in Q4 2028, when Oqood registration converts to a title deed.

Unit by Unit
Which Club Place Apartments Meet the AED 2M Threshold
Club Place is one of the projects where the residency question and the layout question have different answers, so it is worth settling before you shortlist a unit. The one bedroom tier is priced as a yield asset and stops short of AED 2M ≈ USD 545K. The two bedroom tier is the first point where a single registered purchase carries eligibility on its own, and the three bedroom tier clears it with room to spare. Sizes below are total areas including balconies and terraces, which run unusually deep in these layouts.
| Unit Type | Built-Up Area | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | 693 to 902 sq ft (64 to 84 sq m) | AED 1.45M ≈ USD 395K | No |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | 1,085 to 1,572 sq ft (101 to 146 sq m) | AED 2.23M ≈ USD 607K | Yes |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | 1,551 to 1,931 sq ft (144 to 179 sq m) | AED 3.40M ≈ USD 926K | Yes |
| The threshold falls between the one and two bedroom tiers. Two and three bedroom apartments qualify individually; one bedroom apartments do not. | |||
Why this matters: eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value of the property, not on its size or its outlook, so a two bedroom apartment contracted at AED 2.23M ≈ USD 607K stays above the line even before handover. A one bedroom apartment at AED 1.45M ≈ USD 395K does not, and reaching AED 2M ≈ USD 545K across more than one property is treated differently from a single qualifying title. Confirm the contract value on your specific unit before applying, since floor, orientation and golf frontage all move the final price.
Payment Plan and Timing
When Off-Plan Buyers at Club Place Can Apply
Emaar sells Club Place on an 80/20 construction-linked plan: 10% on booking plus the 4% DLD fee, 70% across seven instalments of 10% each running from September 2024 to January 2028, and the closing 20% on completion in December 2028. Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration, which Emaar completes after booking, together with proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any payment conditions applied by the Dubai Land Department and residency authorities at the time you apply.
My read on the timing: the elapsed schedule works in your favour here, and that is unusual. Because the plan is milestone-linked and the build was certified at 68.82% in June 2026, a buyer entering now settles the instalments already invoiced against the chosen unit at booking rather than paying 10% and waiting. Paid value therefore climbs to a substantial share of the contract on day one, which shortens the gap to the paid-value conditions commonly applied to off-plan files. Buyers with no urgency can still take the simplest possible route and wait for the title deed at handover in Q4 2028, when the application rests on completed, registered ownership. Because requirements for off-plan applications are updated from time to time, confirm the current paid-value condition before submitting.
VIP processing, zero service fee: for buyers who purchase through me, the full application service, document preparation, submission, and status follow-up, is included free. You pay only the official government fees published by the issuing authorities.

Project Insights for Club Place Golden Visa Buyers
A qualifying purchase at Club Place rests on more than the price on the reservation form. Track the certified progress carrying the build toward its title deed, confirm that every instalment lands in the escrow account, and plan the pre-handover inspection before you accept keys.

Club Place Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
Two and three bedroom apartments do. Two bedroom layouts start at AED 2.23M ≈ USD 607K and three bedroom layouts at AED 3.40M ≈ USD 926K, both above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment applied under the UAE Golden Visa program. One bedroom apartments start at AED 1.45M ≈ USD 395K and fall below that line, so they do not qualify on their own. Full criteria are set out in the Golden Visa requirements guide.
Not on their own. The one bedroom tier starts at AED 1.45M ≈ USD 395K, below the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold, and eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value of the property rather than its size or outlook. Reaching the threshold across more than one property is treated differently from a single qualifying title, and the conditions in force at the time of application decide what is accepted.
Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration and proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any paid-value conditions applied at the time of application. Buyers who prefer a simpler file wait for the title deed at handover in Q4 2028. The process is explained step by step in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.
The plan is 10% on booking plus the 4% DLD fee, 70% across seven instalments of 10% each running from September 2024 to January 2028, and the closing 20% on completion in December 2028. Because the schedule is milestone-linked and progress was certified at 68.82% in June 2026, a purchase today settles the instalments already invoiced against the chosen unit at booking, so paid value reaches a substantial share of the contract immediately rather than building up over years.
At handover in Q4 2028 the Oqood registration converts to a title deed, and an application then rests on completed, registered ownership instead of an off-plan contract. The qualifying value is still assessed on the registered purchase price, so a two or three bedroom apartment contracted above AED 2M ≈ USD 545K remains above the line at that point.
Yes. Club Place is freehold and open to all nationalities, with ownership registered at the Dubai Land Department, which is a requirement for property-based Golden Visa eligibility. Buyer payments are held in a DLD-registered escrow account with Emirates NBD, detailed on the Club Place escrow account page.
No. For buyers who purchase through this advisory, the VIP application service, covering document preparation, submission, and status follow-up, is included at no charge. Only the official government fees apply, as published by the issuing authorities at the time of application.
No. The purchase makes you eligible to apply, but approval depends on satisfying all requirements in force at the time of application, including ownership verification and standard background checks. Construction status can be checked at any time on the Club Place construction updates page.
