Golf Acres at Emaar South Escrow Account

Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank holds the escrow account for Golf Acres, account number 1113*****20031 (shown in full in the Escrow Details section above), opened under DLD project number 3426 when the project was registered on 11 December 2024.

The developer registered with the Dubai Land Department for project 3426 is Emaar Dubai South DWC LLC, developer number 1155. This is the Emaar entity licensed for the Dubai South district, so the name shown in Dubai REST differs from Emaar Properties. The escrow releases are made to that registered entity.

Golf Acres uses an 80/20 construction linked plan with no post handover component. The 10 percent booking payment, the 4 percent DLD registration fee, the AED 3,000 Oqood fee, and the six dated instalments from September 2026 to June 2028 are all paid into the escrow account. The bank releases funds to the developer only against construction certified by DLD inspections, and the final 20 percent is due on 100 percent construction and handover, expected in Q4 2028.

The RERA inspection dated 23 June 2026 certified 3.47 percent completion, up from 0.01 percent at the previous inspection, with the site recorded in mobilisation, enabling works, and piling. Construction began on 23 May 2025. Inspection by inspection detail is tracked on the Golf Acres construction updates page.

The protection continues regardless of the calendar. Funds remain in the escrow account and are released only against certified progress, so a delay does not move money outside DLD supervision. Escrow protects the capital while the project is completed; it does not itself compensate for delay, and any compensation terms sit in the Sales and Purchase Agreement.

No. Every off-plan payment for Golf Acres must go into the DLD-registered escrow account 1113*****20031 at Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (the full number sits in the Escrow Details section above), exactly as recorded in the Sales and Purchase Agreement. A request to send funds to a personal account, an agent's account, or an alternative company account, particularly one paired with a discount for paying directly, is the standard pattern of payment fraud however official the paperwork appears. Any such request should be checked against the escrow account registered in Dubai REST and the details in the Sales and Purchase Agreement before any funds are sent.

If the Dubai Land Department cancels a registered project, RERA takes control of the escrow account and buyer refunds are processed from the protected funds under DLD supervision. This is why paying only into the registered account matters: funds sent anywhere else sit outside that mechanism entirely. The wider framework is explained in the Dubai Land Department guide.

Yes, Golf Acres at Emaar South is a freehold project, open to all nationalities.

It depends on the layout. The 10-year Golden Visa property route requires an investment of at least AED 2 million (approx USD 545,000). At Golf Acres, 1 bedroom apartments from AED 1.05 million (approx USD 286,000) and 2 bedroom apartments from AED 1.90 million (approx USD 517,000) sit below that threshold on a single unit basis, while 3 bedroom apartments from AED 3.14 million (approx USD 855,000) and 3 bedroom townhouses from AED 4.73 million (approx USD 1.29 million) sit above it. The requirements and application steps are covered in the Golf Acres Golden Visa guide.
