Location: Dubai South
Buyers know the area as Dubai South. The DLD records it as Madinat Al Mataar, which means "airport city" in Arabic. Dubai South is a large master-planned area in the south-west of Dubai. It is close to Al Maktoum International Airport and Expo City Dubai, and it is reached from main highways such as Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road.
The area is still developing, so surroundings and services will change over the coming years. It may suit buyers who:
- want an entry into a newer part of Dubai rather than an established central district;
- are interested in the airport and logistics growth around the area;
- are comfortable buying early and waiting for the community to mature.
Visit the area before you buy. Check the drive to work, schools and shops. See all off-plan projects in Dubai South to compare options.
Construction progress and handover
The DLD data shows construction began in January 2026 and had reached 15%. The expected completion date is Q3 2027. This is an expected date from the register. It can change, so do not treat it as fixed.
Before you buy, check these points:
- The latest progress figure, as the DLD updates it over time.
- The handover date written in the sales and purchase agreement (SPA), and what happens if it is late.
- The payment schedule and whether instalments are linked to construction milestones.
- The service charge estimate once the building is complete.

How to buy off-plan in Astra Residences
- Get the facts. Request the current price list, floor plans and payment plan. Contact Dani for prices, as they are not in the register data.
- Reserve a unit. You normally pay a reservation deposit and sign a reservation form.
- Sign the SPA. Read the handover date, payment schedule and penalty terms with care.
- Register with the DLD. Off-plan sales are registered on the Oqood system. The DLD registration fee is 4% of the purchase price, plus smaller admin fees.
- Pay into escrow. Under Dubai law, buyer instalments for registered off-plan projects go into a project escrow account, not to the developer directly. Confirm the account details in writing before you pay.
- Handover. Inspect the unit, list defects and complete the final payment.
Foreign buyers can purchase in designated freehold areas of Dubai. Confirm with Dani that this project is eligible for your situation. The Golden Visa threshold is AED 2 million in property value, so the price of the unit you choose will matter. Rules change, so check the current requirements.
