Location: Dubai South
Dubai South is a large master-planned area in the south-west of Dubai. It is built around Al Maktoum International Airport and is close to Expo City Dubai. On DLD records the area appears as Madinat Al Mataar, so you may see both names in title documents and listings.
The area is still developing. It tends to suit buyers who are comfortable with a growing community and who are interested in its long-term links to the airport and the wider south of Dubai. Check the drive time to your workplace, schools and Dubai Marina or Downtown before you decide, as distances in this part of the city can be longer than they look on a map.

Construction progress and handover
According to the DLD, work began in April 2025 and the project was 60% complete at the time of the register entry. The expected completion date is Q3 2026. That is an expected date, not a promise, and handover dates can move.
Before you buy, it is sensible to:
- Ask for the latest construction update and site photos.
- Check the project number (4359) on the DLD register.
- Read the handover clause and the delay terms in the sales and purchase agreement (SPA).
- Ask what is included in the unit at handover and what the service charges are expected to be.
About the developer
The developer is Essa Bokhowa Properties L.L.C. It is not one of the largest names in Dubai property, so we keep to the facts in the register. Ask for the developer's other completed or current projects, and check them yourself. You can see its other listings on our Essa Bokhowa projects page.
How to buy off-plan in Cresswell Plaza
- Choose a unit. Ask Dani for the availability list, floor plans and price list.
- Reserve it. You pay a reservation deposit and sign a reservation form. Check what is refundable.
- Sign the SPA. Read the payment schedule, handover date and delay terms.
- Register with the DLD. Off-plan sales are registered on the Oqood system. The DLD registration fee is usually 4% of the price, plus smaller admin fees.
- Pay into escrow. Under Dubai law, buyers' instalments for a registered off-plan project go into a project escrow account, not to the developer directly. Pay only to the account named in your contract.
- Handover. Inspect the unit, list any snags and then complete the final payment.
Foreign buyers can usually buy in designated freehold areas of Dubai. Confirm the status of this location when you reserve. The Golden Visa property threshold is AED 2 million. Since the price is not in our data, we cannot say whether a unit here would qualify.
