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 (DWC) and sits close to the former Expo 2020 site, now Expo City Dubai. The DLD files this land under the name Madinat Al Mataar, so you may see both names in documents.
The area is still developing. Its plan combines residential districts, logistics and business zones, and the airport. It is generally of interest to buyers who take a long-term view of Dubai's southern growth, and to people who want to be near the airport and the Jebel Ali side of the city. Journey times to central Dubai are longer than from established areas, so check the route and commute yourself before you buy.

Construction progress and handover
The DLD register shows 0% progress. It gives a construction start of January 2027 and an expected completion of Q2 2028. Tessera is therefore an early-stage project and is not ready to move into.
Handover dates in the register are expected dates. They can change. Before you reserve a unit, it is sensible to check:
- the current construction progress, as reported by the DLD and the developer;
- the handover date written in the Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA);
- what the SPA says if completion is delayed;
- the service charge estimate, once the developer has one.
About the developer
The developer is South Sanctuary Road Real Estate Development L.L.C S.o.c. We do not have verified details here about its past projects, so we do not make claims about its track record. Ask for its delivered and current projects, and check them on the DLD register. You can see the developer's other launches on our South Sanctuary Road projects page.
How to buy off-plan in Tessera
The usual steps for an off-plan purchase in Dubai are:
- Choose a unit and reserve it. You pay a booking deposit. The amount depends on the developer.
- Sign the SPA. This sets out the price, payment schedule and handover terms. Read it carefully.
- Register the sale with the DLD. Off-plan sales are registered through Oqood. The DLD registration fee is 4% of the purchase price, plus smaller admin fees.
- Pay into the escrow account. Under Dubai law, buyer instalments for registered off-plan projects go into a project escrow account that is regulated. They do not go to the developer directly. Confirm the escrow details in writing before you pay.
- Handover. When the project is complete, you inspect the unit, pay the final instalment and receive the title deed.
Foreign buyers can generally buy property in designated freehold areas of Dubai. Whether Tessera qualifies for a Golden Visa depends on the final price of the unit. The usual threshold is AED 2 million, and visa rules change. Check them before you rely on them.
