Tessera Residences by Al Ghurair
Tessera is the townhouse idea lifted into the air: a private foyer, an open terrace and daylight cut into every plan. It is the first UAE project by Aires Mateus, standing low and quiet in Dubai South, a short walk from the central park.

Project Overview
Tessera Residences is a five-storey building by Al Ghurair Development in the Dubai South Residential District. The release is limited to 80 homes with two and three bedrooms, arranged as lateral apartments and two-level duplexes. Each plan opens from a private entrance foyer into living and dining areas that reach open-air terraces, and every home includes an adaptable additional suite for a maid's room, study or playroom. The architecture is by the Lisbon practice Aires Mateus, in their first UAE project. Amenities run from the landscaped ground floor up to a rooftop pool deck. The Pulse Central Park is 0.3 km away, Expo City Dubai 7.5 km.

Key points
Rooftop pool with a separate children's pool
The roof holds a resort-style pool shaped in soft, organic curves that flow from an adult expanse into a shallower children's pool. Landscaped sun terraces mirror its outline, so the level reads as a water garden rather than a standard rooftop deck. Because Tessera is only five storeys and sits in a low-density district, the outlook from the roof stays open instead of facing neighbouring towers. It is the part of the building residents are most likely to use daily.
Aires Mateus architecture, the studio's UAE debut
Tessera is the first UAE project by Aires Mateus, the Lisbon practice founded in 1988 by brothers Manuel and Francisco Aires Mateus and known internationally for working with void, mass and light. Here the approach becomes a permeable facade grid, deep open-air terraces and pockets of daylight cut into each plan, so the homes read closer to townhouses than to standard apartments. The building is lifted on columns, with the landscape running beneath it. For buyers this is an architect-led project rather than a volume release, which is still rare in Dubai South.

FAQ
-
Who is the developer of Tessera Residences?

The group states a portfolio of over 20,000 residential and commercial units and 1,000 hotel rooms across 8 countries, and its earlier work includes the facade glazing of Burj Khalifa.
-
Where is Tessera Residences located?
Tessera is in the Dubai South Residential District, next to The Pulse Central Park, about 0.3 km away, with community retail alongside. Expo City Dubai is 7.5 km away and Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) is in the immediate area.
-

The project has 80 residences: 48 two-bedroom apartments with a maid's room of 1,252-1,358 sq.ft, 16 two-bedroom duplexes with a maid's room and study of 1,585 sq.ft, and 16 three-bedroom apartments with a maid's room of 1,531-1,577 sq.ft. The areas quoted by the developer are average figures per layout type.
-
What is the starting price at Tessera Residences?
Prices start from AED 2.0M (USD 545K) for a two-bedroom residence. Two-bedroom duplexes start from AED 2.7M and three-bedroom homes from AED 2.6M.
-
What payment plan is available at Tessera Residences?
The project offers a 35/65 plan: 10% on reservation, 10% within 60 days, 5% within 180 days, 5% within 12 months or at the 25% construction milestone, 5% within 18 months or at the 35% milestone, and 65% on completion.
-
When is Tessera Residences expected to be completed?
Completion is expected in 2028; the developer's current estimate is the fourth quarter.
-
What amenities are available at Tessera Residences?
The rooftop holds a resort-style pool, a separate children's pool and landscaped sun terraces. The ground floor has an indoor gym with floor-to-ceiling glazing, an outdoor gym, a yoga and meditation studio, residents' lounges with a co-working area, an outdoor dining and picnic area, an outdoor cinema, kids play areas and landscaped walking paths. Community retail and a supermarket are next to the building.
-
Who designed Tessera Residences?
The building was designed by Aires Mateus, a practice founded in Lisbon in 1988 by brothers Manuel and Francisco Aires Mateus and known for a sculptural architecture built around void and light. Manuel Aires Mateus received the Pessoa Prize in 2017. Tessera is the studio's first project in the UAE.
-
Can foreigners buy property at Tessera Residences?
Yes. Dubai South is a designated freehold area, so buyers of any nationality can hold full ownership. Under general UAE rules, a property purchase from AED 2M also meets the threshold for the 10-year Golden Visa; eligibility is decided by the authorities, not by the developer.
-
Is Tessera Residences suitable for living?
The project is built for families who want space without moving to a villa: two or three bedrooms, an additional flexible room, a private entrance foyer and open-air terraces, with a park 0.3 km away and community retail next door. Only 80 homes share the amenities. The trade-off is Dubai South itself, a district still filling in, with about 30 minutes by car to Downtown.
-
What is nearby Tessera Residences?
By car, Dubai Marina and JBR are about 17 minutes away, Palm Jumeirah 18, Mall of the Emirates 19, Downtown Dubai and Burj Khalifa 30, and Dubai International Airport about 40. Al Maktoum International Airport is far closer. Jumeirah Golf Estates is 8.2 km away, Trump International Golf Club 8.8 km and The Els Club 9.7 km.
