Dubai South, a visionary project neighboring Dubai’s bustling Jebel Ali area and the iconic Expo City, is quickly transforming into one of the UAE’s most captivating new districts. Fueled by the unwavering vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, this once-untapped area is unlocking its potential to create a progressive and sustainable future for residents and investors.
A key driver of this growth is the colossal $35 billion expansion of Al Maktoum International Airport. This expansion will solidify the airport’s position as the world’s largest, boasting a capacity of 260 million passengers – a staggering five times the size of Dubai International Airport. Surrounding this impressive development, the Dubai South Freezone is flourishing into a dynamic economic hub, fostering businesses and services in technology, events, hospitality, and groundbreaking new industries.
Sustainability sits at the heart of Dubai South’s transformation. By embracing cutting-edge smart city and green technologies, the district is aligning perfectly with the UAE’s vision. This commitment results in the creation of enduring and eco-conscious communities, a highly sought-after attribute for modern living.
Real estate offerings in Dubai South are already captivating investors. Upscale residential projects by Damac, waterfront havens with luxury leisure facilities at Southbay Lagoon, a peaceful golf course community by Emaar, and the exciting transformation of Expo City into a fully integrated modern village are just a few examples.
Arash Jalili, CEO of Unique Properties, a trusted partner in real estate investment with over 300 successful sales in Dubai South, sheds light on the development’s appeal:
“Investors are seizing the opportunity to secure their stake in Dubai South at a fraction of the cost compared to established areas like Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, and Dubai Marina. This surge in interest is fueled by the area’s immense potential for capital appreciation as the development matures,” Mr. Jalili explains. “Unique Properties, with its talented sales team, is proud to have facilitated over 300 unit sales in Dubai South, solidifying our position as a trusted partner in this exciting market.”
This trend is only expected to accelerate as businesses and residents relocate to the area in tandem with the growth of Al Maktoum Airport. In just the past six months, rental values in Dubai South have skyrocketed by 19.6%. Data projections anticipate an influx of up to one million residents and over 500,000 new jobs in the near to medium term, further propelling the district’s growth.
“Unique Properties is honored to be ranked among the top 10 brokerages working with Emaar, a leading developer in the region,” Mr. Jalili adds. “This esteemed partnership grants us access to Emaar’s innovative projects and master developments in Dubai South, solidifying the area’s position as a prime investment destination. Expo City, in particular, has garnered significant interest from European and Chinese investors. To cater to these demographics, Unique Properties has dedicated European and Chinese teams offering tailored advice and exceptional service.”
Beyond its strategic location, additional factors contribute to Dubai South’s rising investment value. The district boasts freezone status, offering 100% foreign ownership, complete corporate and personal tax exemption, an on-site visa and licensing authority, and infrastructure-ready plots – a dream scenario for businesses and investors.
