The Dubai South master plan is a vision of a "city within a city," designed to be the primary engine of Dubai's future economy. At its heart, the world’s largest airport, Al Maktoum International, which acts as the gravity for everything around it.
The plan is built on a 145-square-kilometre canvas, divided into eight specialised districts that allow people to live, work and play without ever really needing to leave the area. It is essentially a giant and self-sustaining ecosystem where aviation and logistics seamlessly blend with quiet residential neighbourhoods and high-tech business parks.
The master plan focuses on the concept of the 15-minute city. The layout is designed in a way that residents can reach their office, a grocery store, a park, or a school within a 15-minute walk or bike ride from their front door.
Instead of the dense, vertical concrete jungles found in parts of central Dubai, the master plan here prioritises wider boulevards, more green space and lower-rise buildings that feel more approachable and community-oriented.
The projects also lean heavily into the legacy of Expo 2020. Transforming the Expo site into Expo City Dubai, the master plan created a permanent hub for innovation and culture that anchors the northern side of the development.
Dubai South offers a diverse mix of property types:
It offers mid-rise apartments ranging from studios to three-bedroom units, spacious two to four-bedroom townhouses mainly within Emaar South, and a limited selection of golf course-facing villas. The community also includes workforce-focused affordable housing near logistics zones and mixed-use developments combining residential, retail, and office spaces.
