Emerging District · Dubai
Dubai South is a 145km² planned city surrounding Al Maktoum International Airport, which is set to become the world's largest airport. The Expo 2020 site has been repurposed as Expo City Dubai — a tech and innovation district anchored by major exhibitions, offices, and an emerging residential community.
With Al Maktoum Airport expansion progressing and Emirates HQ campus planned for relocation, Dubai South is positioned as one of Dubai's highest-growth long-term investments. Current yields (7–9%) are strong relative to price points, and early-entry investors in the Emaar South and Pulse communities are seeing significant capital gains.
