Introduction
Based on the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai South is a multi-phase development. The master-planned city dubbed “The Centre of Tomorrow” was launched in 2006 as Dubai World Central (DWC) was renamed in 2015. Along with a complete residential district with a wide range of amenities, Dubai South is home to the Expo City (at Expo 2020 site), Al Maktoum International Airport, and a Business Park.
The eight different phases integrate residential, commercial, logistics, aviation, hospitality, and leisure zones in one multi-faceted development under the flagship of the government. This free economic zone in Dubai sprawls over an area of 145 sq. km. with a 7 sq. km. aerospace hub and an 18 sq. km. logistics hub. With many phases currently under construction and many completed over the recent years, Dubai South is also offering freehold plots and off-plan investment opportunity with easy payment plans.

As for the houses, the largest 4-bedroom villas generate the highest ROI of 5.1%, while 2-bedroom ones offer the second highest ROI of 4.5%. 3-bedroom units generate 4.3%.
