The dates are our estimate: we spread the construction share evenly between now and the keys. The developer's real dates follow the building work, so they can move.
Your payments go into the project's escrow account, which RERA watches, not straight to the developer.
Before you buy
Pay into the project's escrow account only.
This project's escrow account is at the bank named on the register above, watched by RERA. Pay into that account, never to a person.
Check the developer's record.
The Dubai Land Department project register lists 13 finished projects by this developer since 2019. 13 of the 13 were finished by the completion date DLD holds now. DLD replaces that date when a project is given more time and keeps no earlier dates, so this can't show which ones ran late.
Budget for the service charge.
Buildings in this area paid a median of AED 14 per sq ft a year in 2023, from 9 buildings on the Dubai Land Department register. For the smallest home (441 sq ft) that is about AED 6,000 a year.
Register the sale with Oqood.
The Land Department records off-plan sales in its Oqood register. Until your sale is on it, the home isn't in your name.

Gross yield is a year's rent before costs, as a share of the price. At the from price: AED 42,000 ÷ AED 650,000 = 6.5%. The home earns nothing until the keys, and new buildings often rent for more than older ones.
Rents come from Ejari, Dubai's register of rent contracts: new residential contracts in the area, all buildings. A median is the middle one: half are lower, half higher.

South Living is a 12-storey Dubai South Properties building in Dubai South with studios to 3-bedroom apartments from AED 650,000 and handover listed for March 2027. The plan asks for 5% on booking, and the from price is 3.7% below 114 similar sales in Dubai South Residential District over the 12 months to October 2026.
Under the 5 / 55 / 40 plan, 5% of the price is due on booking. At the from price that is AED 32,500 on booking, AED 357,500 during construction and AED 260,000 on handover. Handover is listed for March 2027, about four months away, so ask how much of the construction share has already fallen due. The 4% Land Department fee is AED 26,000.
The from price per square foot is 3.7% below 114 similar sales over the 12 months to October 2026, all studio sales in Dubai South Residential District that DLD lists. Compare the price per square foot of the unit you are offered.
The developer lists studios of about 441 sq ft, one-bedroom homes of about 909 sq ft, two-bedroom homes of about 1,240 sq ft and three-bedroom homes of about 1,680 sq ft. The listing gives 441 to 2,677 sq ft overall, so ask for the floor plan of your unit. Residents get a library, a BBQ area, a gym, a multipurpose hall and a swimming pool.
With handover this close, ask Dubai South Properties about construction progress and when the completion certificate is expected. By our map, Al Maktoum Airport clinic is about 1.2 km away, about 2 minutes by car on our estimate. Expo 2020 Metro Station is about 8.4 km away, around 21 minutes by car. Greenfield International School is about 28 minutes away and Jumeirah Lakes Towers about 32 minutes.
