About Dubai South
Based on the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai South is a multi-phase development. The master-planned city was dubbed The Centre of Tomorrow and launched in 2006 as Dubai World Central (DWC), it was then renamed in 2015 as Dubai South. Along with a complete residential district and 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 opportunities with easy payment plans.
