Dubai South has quickly become one of the most talked-about areas in Dubai’s real estate market. It’s set to play a major role in Dubai’s future, with Al Maktoum International Airport expected to take over all flights within the next 10 years.
There’s still plenty of land available for development, which means property prices remain extremely affordable for investors today. With major developers launching new projects and road infrastructure upgrades underway, Dubai South is expected to see strong capital gains in the coming years.
