This is South Square

South Square is a residential project by Dubai South Properties in Dubai South. It consists of several medium-high towers with apartments with 1, 2, 3 and 5 bedrooms. Handover is scheduled for Q4 2028. The prices start from AED 1,110,000. The project is embedded in rapidly growing Dubai South, near Al Maktoum International Airport and Expo City. The community is set up around wellness, with water features, green zones and a range of amenities. The architecture uses a natural color palette with stone tones and wood accents, and large windows for natural light. Each apartment has a balcony overlooking the green or water. The project also includes a retail promenade, co-working rooms and a multi-purpose hall. This makes South Square an interesting option for those who want to live or invest in an emerging part of Dubai.

Dubai South is a strategically located area with direct access to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, Expo Road and Emirates Road. Al Maktoum International Airport, which will define the next phase of aviation, is approximately 5 minutes away. Expo City can also be reached within 5 minutes. Downtown Dubai is approximately 35 minutes away, Dubai Marina is 20 minutes away and Palm Jumeirah is 25 minutes away. This location makes South Square attractive for both residents travelling daily and investors who want to benefit from the growth of southern Dubai. The combination of a wellness-oriented community, affordable entry prices and a handover date in 2028 offers an interesting proposition. The project is developed by Dubai South, the master developer of the area, which gives confidence in quality and execution.

Unit types and layouts in South Square

The apartments in South Square vary in size from 71 to 236 m2, spread over homes with 1, 2, 3 and 5 bedrooms. The layout is designed for efficient flow, with open living areas that seamlessly pass into the kitchen. Large windows from floor to ceiling provide plenty of natural light and a sense of space. Each home has a balcony or terrace overlooking the green surroundings or the water party. The materials are carefully chosen: stone tones, wood accents and neutral colours create a calm atmosphere. The finish is of high quality, with attention to detail. Compact one-bedroom apartments feel complete due to smart layouts, while the larger five-bedroom homes offer the volume of a spacious family home. All units are designed to facilitate everyday life, with sufficient storage space and functional layouts.

The homes are finished with materials that stimulate the senses without overwhelming. The emphasis is on simplicity and functionality, with clean lines and hidden storage space. In the larger apartments there is room for a separate study or guest room. The bathrooms are equipped with modern sanitary and high-quality tiles. The kitchens are supplied with built-in appliances and sufficient worktop. Each home is equipped with central air conditioning and smart thermostats. The floors are made of ceramic tiles or woodlook, depending on the type. The balconies are spacious enough for a small seating area. The common areas, such as the lobby, are designed with a grandiose look. The towers are so placed that residents on lower floors also enjoy the view of the water party and the greenery. This ensures a quiet and serene living environment.

Dubai South and build quality

South Square consists of several medium-high towers embedded in a natural color palette. The facades combine warm stone tones with woodlook blinds and large glass panes that let much light in. Each tower has its own entrance with a spacious lobby. The buildings are not randomly placed; they are so oriented that residents have a view of the existing water party and the green zones. The complex is divided into interconnected residential areas, each around a shared outdoor area with swimming pools, ecological gardens, running routes and meditation zones. In addition, there is a shopping promenade for daily necessities. A co-working space and a multifunctional room make the project suitable for homeworkers and social activities.

Dubai South Properties is the real estate branch of Dubai South, the entire districtโ€™s master developer. As a government-related entity, Dubai South is responsible for the development of the area around Al Maktoum International Airport and Expo City. The company has a strong focus on sustainability and the creation of viable communities. South Square is one of the latest projects in this growth corridor. The developer is known for his attention to detail and the integration of green and water into the master plans. Due to the scale of the district and the involvement of the government, the project offers a certain degree of confidence for investors. The implementation of South Square is expected to be delivered in Q4 2028 according to the developerโ€™s planning.

Where South Square sits in Dubai South

South Square is located in Dubai South, a rapidly growing district in southern Dubai. The area is strategically located near Al Maktoum International Airport, which is approximately 5 minutesโ€™ drive away. Expo City, the location of the 2020 World Exhibition, can also be reached within 5 minutes. The district is well connected via three major highways: Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, Expo Road and Emirates Road. This makes it easy to reach other parts of Dubai: Dubai Marina is about 20 minutes away, Palm Jumeirah is about 25 minutes away and Downtown Dubai is about 35 minutes away. This central location in an emerging urban hub makes South Square attractive for both commuters and investors who want to benefit from future growth.

The immediate vicinity of South Square is characterized by a central water party that serves as a green lung of the community. Around this pond are walking trails, sitting areas and outdoor fitness equipment. The presence of water and greenery is a rarity in this part of Dubai and contributes to a quiet living environment. Furthermore, the community offers its own shopping promenade, so daily groceries are within reach. The proximity of Al Maktoum International Airport means that residents can travel quickly, but also that the area will grow as the airport expands. The developments around Expo City provide additional facilities and employment nearby. In short, the location combines accessibility with a serene living environment.

Paying in instalments at South Square

South Square has a payment plan of 80/20. This means that 80% of the total purchase price is paid in instalments during the construction phase, and the remaining 20% at handover in Q4 2028. The initial deposit is 5% of the purchase price. This distributed payment scheme allows buyers to spread the payment over the construction period, providing financial flexibility. The exact deadlines and percentages per phase are laid down in the purchase agreement. Buyers can count on a transparent structure without hidden costs. The plan is designed to lower the entry threshold while providing the developer with working capital. For investors, this means that they do not have to finance the full amount at once, but can benefit from a phased payment.

When purchasing a property in South Square, the buyer is accompanied by a registered real estate agent with a RERA licence registered with the Dubai Land Department. This real estate agent takes care of the entire journey, from the reservation of the unit to the transfer at handover. The buyer does not have to contact the developer himself; all communication is via the real estate agent. This provides extra security and convenience, as the real estate agent is aware of the procedures and legal requirements in Dubai. The real estate agent is also ready to support any questions about the payment plan or changes in the planning. Buy Dubai Off-Plan helps you compare off-plan projects and connects you with a registered real estate agent who speaks your language. Thus the purchasing process is smooth and transparent.

Request finance guidance for South Square
How does a mortgage work for off-plan property in Dubai?

You use your own funds during construction. You pay the payment plan instalments from your own funds. A mortgage is usually arranged only at handover, for the amount still outstanding at that point. Some banks provide finance earlier, but the UAE Central Bank sets a 50% maximum for off-plan property.

Situation (UAE resident)Maximum mortgage
First home up to AED 5m80%
First home above AED 5m70%
Second home or investment60%
Off-plan, before handover50%

Non-resident? These maximums do not automatically apply. Banks use their own, usually stricter, rules for foreign buyers. If you live abroad, expect to contribute more of your own funds.

Income matters. In principle, your total monthly debt repayments may not exceed 50% of your gross monthly income, and the mortgage may not exceed 7 times your annual income. The maximum term is 25 years.

Borrow more after handover? If the property is worth more than your purchase price at handover, a bank may sometimes provide additional finance based on the valuation through equity release. This requires a separate discussion with an adviser.

An estimate, not advice or an offer. Statutory maximums are no guarantee. Income, debts, age, employer and credit profile determine what a bank will actually lend.
