About Location Dubai South in Dubai
Dubai South is rapidly emerging as a key investment hotspot, helped by its proximity to Al Maktoum International Airport and the Expo City district. Designed as a master-planned city for logistics and residential purposes, the area offers strong capital appreciation potential. With ongoing infrastructure development and attractive payment plans, properties in Dubai South—such as 1-bedroom apartments—can yield upwards of AED 55K (USD 15K) annually.
WAADA offers investors the opportunity to be part of a thriving new district in Dubai that will be shaped as a hub of business and logistics, a very short distance from the future world’s largest airport. Already, Dubai South presents strong capital appreciation and rental yields. The project’s ideal location, paired with WAADA’s status as a visionary development symbolising Dubai’s growth, make this an attractive long-term investment possibility.
The community will include all essential infrastructure to support a balanced and comfortable lifestyle — a hospital, an international school, a shopping mall, a business hub, sports courts, and children’s play areas. Among its signature landmarks are an 82-meter replica of the Eiffel Tower, the largest mosque in South Dubai, and a scenic observation deck. From sports facilities, shops, and restaurants to a theater and library — every detail has been thoughtfully considered.
Near to highly reputable early childhood centres such as British Oak Montessori and Tappy Toes Nursery, it’s easy to find a reliable and creative learning environment for young children. For families with older children, Ranches Primary School and GEMS Founders School Dubai South have earned excellent reputations for delivering top-tier education. All of these options are less than 15 minutes drive from WAADA already, and it’s expected that further infrastructure investment will bring more in the future.
From WAADA, world-class healthcare is easily available – you can find Saudi German Clinic, Mediclinic Me’aisem and Dubai London Clinic all within 20 minutes travel by car. With more investment expected, buyers can expect even more convenient, top-tier healthcare options appearing in the near future.
As of Q1 2025, Dubai South landlords can expect average annual rental income of approximately AED 55 K (USD 15 K) for 1-bedroom apartments, while 2-bedroom units typically yield around AED 85 K (USD 23 K). With ongoing infrastructure growth and demand driven by its proximity to Al Maktoum International Airport and Expo City, Dubai South is establishing itself as one of the city’s emerging high-potential rental markets.
Depending on the property you purchase at WAADA, it’s possible that investors qualify for a 3-Year Property Investor Visa (for investments starting at AED 750K) or the 10-year Golden Visa for investments starting at AED 2M, with extended benefits for their spouse, children, and household staff.
With the future world’s largest airport a stone’s throw away, and the Expo 2020 Legacy District nearby, WAADA is ideally positioned in a high-demand, low-supply area where massive investment in infrastructure and services awaits. Already one of the city’s great, high-potential markets for rental yields and capital appreciation, Dubai South offers investors a ripe opportunity to act quickly.
