Avenew 888 is a flagship residential development by Avenew Properties, strategically positioned in the rapidly expanding Dubai South (Dubai World Central). This particular innovative development is designed as a co-living inspired sanctuary, comprising five distinct mid-rise buildings (including the debut phase, Modo), each rising 11 floors. The project is celebrated for its modular architecture, clean geometric lines, plus a “wellness-first” design philosophy that combines residential living with expansive green social spaces.
The development caters to a new generation of homeowners and investors, providing a versatile mix of 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments alongside a limited collection of expansive 2 and 3-bedroom duplexes. Each particular residence showcases floor-to-ceiling windows to maximize natural light and provides panoramic views of the emerging Dubai South skyline. With construction having commenced in late 2025, the community is on track for an estimated completion in March 2028.

Source: Dubai Land Department open data. Registered sales of residential units between 30 June 2026 and 18 August 2026. Mortgages and gift transfers are excluded because they are not arms length sales. Sizes are converted from square metres at 10.7639 sq ft per sq m. The entry price shown for this project is our advertised starting price and is not a registered transaction. Community figures are medians across every project in the community, not this project alone. We do not publish a price per square foot for this project because advertised size ranges are not a reliable basis for that calculation.
What actually transacted in Dubai South
Before you judge a launch price, look at what the community around it registered. Over the last twelve months Dubai South recorded 5,845 registered rental contracts, all filed with the Dubai Land Department. These are signed contracts, not asking prices.
Registered rents in Dubai South moved +7.9 against the twelve months before.
The shorter window disagrees. On the most recent three months of contracts the same community reads +0.0%. Summer seasonality and smaller samples both sit inside that number, but we publish it rather than quote only the figure that flatters the market.
| Unit type | Contracts registered | Average annual rent (AED) | Rent per sqft (AED) | Change vs 12 months earlier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 1,376 | 40,196 | 95 | +9.2 |
| 1 bedroom | 2,408 | 50,388 | 82 | +6.6 |
| 2 bedroom | 1,768 | 78,796 | 66 | +11.0 |
| 3 bedroom | 293 | 102,421 | 50 | +6.4 |
| All apartments | 5,845 | 59,190 | 78 | +7.9 |
