South Square is the newest flagship residential landmark introduced by Dubai South Properties, the master developer of the 145-square-kilometer “city within a city.” Strategically positioned in the heart of the Residential District, South Square is a multi-building complex crafted with a focus on holistic wellness, tranquility, and modern urban connectivity. Spanning a thoughtfully planned masterplan, the development showcases upscale 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments that blend organic materials, earth-toned exteriors, and minimalist interiors to create a sanctuary of calm in a fast-moving world.
Every particular residence is flooded with abundant natural light through large panoramic windows and showcases private balconies that overlook scenic water ponds and lush green landscapes. As a cornerstone of the Dubai World Central (DWC) growth corridor, South Square provides a lifestyle ecosystem enriched by walkable forest pods, co-working spaces, and a first-of-its-kind healthy fine-dining hub. Located just minutes from the Al Maktoum International Airport, slated to be the world’s largest, this particular project is an ideal choice for professionals, families, and investors looking for long-term capital appreciation and high rental yields.

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 We do not publish a price per square foot for this project because advertised size ranges are not a reliable basis for that calculation.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 |
