Walid Al-Zarouni:

• "Dubai South" has become the main driver of the new real estate growth cycle in the emirate.

• Major government projects are redirecting investments towards South Dubai.

• Current indicators reflect a long-term structural shift in the emirate's urban development landscape.

Dubai, UAE: W Capital, a real estate brokerage firm, confirmed that Dubai South continues to strengthen its position as the fastest-growing real estate area in the emirate, driven by the momentum of strategic government projects, most notably the expansion of Al Maktoum International Airport, along with the continued rise in demand for residential units and the accelerated pace of launching new projects, which enhances the area’s position as one of the most prominent centers of urban and investment growth in Dubai.

The company explained in a research report that Dubai South has gone beyond being a promising area to become one of the most important drivers of growth in the real estate market, benefiting from a long-term development vision based on developing the largest integrated urban system in the emirate, combining the aviation, logistics, business and housing sectors within an integrated economic environment.

The report indicated that the Dubai government’s announcement of the implementation of the new phase of the Al Maktoum International Airport development project with investments amounting to AED 128 billion constituted a major turning point in investor trends, as the airport is expected to become the largest in the world with a capacity of up to 260 million passengers annually upon completion, which will boost future demand for residential and commercial assets and increase the region’s attractiveness to local and international investments.

The report added that Dubai South has strong competitive advantages, including integrated residential communities, business areas, logistics centers, and a multimodal transport network linking air, land and sea transport, in addition to its strategic location near Jebel Ali Port, the free zone and Expo City Dubai, which qualifies it to accommodate a large part of the expected population and economic growth during the coming years.

Waleed Al Zarooni, Chairman of the Board of Directors of W Capital Real Estate Brokerage Company, said that what Dubai South is witnessing represents a structural transformation in the real estate investment map of the emirate, and not just a temporary growth wave, stressing that the region now possesses an integrated system of investment components that include advanced infrastructure, major government projects, and a stimulating economic environment, which supports its continued growth in the coming years.

He added that this shift was directly reflected in the market indicators, as Dubai South maintained its position as the top performing area in Dubai for the fourth consecutive month, after recording 2,869 real estate transactions worth AED 3.3 billion during June 2026. The number of transactions increased by 111%, and their value increased by 106% compared to the previous month. It also continued to be among the top five performing areas in the emirate for the eighth consecutive month, supported by strong activity in off-plan project sales.

Al Zarouni explained that these indicators confirm the region’s transition to a new phase of sustainable growth, driven by rising real demand for ownership and housing, along with developers continuing to launch new projects, reflecting growing investor confidence in the region’s future.

He pointed out that Dubai South attracted 653 new companies during the past year, bringing the total number of companies operating in it to more than 4,200, with a company retention rate of 90%, which reflects the strength of the business environment and the sustainability of economic activity. He noted that a number of new residential projects recorded full sales immediately upon their launch, indicating continued strong demand.

Al Zarouni stressed that the continued implementation of strategic projects and infrastructure would support the growth of real estate asset values in the region in the medium and long term, noting that the company’s internal estimates suggest that growth rates could exceed 50% with the completion of major projects.

He concluded by saying: “Dubai South is no longer just a new development destination, but has become one of the most prominent drivers of economic and real estate growth in Dubai. With continued infrastructure spending, expanding economic activities, and rising demand for housing and investment, we expect the area to capture an increasing share of real estate investments and transactions in the coming years.”
