Dubai South Property Prices to Rise 15–20% Amid $35B Airport Expansion

DUBAI SOUTH PROPERTY PRICES SET TO SOAR 15–20% AMID $35B AL MAKTOUM AIRPORT EXPANSION

Dubai South is rapidly emerging as a prime property hotspot, driven by the AED128 billion ($35B) expansion of Al Maktoum International Airport—poised to become the world’s largest. Since the announcement, property prices have jumped 25%, while rental rates have increased by 20% in 2025 alone. The area recorded AED16.1 billion in sales in 2024, with over AED15 billion already achieved in the first five months of 2025. Despite this growth, prices remain 60% lower than Downtown and Business Bay, offering significant room for appreciation.

Connectivity will receive a major boost with the upcoming Dubai Metro Blue Line and Etihad Rail, both set to link directly to Al Maktoum International Airport. Dubai South’s visionary masterplan aims to accommodate over 1 million residents with integrated housing and employment opportunities. This mirrors the transformative growth witnessed in Dubai Marina and Al Barsha following the launch of Terminal 3 in 2005. With aviation expected to contribute 30% to Dubai’s GDP by 2030, Dubai South offers a compelling mix of affordability, accessibility, and long-term investment potential. As infrastructure rapidly takes shape, the district is poised to become one of Dubai’s most dynamic growth corridors.
