Dubai South maintained its position as Dubai’s top-performing property market in May, recording 1,357 sales transactions worth AED1.6 billion. According to fäm Properties, residential sales in the area have surged 36.4% since late February, driven by strong demand for off-plan developments and growing investor confidence.
The mixed-use project will feature around 1,800 residential units, 250 commercial and office units, and hospitality components, with Al Ramz expecting the acquisition to support long-term growth and strengthen returns through 2031.

Despite regional uncertainty, Dubai recorded AED 252 billion in Q1 transactions, while resident investors now account for more than half of investment activity by value, reinforcing the UAE’s position as a long-term destination for both capital and living rather than short-term speculation.
