Dubai South Launches 10 Million Sq Ft ‘Hayat’ Community

Dubai South Properties has announced the launch of Hayat, a thoughtfully designed residential project spanning 10 million square feet in its thriving Residential District. Positioned as a wellness-focused, family-friendly community, Hayat reflects a growing demand for high-quality living in suburban Dubai. It is one of the most ambitious developments to date by Dubai South, integrating lifestyle, convenience, and sustainability across a large-scale, green master plan.

Location That Combines Tranquility with Connectivity

Strategically located near Al Maktoum International Airport and Expo City Dubai, Hayat offers direct access to two major highways—Emirates Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road. This ensures smooth travel for residents commuting to central Dubai or surrounding emirates. While situated in a quieter suburban pocket, the project’s proximity to upcoming infrastructure and aviation expansion makes it an attractive long-term residential and investment destination.

Contemporary Townhomes with Smart Payment Options

Hayat will feature three- to five-bedroom townhomes, ranging in size from 3,200 sq ft to over 5,100 sq ft. Prices begin at approximately USD 925,000 (AED 3.4 million) and go up to USD 1.36 million (AED 5 million) depending on layout and location within the community. Buyers can take advantage of a flexible payment plan, beginning with a 5% booking fee, staged payments during the construction period, and a post-handover schedule extending until mid-2028—making ownership more accessible to end users and investors alike.

A Lifestyle Anchored in Wellness and Nature

The project places wellness at its core, offering lush green spaces, jogging tracks, swimming pools, fitness centers, private gardens, and children’s play areas. A central retail boulevard and planned community mall will provide daily conveniences and leisure opportunities, encouraging a walkable, self-sustaining lifestyle. Designed to foster a sense of balance and connection, Hayat promises a healthy and socially engaging environment for residents of all ages.

Strong Investment Potential and Visa Advantages

With forecasted rental yields between 6% and 8%, Hayat offers strong value for property investors, and total return on investment (ROI) could reach up to 10%. Moreover, investors who purchase property worth USD 545,000 (AED 2 million) or more will qualify for a three-year investor visa, while those investing USD 1.09 million (AED 4 million) or more may be eligible for the UAE’s 10-year Golden Visa, making the development even more appealing to international buyers.

A Milestone in Dubai South’s Residential Growth

Scheduled for handover in Q2 2028, Hayat is part of Dubai South’s broader strategy to offer integrated residential districts that support sustainable urban growth. As demand for suburban living with urban conveniences grows, Hayat reflects the city’s evolution toward smarter, greener, and more inclusive communities. The project further cements Dubai South’s reputation as a rising hub for forward-thinking real estate development.
