South Square by Dubai South Properties: Prices, Payment Plan & Investment Guide

Project Overview

South Square is a residential community launched by Dubai South Properties on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, minutes from Al Maktoum International Airport's new passenger terminal. Its first tower sold out within three hours of launch.

Developer

Dubai South Properties.

Location

Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, Dubai South — close to Al Maktoum International Airport's new passenger terminal.

Project Type

Multi-tower residential community with retail and co-working space.

Unit Types

Studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments (first tower, "S4").

Total Units

More than 550 units in the first tower alone; total community-wide unit count across future towers has not been officially published.

Starting Price

From AED 1.1 million, per Dubai South Newsroom — this was the launch price for the first tower and may not reflect pricing for subsequent towers or phases.

Current Price

Since the first tower sold out within three hours, current primary-market pricing (for later towers/phases, if launched) should be confirmed directly with Dubai South Properties.

Payment Plan

Not detailed with specific milestone percentages in the official release reviewed for this article; confirm directly with Dubai South Properties or an authorized broker.

Construction Status & Handover

Completion targeted for Q4 2028, per Dubai South Newsroom.

Amenities

Landscaped green space, walking trails, community health/wellness facilities, retail, and co-working space, per the official launch announcement.

Community & Nearby Landmarks

On Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, within minutes of Al Maktoum International Airport's new passenger terminal.

Airport Connectivity

Explicitly marketed as being "minutes" from Al Maktoum Airport's new passenger terminal — the closest airport-proximity claim of any current Dubai South Properties launch reviewed for this research.

Investment Potential

South Square's first tower selling out within three hours is one of the strongest demand signals among current Dubai South Properties launches, alongside South Living's full sell-out. Its AED 1.1 million starting price is also the lowest confirmed entry point among the projects covered in this research (HAYAT and South Living have no published starting price; South Bay's lowest developer-quoted figure is AED 2.7 million). That combination — lower entry price, fast sell-out, strong airport proximity — is a reasonable basis for interest, though it says nothing definitive about resale value at the Q4 2028 handover.

Rental Potential

No project-specific rental yield data was found in this research. General Dubai South-wide gross yield data (5–8% for apartments, per DLD as of April 2026) is the closest available reference point, not a South Square-specific projection.

Pros

• Lowest confirmed starting price (AED 1.1M) among researched Dubai South Properties launches
• Strongest airport-proximity positioning ("minutes" from the new passenger terminal)
• Fast sell-out of the first tower signals strong buyer demand

Cons

• First tower already sold out — new buyers depend on future tower releases or the resale market
• No published payment plan detail or full community masterplan/unit count
• Handover not until Q4 2028 — a multi-year hold before delivery

Who Should Buy?

Investors seeking the lowest available entry price into a current Dubai South Properties launch, with strong airport-adjacency, and comfortable with a 2028 delivery horizon.

Who Should Avoid?

Buyers who need a unit available for purchase today should confirm with Dubai South Properties whether a new tower/phase is currently open, since the first tower is sold out. Buyers needing a nearer-term handover should consider South Living (Q1 2027, resale only) or The Pulse Beachfront (phase 1 due end of 2026).

FAQ

Is South Square still available to buy? The first tower (S4) sold out within three hours of launch. Availability of subsequent towers should be confirmed directly with Dubai South Properties.

What is the starting price for South Square? AED 1.1 million, for the first tower at launch, per Dubai South Newsroom.

When will South Square be completed? Q4 2028, per the official launch announcement.

How close is South Square to the airport? The developer describes it as minutes from Al Maktoum International Airport's new passenger terminal.

Investment Takeaway

South Square combines the lowest confirmed entry price and the closest airport-proximity claim among the Dubai South Properties projects covered here, and its first tower's three-hour sell-out is a strong demand signal. With that tower gone, the practical next step is confirming whether a new phase is open, rather than assuming AED 1.1 million pricing still applies.
