| What exists today | A large number of apartment buildings are complete and lived in, among them Skycourts Towers, Solitaire Cascades, Desert Sun Tower, Windsor Residence, Phoenix Tower, The Gate Residence and the Sondos buildings. Many more are under construction across the district. Last verified 10 September 2026 | The community is home to a large resident population and most of it is built: hundreds of mid-rise buildings, the townhouse clusters, Circle Mall (open since 2021), pocket parks and a supermarket in most blocks. Last verified 29 August 2026 | In Emaar South, the first townhouse and villa rows are handed over and lived in, the 18-hole course and clubhouse are open, and there is a small community centre with a supermarket. That is the extent of the finished residential community. Last verified 1 September 2026 |

| The OAC18 view | One of the few cheap districts in Dubai that is already built. Judge it building by building. | Buy JVC for realised yield, building by building. Never buy it on the district average. | Dubai South is a long-dated bet on an airport. Size the position accordingly. |
