Hayat by Dubai South Properties in Dubai

Hayat is a gated, wellness-inspired townhouse community by Dubai South Properties located in the Golf District of Dubai South. Spanning 10 million sq.ft across multiple phases, the master plan will deliver approximately 2,500 residences including 3- to 5-bedroom townhouses, semi-detached and detached villas, apartments, and hotel apartments. The first two phases sold out within hours of launch, generating over AED 1 billion in sales.

Hayat offers 3-bedroom townhouses from 3,217 to 3,384 sq.ft, 4-bedroom townhouses from 3,801 to 4,132 sq.ft, 5-bedroom G+1 townhouses from 4,500 to 4,953 sq.ft, and 5-bedroom G+2 semi-detached units from approximately 5,100 sq.ft.

Prices start from AED 3.4 million for 3-bedroom townhouses, AED 3.9 million for 4-bedroom units, AED 5 million for 5-bedroom G+1 townhouses, and AED 5.5 million for 5-bedroom G+2 semi-detached homes. All units exceed AED 2 million, qualifying buyers for the UAE 10-year Golden Visa.

Hayat offers a 60/40 payment plan: 5% on booking, 55% across quarterly construction instalments, 20% on handover in Q2 2028, and 20% post-handover within 12 months of completion. This structure gives buyers a two-year post-handover window to manage the final payments, making Hayat accessible for both end-users and investors.

Handover is scheduled for Q2 2028, with some earlier phases beginning delivery from Q2 2027. Dubai South Properties is a government-backed developer entrusted with delivering the residential heartbeat of the broader Dubai South masterplan, which spans over 145 sq.km and is a priority zone under the Dubai Urban Master Plan 2040.

Each residential cluster has its own shared resort-style pool and landscaped garden. Across the wider community, residents have access to state-of-the-art fitness centres, outdoor fitness stations, wellness and relaxation pavilions, children’s play zones, shaded walking and cycling trails, landscaped parks, a community shopping boulevard with cafes and retail, 24-hour gated security with CCTV and smart access, and on-demand concierge services.

Each Hayat townhouse is built in a contemporary minimalist style using natural stone, wood, and panoramic glazing. Interiors follow an open-plan layout with a combined kitchen, living, and dining area that connects directly to the private garden. Natural light is prioritised through large windows. Finishes use soft organic palettes with high-quality kitchen and bathroom fittings. All units include a private garden, and each cluster shares a pool and landscaped communal garden.

Dubai South Properties is a government-backed developer and the master developer of Dubai South (Dubai World Central), a 145+ sq.km planned city directly linked to Al Maktoum International Airport, Expo City Dubai, and the Jebel Ali Free Zone. The developer’s backing by the Dubai government provides strong assurance of delivery and community infrastructure. The first two Hayat phases sold out within hours, and the broader Dubai South area has recorded approximately 14% year-on-year property value increases, with rental yields averaging 6 to 8% annually in the townhouse segment.

Hayat offers a strong investment profile driven by its location within one of Dubai’s fastest-growing development corridors, proximity to Al Maktoum International Airport (set to become the world’s largest), and a flexible payment plan with 20% post-handover spread over 12 months. The Dubai South townhouse market has shown stable rental yields of 6 to 8% annually, supported by growing demand from professionals and families employed at JAFZA, Dubai South Free Zone, and Expo City. Price appreciation of 14% year-on-year has been recorded in the area, with further growth projected as infrastructure matures.

GEMS International School and South View School are among the international schools serving the Dubai South area. GEMS United School and other established institutions are within a short drive.

Dubai Parks and Resorts, Motiongate, Legoland, and Riverland are within 15 minutes for family leisure. The Outlet Village is also nearby.

Hayat sits alongside Dubai South’s earlier successful communities including South Bay Villas, Pulse Residences, and Emaar South as one of the most prominent address in the Golf District corridor. Hayat is distinguished by its wellness-first master plan, the scale of its green space allocation, and its multi-phase structure that delivers approximately 2,500 homes across a 10 million sq.ft estate. The 5% booking deposit and 20% post-handover payment structure also make it one of the most accessible entry points for investors in the Dubai villa and townhouse segment.
