Summary:
Dubai South Properties has awarded an AED 2 billion construction contract to Mohammed Abdulmohsin Al Kharafi & Sons LLC to develop multiple phases of HAYAT, its 10 million sq. ft. luxury master-planned community in Dubai South.
Planned as an integrated residential destination, HAYAT will offer around 2,500 homes, including townhouses, semi-detached villas, standalone villas, mansions, apartments, and hotel apartments, with layouts ranging from one to five bedrooms.
The project is positioned around wellness-focused living, with planned amenities including parks, shaded walking trails, family play areas, fitness and wellness facilities, landscaped gardens, pools, lagoons, and a scenic lake, alongside a community mall and retail boulevard.
Construction is scheduled to begin in Q2 2026, with the first phases targeted for completion by 2028.
The contract award follows what Dubai South says has been strong demand since the project’s launch in 2025, reinforcing investor interest in large-scale residential communities around the airport expansion corridor and the wider Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan and D33 agenda.
