Where prices sit
Dubai South transacts at AED 1,050 per sqft in 2026. A standard one-bedroom of around 780 sqft therefore lands near AED 819,000 before fees, with view and floor premiums adding 10–25% at the top of the stack.
Reading the number
Per-sqft is only useful against yield. At 8–9%, Dubai South sits in a healthy band — the mistake buyers make is paying a prime per-sqft price on a unit with a mid-tier view.
