Dubai Silicon Oasis is a district of Dubai, 2 listings available with us.
Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO) is a technology park and mixed-use community positioned at the junction of Sheikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Al Ain Road (E66). Launched in the mid-2000s as a free zone and integrated economic zone, DSO combines office, industrial and residential areas around a central lake and a growing set of commercial and infrastructure projects.
DSO is operated as a technology-focused free zone that permits both business and residential use within the same district. It hosts offices, multi-use warehousing and manufacturing facilities alongside apartments, townhouses and villas. A man-made lake with a running track sits at the core of the development and acts as a local focal point for recreation. The community has expanded significantly since its inception; in 2022, the resident population exceeded 90,000.
Located at approximately 25.127521 N, 55.386379 E, DSO sits beside Academic City and stretches between two major highways, offering direct road access to many parts of Dubai and the wider emirate.
The nearest Dubai Metro station is on the Green Line, around 11.1 km from the district centre, so road travel remains the primary transport option for residents and businesses.
Typical approximate distances from DSO include:
Recent transport works have focused on internal circulation and external access. An extension connecting DSO’s internal roads to Dubai–Al Ain Road adds roughly 2.4 km of link roads and additional lanes. Upgrades within the free zone include wider approaches, service roads and pedestrian corridors.
DSO is undergoing further large-scale expansion through a government-led AED 13 billion investment programme centred on two principal initiatives: District IO and Block 14. District IO is a mixed-use cluster planned near the Blue Line metro station, with 18 commercial buildings, four residential buildings, a conference centre and an innovation and experience centre. Designed for technology-led companies in smart mobility, 3D printing, robotics, AI, quantum computing and Web3, it is projected to accommodate more than 6,500 companies and generate over 70,000 direct and indirect jobs over ten years. Its first phase is scheduled to begin in 2026, with completion planned for 2029 in line with the Blue Line metro timeline.
Infrastructure and community projects include internal road enhancements led by the Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ), expanded green spaces incorporating sustainable technologies, and new sports and community facilities.
Selected residential and mixed-use developments within DSO include:
Nearby residential projects include Al Falak Residence, Altia by YAS Developers, Al Sondos Oasis by Al Sondos Holding, Liwa Tower, Emerald Residence, Adamas Building, Al Hathboor DSO and Al Liwan Building 1. These apartment buildings and mid-rise residences form part of the immediate urban fabric around DSO.
The central lake and its running track are a defining feature of community life. Green areas and pedestrian corridors have been expanded as part of efforts to integrate smart and sustainable technologies into public spaces. A 100,000-square-foot tennis and racquet facility operated by Hubb Tennis has opened in DSO, with multiple tennis courts and padel surfaces.
A community mosque by Danube Properties is under construction in DSO as part of a corporate pledge and is scheduled for completion this year. The Al Aweer Sewage Treatment Plant is around 7 km north-east of the district; depending on prevailing winds, a mild sewage odour may occasionally be noticeable in some parts of the community during the morning.
DSO suits a mix of occupants:
The area functions as a combined live-work precinct, where office campuses, logistics units and residential buildings are intermingled. This benefits tenants seeking shorter commutes and businesses that value proximity to skilled labour and supporting services.
How close is Dubai Silicon Oasis to the main airport and Downtown Dubai?
DSO is approximately 14.1 km from Dubai International Airport (DXB) and around 13.3–13.7 km from The Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa / Downtown Dubai, depending on the measurement point.
Is there a metro station in DSO?
The nearest Green Line metro station is around 11.1 km from the district centre. Local travel is predominantly by road, supported by recent road-link projects and internal network upgrades.
What major projects are planned or underway?
Large-scale expansion projects include District IO and Block 14, backed by an AED 13 billion investment package. District IO will include commercial and residential buildings and will focus on technology and innovation sectors. Its first phase is scheduled to start in 2026, with completion planned for 2029.
What recreational and community facilities are available?
The central lake and running track are key recreational amenities. Recent additions include Hubb Tennis’s major tennis and racquet facility, while green spaces and pedestrian infrastructure are also being expanded. A community mosque by Danube is under construction and planned for completion this year.

The figures below come from registered Dubai Land Department transactions, not from listings. We show the median rather than the mean, so that one-off penthouses do not distort it.
The yearly figure compares the last 12 months with the 12 before them. Calendar years would not work here: the current one is unfinished, so the comparison would understate the change. The median across the whole district moved -11% over the same year — that gap reflects which buildings came to market, not existing homes changing in price.
From 2022 to 2025 — +43% on the price per square metre across 29 buildings that traded in both years.
For comparison: the median across the whole district moved +103%. The gap between the two figures is not existing homes appreciating — it is newer, more expensive buildings entering the market. Returns on a purchase follow the first figure.
Top to bottom: purchase price per m², year, annual rent per m², gross yield. Showing the last 13 years, from 2014.
* 2026 is still in progress, so its bar covers part of the year and is not directly comparable with the ones before it. The growth figure below uses completed years only.
All figures are medians rather than means: in thin years the mean swings with the mix of units and shows movement the market never had. The yield is gross — service charges are not published in the register, so they cannot be deducted honestly.
