Dubai South Residential District

Dubai South Residential District forms part of the larger Dubai South development.

The district is primarily residential, while the wider Dubai South zone includes economic, logistics and aviation precincts. Original planning material sets out an intended arrangement of residential blocks and open spaces across the district. Building details, landscaping and amenity provisions can evolve as individual developments progress through construction. Waada – Altura 1 is one of the residential projects within this planned district setting near Al Maktoum International Airport.
