Dubai South: The new address of happiness

Billed as the first city in the world centered around the happiness of its residents, Dubai South unveiled its first two key real estate projects - The Villages and The Pulse - at Cityscape Global.
One of the eight key districts of Dubai South, the Residential District is an innovative concept in urban living that aims to create a city that is based on the happiness and wellbeing of people. Reimagining urban spaces Dubai South's master-planned communities will be distinguished by their world-class design, superior build quality, and a wide range of lifestyle amenities.
Another unique aspect that makes Dubai South's Residential District noteworthy is the fact that it addresses key concerns of residents, while providing solutions to the various issues of everyday living, such as walkability, multiple entry and exit points to avoid bottle-neck traffic congestion and ample parking
"The concept behind the Residential District is rooted in the overarching societal themes of the Dubai Plan 2021 and we have aligned our strategy to converge with that of the vision of His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai," Khalifa Al Zaffin, Executive Chairman, Dubai Aviation City Corporation and Dubai South, said.
"At Dubai South we welcome you to the City of You, to be part of a reinvented urban ecosystem and experience, for the very first time, a city designed primarily on the happiness and wellbeing of its people, with the aim of providing solutions for everyday living. The time has come to Welcome Home Happiness," he added.
Dubai South, launched as a Government of Dubai project in 2006, is an emerging 145 square kilometres city situated within the emirate of Dubai that will ultimately sustain a population of one million. Dubai South's economic platform supports every conceivable kind of business and industry
With an impressive 87 million square feet of real estate being developed at the total estimated cost of Dh25 billion, the Residential District at Dubai South is the heart of an integrated dynamic city powering the emirate's economic growth and bringing to life the fundamental goal of the Dubai Vision 2021. In close proximity to the Al Maktoum International Airport, the largest airport in the world when complete, and the future gateway to the UAE, the location of the Residential District is unique as it also adjoins the Expo 2020 Dubai site, which is expected to welcome 25 million visitors.
Ahmed Al Ansari, acting CEO, Dubai South, said the Villages was the first residential project launched by Dubai South and is due for completion in 2018.
