Dubai South Properties is the developer behind South Bay, a gated community on the water in the Residential District of Dubai South, right beside Expo Road (E77). The project launched in 2022. It spans six phases and roughly 1,000 homes, a mix of townhouses, semi-detached villas, standalone villas and waterfront mansions, all laid out around a crystal lagoon 1 km long.
That lagoon anchors the plan, together with sandy beaches and a waterfront promenade running 3 km. Every home sits close to beach clubs, fitness centres, a lake park, a water sports club and facilities for families. Day-to-day shopping is handled by a community retail centre, and cycling and jogging tracks connect one neighbourhood to the next.
Layouts start with townhouses and semi-detached villas of 3 to 5 bedrooms and go up to waterfront mansions with 5, 6 or 7 bedrooms. Townhouses and villas are built G+2, meaning a ground floor plus two upper levels. Downstairs you get a generous living area, a fitted kitchen, laundry and storage space, and a guest room with its own bathroom. Bedrooms upstairs come with wardrobes and en-suite bathrooms. A good number of homes also have a garden, parking, a private pool and a rooftop terrace. The mansions go further, adding a powder room, an outdoor lounge and a pool set in the garden.
The last phase is South Bay 6, made up of townhouses with three or four bedrooms and villas with four or five. Earlier phases sold out fast, which means most homes on the market today are resales from existing owners.
