Dubai South has said that it will begin selling studio apartment units at The Pulse area of its masterplanned community with prices starting from Dh280,000, with sales set to start by the end of the month.
The Pulse is one of two residential communities that Dubai South announced at this year’s Cityscape Global event, with The Villages being the other.
Units at the Pulse are being built around a 70-metre-wide, six-lane boulevard.
The homes will be within a gated community with a retail centre, sports centre, schools, mosque, mall and hotels all nearby. The first units are due to be completed by 2019.
Units due to be sold will include apartments ranging from studios to three bedrooms, as well as two-bedroom and three-bedroom townhouses.
The executive chairman of Dubai South and Dubai Aviation City Corporation, Khalifa Al Zaffin, said that “deep thought, research and study has gone into designing the perfect residential community that is world-class in its offering”.
Dubai South is the master planned ‘aerotropolis’ being built on a 145-square-kilometre site on Dubai’s southern border. It contains the Al Maktoum International Airport, the Expo 2020 site and a major logistics district. The project was known as Dubai World Central until a rebrand was completed last year.

Day 3, Abu Dhabi Test: At a glance
Moment of the day Just three balls remained in an exhausting day for Sri Lanka’s bowlers when they were afforded some belated cheer. Nuwan Pradeep, unrewarded in 15 overs to that point, let slip a seemingly innocuous delivery down the legside. Babar Azam feathered it behind, and Niroshan Dickwella dived to make a fine catch.
Stat of the day - 2.56 Shan Masood and Sami Aslam are the 16th opening partnership Pakistan have had in Tests in the past five years. That turnover at the top of the order – a new pair every 2.56 Test matches on average – is by far the fastest rate among the leading Test sides. Masood and Aslam put on 114 in their first alliance in Abu Dhabi.
The verdict Even by the normal standards of Test cricket in the UAE, this has been slow going. Pakistan’s run-rate of 2.38 per over is the lowest they have managed in a Test match in this country. With just 14 wickets having fallen in three days so far, it is difficult to see 26 dropping to bring about a result over the next two.
