ABOUT DUBAI WORLD CENTRAL

Dubai World Central or DWC, a grand multiphase development is the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. It was renamed as Dubai South in 2015. Sprawling over an area of 145 sq. km., this innovative project was first launched in 2006 as a free zone and freehold development under the flagship of the Government. It aims to provide a sustainable community with all the facilities including community transportation and employment opportunities. Once completed, DWC will have eight different districts to signify residential, commercial, golfing, exhibition, logistics, aviation and other sectors.

Predicted as “The Centre of Tomorrow,” Dubai South is expected to attract thousands of residents, workers, investors and tourists with its multidimensional project. Properties in Dubai World Central raise the bar for the entire Emirate because they are located near Al Maktoum International Airport and are connected to key districts of Dubai.

NEIGHBOURHOOD

COMMUNITY OVERVIEW

Purposely referred to as “The City of You,” DWC is a well-planned community that provides amenities to maintain a luxurious lifestyle. Already home to 250,000 people, the area is developing at a fast pace to accommodate a population of around one million. The residential district is basically dominated by tall buildings with apartments available for both rent and sale. Offering world-class living facilities in a suburban community, the developers want to create a whole new city based on the wellbeing of its residents.

PROPERTIES IN DUBAI WORLD CENTRAL

Spanning over 184 hectares, the residential side of DWC is the largest district which is still under development. A large part of the project consists of large villas and apartment buildings, varying from 5 to 10-storey. The first two residential sub-communities are The Pulse and The Villages comprising a mix of townhouses and apartments. There are around 152 apartments in The Pulse Boulevard and another 60 in The Pulse Residence. Whereas, 209 apartments are built in The Villages Apartments and 217 are there in The Villages Residence. Moreover, the first phase of MAG 5 Residential Development has 1,118 apartment units in thirteen 7-storey buildings.

DWC Residential City is further divided into two wings for middle-income earners and blue-collar residents. The price trends may vary between the two based on the covered area and facilities. However, the quality of life remains the same. Rents start from AED 16k for studios and 1-bed units. Similarly, buying a studio apartment costs at least AED 350K while 1-bedroom apartments are priced at AED 550K. The value for some 2-bedroom flats for sale in Dubai South is AED 680k to AED 900M. One can also buy furnished apartments for as low as AED 500k while those looking for private units can buy villas in DWC.

Each residential unit, especially those in apartment complexes are brand new and furnished with high-quality fixtures and fittings. Almost all projects include covered car parking areas, separate swimming pools for kids and adults, temperature controlled Jacuzzi, fitness clubs or gyms, kids’ play area and guest lobbies.

TRANSPORTATION AND PARKING SPACES IN DUBAI WORLD CENTRAL

Travelling hours have a significant impact on the quality of life, especially for those who live in Dubai. With a rapidly developing infrastructure, it has become easier to access Dubai World Central via metro, public buses and a large network of arterial roads. Three arterial roads including Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road E311, E11 and The Emirates Road E611 provide quick access to the community.

Moreover, residents can enjoy the services of RTA bus route F - 55. The shuttle passes every hour from Ibn Battuta Metro Station with the final stop at Al Maktoum International Airport. Other buses that stop nearby include Bus – 8 and Bus – F46 while the metro line that passes from the airport is M1.

Transportation in Dubai World Central is expected to improve further. A new station at the EXPO site will be launched soon. After 2020, the line will extend into three more stations on the way to Al Maktoum International Airport where the metro buses routes terminate. Furthermore, the Government plans to introduce a new, environment-friendly public transportation, especially for Dubai South residents. The bus will carry at least 50 passengers at a time.

Likewise, parking spaces in Dubai World Central are well-managed. The residential communities have dedicated areas for residents with plenty of space for their guests as well. Also, those who live in private villas park their cars in separate garages or basement.

A community mosque is near the residential district so the citizens can easily attend the call to prayers. Another mosque near Dubai World Central is Al Maktoum Airport Mosque where the travellers offer prayers in a peaceful environment.
