Beachfront Gates by Dubai South: Apartments in Dubai World Central, from AED 1.42M
Dubai South developed this residential project within its own master-planned community at Dubai World Central. The developer is also the landowner and master planner of the broader district, which gives this project a different character from a private developer building within an established neighbourhood.
Getting In for 10%
A 10% down payment secures your unit. That entry point is below the typical off-plan threshold in Dubai, and it is the most buyer-friendly feature of this project's structure. The balance splits into 50% during construction and 40% at handover.
| Stage | Amount |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 50% |
| At handover | 40% |
The 40% due at handover is the single largest instalment in the schedule. The construction-phase payments spread the cost over roughly 21 months, which eases the early capital burden. Buyers using a mortgage need financing arranged before the December 2026 handover date.
What AED 1.42M to AED 2.48M Gets You
Prices run from AED 1,422,499 to AED 2,477,406. The spread reflects the unit mix rather than premium positioning within the building.
One-bedroom apartments start at AED 1.42M. Two-bedrooms open at approximately AED 1.52M. Three-bedrooms reach AED 2.48M. The wide range within each bedroom type comes from significant size variation. First-floor and seventh-floor units often run considerably larger than typical-floor units in the same bedroom count, so the same bedroom category covers a meaningful footprint gap.
A buyer at the low end gets a one-bedroom in a planned district at a price that is competitive with suburban Dubai alternatives. A buyer at the high end gets a large three-bedroom, up to 3,217 sq ft, at a per-square-foot cost that would be difficult to match in a central location.
Apartments from 832 to 3,217 Sq Ft
The building offers 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom apartments. Sizes vary more than usual within each type:
- 1BR: 832 to 1,220 sq ft
- 2BR: 1,215 to 2,215 sq ft
- 3BR: 1,943 to 3,217 sq ft
The data shows distinct unit types for first floor, typical floors (2–6), and seventh floor. First-level and seventh-level units tend to run larger than their typical-floor counterparts within the same bedroom count.
Dubai World Central: What the Location Means
Dubai South sits in the southwest of Dubai, adjacent to Al Maktoum International Airport. It is a master-planned district rather than an established urban neighbourhood, and that distinction matters for daily life.
This is not a central location. Business Bay and Downtown Dubai are roughly 35 to 45 minutes away by car in normal traffic. Dubai Marina is 25 to 35 minutes. Residents commuting to those areas will spend meaningful time on the road each day.
The trade-off is space and price. Units here cost less per square foot than comparable apartments in central Dubai, and the size options run larger. The area is also less dense, which suits buyers who prioritise a quieter living environment over proximity to established retail and hospitality clusters.
What Residents Get Day to Day
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Wellness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
An indoor pool is less common than an outdoor pool in Dubai residential projects. Dubai's summer heat limits outdoor pool use to a few months of the year, so the indoor option has practical year-round value. The on-site restaurants mean residents have a dining option within the building, which is useful in a district where most food and beverage destinations require driving.
Handover by December 2026
Construction started in March 2025. The scheduled handover is December 2026, giving the project a total build window of roughly 21 months.
For a buyer entering now, completion is approximately 17 months out. The construction-phase instalment schedule runs through that period. The project is at an active construction stage with a defined handover target and a payment timeline that is fully laid out.
