James SahotaHOST
And I remember meeting him for a coffee.
James SahotaHOST
We met for a coffee in Dubai South.
James SahotaHOST
He was concentrating, I think, on Pulse at that time.
James SahotaHOST
He's
Calum WhiteGUEST
still in Dubai South as well.
Calum WhiteGUEST
We met there
James SahotaHOST
and he was new.
Calum WhiteGUEST
And then what he does is, because he realizes the standard of agent in the market is so low, he says, yeah, come along on a viewing.

At the same time, Dubai Retail has announced Skylight Mall, a one point three million square foot center containing more than three hundred and sixty stores, expected to open in twenty twenty-seven.
speaker_0HOST
It joins additional retail projects in Dubai South and other expanding residential corridors.
speaker_0HOST
Population growth can support this space, but existing secondary retail may face greater competition as new malls open.
speaker_0HOST
So what does all of this mean for investors? First, completed property w- with verifiable rent, established infrastructure, and genuine end-user appeal deserves greater attention.
John IossifidisGUEST
So, uh, we're looking at the mu- new, new, sorry, the new communities, and really a 20-minute commute to a clinic and to the hospital should be the, the ... proposition.
Brandy ScottHOST
Does that mean that you are in talks with developers who are looking at, at new developments in that Dubai South area? At what stage do you get in?
John IossifidisGUEST
Uh, we're in constant lookout for, for additional properties.
John IossifidisGUEST
I can't tell you the other ones that we're actually discussing at the moment.
John IossifidisGUEST
You know, we're looking at two hospitals, four to four-plus clinics to feed those two hospitals.
Brandy ScottHOST
And is that...
Brandy ScottHOST
I mean, I guess I'm asking, is it gonna be an operation that, that sees its, its home in, in, in Dubai South, um, and stays quite niche? Is it something that you see going across Dubai and potentially across the UAE?
John IossifidisGUEST
Too early to tell.
Tim ElliottHOST
Mm.
Zacky SajjadGUEST
Places like Dubai South, you know? Um, you know, even Dubai Hills where there's still so much, uh, uh, you know, that's, that's left to develop.
Zacky SajjadGUEST
You've got, um, you know, places like the Valley, you know, um, by Emaar.
Zacky SajjadGUEST
You know, it's, it's a huge master community.
Tim ElliottHOST
Hmm.
AJ MenonGUEST
So, you know, somebody related to logistics and aviation, they are definitely going to be somewhere closer to, to, uh, the Dubai South area.
AJ MenonGUEST
Uh, somebody's already working in the financial segment, they are already in the DIFC in and around that area.
AJ MenonGUEST
So you have multiple areas, multiple job centers or employment avenues.
speaker_0HOST
Reportedly, only a small minority of off-plan projects have sold below their original launch prices.
speaker_0HOST
At the same time, studio sales have increased, particularly in Dubai South, as buyers move towards lower entry prices.
speaker_0HOST
This does not mean smaller units are automatically safer investments.
speaker_0HOST
Studios and one bed apartments are also the largest component of Dubai's future supply.
Carl AllsoppHOST
That's the, the Valley.
Carl AllsoppHOST
But our best performing areas at the moment are Dubai South, um-
Lewis AllsoppHOST
Emerging areas
Carl AllsoppHOST
... all the emerging at Damac Lagoons.
Morgan CurtinGUEST
Because if you're a financial company, you want to be in the financial center, being realistic, okay? So if you want to be the biggest company in the biggest area, you want to be in DIFC.
Morgan CurtinGUEST
Putting them in Expo City or putting them in Dubai South won't exactly work for them.
Morgan CurtinGUEST
However, like, we're dealing with a massive golf company at the moment that are looking for a large space, maybe two full floors.
Morgan CurtinGUEST
We don't have two full floors available in these, in these key areas, JLT, Business Bay, Downtown, DIFC.
Morgan CurtinGUEST
So we're trying to push them on Expo City, for example, or Dubai South or these kind of areas, and they're pretty open to it.
Morgan CurtinGUEST
However, if you're a predominant financial company, you don't want your company outside there.
Morgan CurtinGUEST
It, it's just, that's just the way it is.
Katie ChambersHOST
Now, we know that most Expo sites fall quiet once the crowds leave, but this one hasn't.
Katie ChambersHOST
Uh, Dubai South was mostly desert and ambition at that time.
Katie ChambersHOST
Now, it's a bustling hub of hotels, schools, businesses, and home to thousands.
Katie ChambersHOST
Plus, the UAE's next moon rover has just been fitted with a radar that can see 100 meters beneath the lunar surface.

Ahmed Al KhateebSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The vision and direction of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid was very clear: to host an exceptional event and to create a meaningful legacy.
Ahmed Al KhateebSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So when we were, uh, designing Expo, we were already asking, "What happens to this building after Expo? Who will use it? How does this road will work when it becomes a city? How do we make sure whatever we are building today will still have value 10, 20, 30 years, uh, from the date of, uh, the planning?" That thinking influenced everything we were doing.
Katie ChambersHOST
And if you've been to Expo City, you will know that it sits inside a much bigger Dubai South master plan.
Katie ChambersHOST
Um, how much of what's happened in that wide area, you know, there are 4,200 businesses based there, but can it be traced back to Expo itself? Ahmed explains.
Pratik KachrooGUEST
We have a new project on the cards as well, which should go live hopefully soon.
Pratik KachrooGUEST
And amidst this, we've signed a mega project, which is our biggest project in Dubai South, which is aligned with Dubai's vision of the future.
Pratik KachrooGUEST
So it's near Maktoum Airport, which is going to be our biggest project.
Pratik KachrooGUEST
So I think we're completely confident in the market and we have complete faith in Dubai as a global destination.
