Hayat Residences Phase 2: Townhouses at 5% Down in Dubai South
AED 3,400,000 gets you into a townhouse here, and the entry commitment is low. The down payment is 5%, which means a buyer puts in AED 170,000 to secure a unit. That is an unusually light upfront requirement for a townhouse at this scale.
Hayat Residences Phase 2 is developed by Dubai South, the master developer of the Dubai South district and the entity behind the Dubai World Central master plan. That direct relationship means the project is not dependent on a third party to deliver surrounding infrastructure. Dubai South controls what gets built around it.
Dubai South (Dubai World Central)
Dubai South sits around Al Maktoum International Airport, approximately 35 kilometres south of Downtown Dubai. Dubai Marina is roughly 30 minutes by car off-peak. Downtown Dubai is closer to 40 minutes.
The area is quiet and low-density. Local retail and dining options are still developing. Residents need a car. The drive to central Dubai is real, and the district does not yet have the walkable urban services of more established neighbourhoods. For buyers who want space and a lower-density environment over urban convenience, that trade-off is direct and clear.
The broader district name, Dubai World Central, reflects the airport's central role in the area's identity. For families seeking large townhouses outside central Dubai, the combination of space, scale, and a master-developer-controlled environment is the core appeal.
3, 4, and 5-Bedroom Townhouses
The project covers three bedroom configurations, all townhouses. The 3-bedroom layouts run between 3,217 and 3,384 square feet depending on the type. At AED 3,400,000, the smaller 3-bed works out to roughly AED 1,057 per square foot. These are large homes for the bedroom count.
The 4-bedroom units span approximately 3,801 to 4,132 square feet, suited to families with multiple children or those who need a dedicated home office as part of the layout. The 5-bedroom options reach up to 4,953 square feet across multiple layout variants. Each configuration comes in several layout types, giving buyers some choice in how internal space is arranged within the same bedroom count. At the larger end, these are proper family homes with space across floors rather than compact units with high bedroom counts built on small rooms.
What the Amenities Indicate
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Recreation | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| On-site Dining | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV |
The indoor pool stands out. A covered pool matters in a climate where outdoor swimming becomes impractical for several months of the year, and its inclusion signals the developer built for year-round resident use. The gymnasium and children's play area reinforce the family-oriented direction. On-site restaurants suggest residents are expected to spend significant time within the community, which is a practical consideration in a district where external dining options are still limited.
Timeline: May 2028 Handover
Construction started in January 2026. Expected completion is May 2028, a build timeline of approximately 28 months.
For buyers entering now, this is a mid-term off-plan commitment. The construction phase is early, meaning buyers carry the full duration of the build ahead of them. The 2028 handover gives time to arrange financing or plan occupancy before the larger payment tranches are called.
Getting In for 5%
| Milestone | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 5% |
| During construction | 55% |
| At handover | 20% |
| Post-handover | 20% |
The 5% down payment on AED 3,400,000 means AED 170,000 upfront. The construction-period payments total 55%, spread across approximately 28 months of building. The final 40% is split evenly between handover and post-handover tranches, translating to AED 680,000 at each milestone.
The 20% post-handover component means buyers do not settle the full balance at key collection. For investors planning to lease the property, the trailing payment can sit alongside early rental income rather than requiring full settlement at handover. For owner-occupiers, it extends the payment timeline without changing the total commitment.
