Westar Altair: Off-Plan Apartments in Dubai South from AED 1.03M
Westar Properties launched Westar Altair in early 2025 within the Residential District of Dubai South, also known as Dubai World Central. The project delivers apartments in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts. Construction broke ground in March 2025, with Westar targeting a May 2027 handover.
A District Built Around the Airport
Dubai South is a master-planned district adjacent to Al Maktoum International Airport. Expo City also sits within the district, adding retail, hospitality, and event space to what has historically been a development area tied to the airport. The Residential District, where Westar Altair is located, provides the housing component of that broader plan.
Commutes toward Downtown Dubai or Dubai Marina run roughly 30 to 40 minutes via Emirates Road, depending on traffic and time of day. Buyers in this district typically accept a longer drive to central areas in return for lower entry prices than comparable stock in inner-city neighbourhoods.
What AED 1.03M to AED 1.39M Gets You
The price range spans AED 1,034,400 to AED 1,390,800, a spread of roughly AED 356,000 from floor to ceiling. The difference tracks unit type rather than variation in finish or specification.
At the floor of AED 1.03M, buyers enter at one-bedroom level. Multiple one-bedroom layouts carry that price, ranging from 611 to 862 square feet. The smaller end, at 611 to 628 square feet, suits buyers prioritising the lowest total outlay. The larger one-beds, at 755 to 862 square feet, deliver more practical living space without moving into two-bedroom pricing.
At AED 1.39M, two-bedroom units start. Sizes run from 1,065 to 1,260 square feet across several layouts, giving buyers at the upper end genuine floor plan choice. For Dubai South, this price band sits in mid-market territory.
Studio, One-Bedroom, and Two-Bedroom Options
Studios at 538 square feet suit single occupants and investors targeting the short-term or corporate rental market near the airport and Expo City. One-bedrooms cover young professionals and couples. Two-bedrooms serve small families or investors who want higher rental income from a single unit. All units are apartments; the project does not include villas or townhouses.

Five amenities is a functional, focused set. The indoor pool is the standout item: it operates year-round, unlike uncovered outdoor pools that become impractical during Dubai's summer months from June through September. Landscaped gardens add outdoor green space. On-site restaurants reduce daily reliance on driving out for meals, a practical benefit in a car-dependent district. The children's play area points to a resident profile that includes families rather than a purely investor-driven occupancy base.
Handover in May 2027
Construction started in March 2025. Expected completion is May 2027, approximately 23 months from today. The project is not at a concept stage; physical work is underway.
For an off-plan buyer entering now, that means roughly two years of construction exposure before the asset can be occupied or rented. The May 2027 target also marks when buyers using interim financing would transition to a standard mortgage term.
Getting In for 25%
The payment plan is straightforward: 25% on booking and 75% at handover in May 2027.
The structure is back-loaded. The majority of the purchase price falls due at completion rather than across the build period. For cash buyers, the two-year construction phase carries low financial obligation. Mortgage buyers need the full 75% confirmed and ready to draw at handover in mid-2027.
