Dubai South developers anticipate a surge in population over the next “two to three years” as the emirate’s new airport terminal takes shape, a top official has said. Currently home to around 25,000 residents, the residential district of the master development will house over one million people expected to move to the area once the airport opens.
The Dh128-billion passenger terminal at Dubai World Central – Al Maktoum International (DWC) will “fully absorb” the current Dubai airport’s operation over the next decade. Dubai is building an aerotropolis — an airport city — to cater to this demand. As reported by Khaleej Times, Dubai South is already among the top five areas in demand for new developments across the emirate.
