Timber Terrace

Timber Terrace is a residential building by Vakson Development in Dubai South, offering 36 semi-furnished apartments across one low-rise structure, with one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts priced from AED 1,091,000 and scheduled for handover in Q3 2027.

# The Building and Its Position in Dubai South

Dubai South sits in the emirate's southwestern corridor, a district purpose-built around the Al Maktoum International Airport and the former Expo 2020 site, which has since transitioned into a mixed-use legacy precinct. The area has attracted steady residential investment over the past few years as infrastructure matures and the airport expansion progresses.

Within this context, Timber Terrace is a single building of 36 units. The project's relatively modest scale is, in practice, its defining characteristic: a small number of residences produces a more controlled ownership profile, which tends to matter to buyers thinking about long-term resale liquidity and building management quality. At a service charge of AED 12 per square foot, holding costs sit within a predictable range for the district.

Construction is underway with completion targeted for Q3 2027.

# Residences, Layouts and Finish

The configuration spans one-, two- and three-bedroom units. One-bedroom apartments run at approximately 905 to 928 square feet, with pricing between AED 1,087,000 and AED 1,119,000 across the various configurations. Two-bedroom units cover a broader range, from 1,157 to 1,416 square feet, with asking prices from AED 1,389,000 to AED 1,748,000. Three-bedroom residences reach 1,654 square feet, priced up to AED 2,140,000.

Semi-furnished specification means kitchens arrive equipped, reducing the immediate fit-out burden for buyers relocating or letting the property quickly after handover. The floor plate sizes across the two-bedroom range show meaningful variation, from 1,157 square feet to 1,416 square feet, suggesting that buyers looking at this bracket have genuine options depending on whether they prioritise price entry or room to move.

Three-bedroom units at 1,654 square feet represent the top of the range, offering a footprint that is competitive for a district where family-scale apartments are in consistent demand.

# Amenities Across the Building

The amenity package sits on the rooftop and includes an infinity swimming pool, a fully equipped gym, a pickleball court, a jogging track, and a roof seating area. Children are accommodated both indoors and outdoors, with dedicated play zones for each. A business centre rounds out the offer for residents who work from home or need occasional meeting space without commuting.

The lineup is functional rather than theatrical, calibrated to the likely resident profile: working professionals, young families, and buy-to-let owners catering to the district's growing pool of aviation, logistics and Expo-precinct employees.

# Location: Airport Proximity and Day-to-Day Infrastructure

Al Maktoum International Airport sits 18.4 kilometres from the building. For residents employed in aviation or logistics, or buyers attracted by the long-term argument around the airport's expansion, that proximity is the primary location thesis.

GEMS Founders School Dubai South is 0.9 kilometres away, a practical consideration for families with school-age children. Pulse Community Park, at 2.6 kilometres, provides accessible outdoor space within the district. Damac Mall at Damac Hills is 16.1 kilometres out, and Marina Beach 37.5 kilometres, so the immediate neighbourhood is still building its retail and leisure density, something buyers should factor into daily life expectations rather than treat as a drawback unique to this address.

# Who This Building Suits and Where It Sits in the Market

Timber Terrace makes the clearest case for two buyer types. The first is the long-hold investor, attracted by Dubai South's structural growth story and the airport expansion narrative, who wants a manageable ticket size, a small building with limited supply overhang, and a service charge that does not erode yield. At AED 1.1 million to AED 2.1 million, the pricing sits below the threshold that typically draws institutional competition.

The second is the end-user family or professional relocating to the southern corridor for work. The combination of a GEMS school within one kilometre, family amenities on the roof, and three-bedroom units above 1,600 square feet makes the building functional for households who do not need to be close to Downtown or the Marina to justify the address.

For buyers weighing Dubai South against more established districts, the honest trade-off is well-defined: lower per-square-foot pricing and genuine long-term upside, set against a neighbourhood that is still filling in around it.
