Maak Residence

Three unit types span studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom formats across 72 units and six floors. Studios measure 38.74 sqm and are priced at AED 571,050 — AED 14,741 per sqm. One-bedroom units at 65.5 sqm start at AED 1,077,500, equating to AED 16,450 per sqm. Two-bedroom units at 114.55 sqm are priced from AED 1,651,900 at AED 14,421 per sqm — the sharpest per-sqm entry across the entire mix and the most attractive format for investors seeking larger Dubai South floor plates at a sub-AED 15,000 per sqm rate. The one-bedroom commands a per-sqm premium over both flanking types, consistent with sustained rental demand for one-bedroom stock in supply-led corridors like Dubai South. A 5% buyer-side fee applies to all units, compared to 7% charged across competing Azizi Venice phases — a cost difference of AED 14,275 on the studio entry, rising to AED 21,550 on the one-bedroom. That acquisition cost saving is meaningful at this price point. No public payment plan structure has been confirmed for this launch; buyers must obtain and verify the RERA-registered instalment schedule before entering any reservation agreement. With a limited 72-unit inventory, stock availability may narrow quickly if the project gains traction among budget-entry Dubai South investors. Buyers should assess whether the lower per-sqm rate compensates for the absence of developer track record when modelling resale margin at or before handover.

Dubai South is built around two long-horizon government infrastructure anchors: Al Maktoum International Airport, designated as a future mega-hub with an expansion programme that would position it among the world's highest-capacity aviation facilities, and Expo City Dubai, the legacy conversion of the 2020 World Expo site into a permanently operating mixed-use business, residential, and events destination. Both anchors underpin long-term population and commercial growth projections for the subdistrict, but neither generates significant immediate rental yield for newly completed residential units at this stage of buildout. The district currently hosts 38 live off-plan projects from 15 active developers, with a supply range from AED 560,000 at the entry floor to well above AED 50,000 per sqm for branded luxury product. Maak Residence's AED 14,421–16,450 per sqm range occupies the affordable mid-segment, sitting materially below the bulk of Azizi Venice studio pricing and broadly aligned with a value-entry investor profile rather than a short-term yield strategy. Construction progress at Maak Residence stood at 0% as of early 2026, leaving a 16-month build window to the Q2 2027 handover. That timeline is structurally tight for a developer with no established local delivery history. For a project of six floors, it is not unrealistic — but there is no margin for schedule disruption. Buyers evaluating Dubai South residential exposure should understand that the area's full project landscape is considerably more diverse than the Azizi Venice brand alone suggests, with emerging developers occupying a growing share of the affordable supply tier across the subdistrict.

The strongest direct comparisons for Maak Residence are three active Azizi Venice phases targeting the same subdistrict and overlapping handover windows. Azizi Venice 12 targets Q3 2027 with 472 units currently available from a 1,428-unit total, 10% construction progress confirmed, and studios from AED 785,000 at AED 23,280 per sqm — 58% above Maak Residence's studio rate. Venice 12 carries 112 recorded DLD transactions, providing genuine secondary-market price discovery that Maak Residence currently lacks entirely. Azizi Venice 13 targets Q3 2027 with 717 available units, 27% construction progress, and studios from AED 710,000 at AED 20,056 per sqm — 36% above Maak Residence — backed by 26 recorded DLD transactions confirming active buyer demand in this phase. Azizi Venice 16 shares the Q2 2027 handover target with Maak Residence and offers studios from AED 755,000 at AED 22,228–25,559 per sqm, but lists no one-bedroom units, limiting yield-strategy comparability for investors targeting rental income. Azizi's 7% buyer-side fee adds AED 43,750–54,950 to acquisition cost on Venice 13 studio and one-bedroom entries compared to 5% at Maak Residence — a concrete cost advantage for the smaller developer. The commercial case for Maak Residence rests on the entry-price gap and lower acquisition friction; the case against rests on unproven developer execution and zero construction progress at a point when Venice 13 is already more than a quarter complete. Investors who prioritise delivery confidence over price optimisation should weight the Azizi Venice phases more heavily. Those with risk appetite for emerging-developer exposure at a material discount should review Dubai South buying considerations before proceeding.
