Dubai South Properties Unveils ‘South Bay Mall’, Its First Retail & Lifestyle Destination

Dubai South is stepping into a new chapter-and it’s not just about homes and infrastructure anymore. With the launch of South Bay Mall, Dubai South Properties is introducing its first-ever retail and lifestyle destination, purpose-built to serve the growing South Bay community and the wider Dubai South area.

Nestled in the heart of the Dubai South Residential District, South Bay Mall is more than a shopping centre; it’s being positioned as a vibrant social hub, combining retail, leisure, wellness, and community experiences in one integrated space.

A Curated Lifestyle Destination by the Lagoon

Spanning approximately 200,000 sq.ft. across the ground, first, and rooftop levels, South Bay Mall is thoughtfully designed to take full advantage of its setting within South Bay’s waterfront masterplan.

Residents and visitors can look forward to:

• Panoramic lagoon views from various vantage points

• Open-air walkways that encourage str

  olling, socialising, and outdoor dining

• A curated mix of retail, dining, and wellness concepts tailored to everyday needs and aspirational lifestyles

The mall aims to seamlessly blend convenience with experience-whether you’re grabbing essentials, meeting friends for coffee, or unwinding after a busy day.

Retail, Dining & Wellness Under One Roof

South Bay Mall is set to feature:

• 60 retail units

• Two anchor stores to drive footfall and convenience

• A premium food hall, offering a variety of cuisines and casual dining concepts

Complementing the core retail and F&B offerings are lifestyle-enhancing amenities, including:

• A clubhouse for community gatherings and social events

• A gym and spa for health and relaxation

• A clinic to support day-to-day wellness and healthcare needs

• Dedicated parking for over 400 vehicles, ensuring ease of access for residents and visitors

Every element is designed to support a smooth, integrated community experience, where daily life, leisure, and wellness meet.

Anchored in South Bay’s Flagship Waterfront Community

South Bay Mall is not an isolated development. It is a key component of South Bay, Dubai South’s flagship mixed-use waterfront project, which is rapidly shaping into one of the city’s most attractive community destinations.

South Bay includes:

• 800+ spacious villas and townhouses

• 200+ luxurious waterfront mansions

• A kilometer-long lagoon

• Over 3 km of waterfront promenade

• Lush parks, a lake park, and private beaches

Together, these elements bring to life a fully integrated, wellbeing-focused community, where residents enjoy both tranquility and connectivity-now enhanced by a dedicated retail and lifestyle hub.

A Vision for a Future-Ready City

Speaking on the launch, H.E. Khalifa Al Zaffin, Executive Chairman of Dubai Aviation City Corporation and Dubai South, highlighted the strategic importance of South Bay Mall within the broader Dubai South vision.

He noted that this inaugural retail and lifestyle venture reflects the ambition to create “vibrant, people-centric environments” that enhance quality of life and reinforce Dubai South’s appeal as a place to live, work, and thrive. The project also aligns with Dubai South’s long-term mandate to become a future-ready city capable of welcoming one million residents, especially as Al Maktoum International Airport progresses toward completion.

What’s Next for South Bay Mall?

Construction of South Bay Mall is scheduled to commence soon, marking the beginning of a new phase of community evolution in Dubai South. Further announcements on:

• Opening timelines

• Tenant mix

• Brand partnerships and concepts

will be shared in due course.

A New Chapter for Dubai South Living

With South Bay Mall, Dubai South Properties is not just adding another building to the skyline-it’s laying the foundation for a lively, connected, and convenient lifestyle hub that supports residents’ everyday needs while enriching their social and leisure experiences.

For South Bay residents and the broader Dubai South community, this is the beginning of a more complete, integrated way of living-where home, lifestyle, and community truly come together.
