Аэропорт Аль-Мактум достиг ключевых этапов — и почему это поддерживает рынок недвижимости в Южном Дубае на этапе предварительных продаж.

The expansion of Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) — set to become the world’s largest — hit major milestones in June 2026: more than 17,000 concrete piles laid, over 45 million cubic metres excavated, and the second runway completed .

The scale

Around AED 13 billion of contracts are currently executing, with AED 55 billion-plus in strategic contracts due to be awarded in the coming months. The workforce is set to scale from 9,000 toward roughly 120,000 at peak. The end-state — five runways, two terminals, seven concourses and capacity for 260 million-plus passengers a year — has Phase 1 opening in 2032.

The off-plan thesis

Every off-plan community across Dubai’s southern corridor — Dubai South, Emaar South, Jebel Ali Village and Palm Jebel Ali — is underwritten by this airport. Infrastructure of this magnitude reshapes where a city lives and works, and it typically lifts nearby residential values over the long horizon. Visible construction progress strengthens that thesis: this is no longer a promise on a masterplan, it’s cranes in the ground.
