Dubai South Properties has announced the launch of its new master development, South Bay - featuring more than 800 villas and townhouses and over 200 waterfront mansions - in the heart of The Residential District at Dubai South. 
 
The new project will also boast a 1-km-long crystal lagoon, more than 3 km of a waterfront promenade and multiple beaches for swimming, said a statement from Dubai South Properties. 
 
These townhouses and villas will be offer across a built-up area ranging from 2,900 to 4,800 sq ft in a mix of three-, four-, and five-bedroom units and semi-detached villas, whereas the mansions, which will all be on the waterfront, will feature five-, six-, and seven-bedroom standalone villas with a maximum built-up area of 13,000 sq ft. 
 
The project is located strategically on Expo Road and hosts several world-class amenities, such as a community shopping mall, a fitness complex, kids' clubs, swimming pools, a water sports club, waterfront cafés, a pet park and a lake park, it added.
 
"The launch of South Bay comes in light of our successful sell-out of all the residential projects we had launched over the past few years," said a company spokesman.
 
"With the Expo site now transforming into Expo City Dubai by October and based on the huge demand for premium properties in the area, this project will be an ideal option for those seeking quality living with world-class amenities at competitive prices."
 
"At Dubai South, we are always aligned with the government’s mission of making Dubai the best place to live, work and visit. South Bay’s sales will launch in September," he added. 
 
Other amenities coming up in The Residential District include a school, public parks, sports courts, retail units, a hypermarket (opening in October), a mosque, a petrol station, and a public bus route connecting The Residential District to the Expo Metro station.-TradeArabia News Service
