Enre Residence by Imtiaz Developments

Enre Residence is a compact residential building with 170 units registered with Dubai Land Department in February 2026. Construction started the same month and the scheduled completion date is August 2028. The unit mix is weighted toward 2-bedroom apartments, which make up more than half the inventory. Studios are the most limited at just 17 units, which typically means they absorb faster at launch.

Imtiaz Developments has been active across Dubai South and JVC. Their projects lean toward mid-size buildings with clean architecture and a full amenity set rather than stripped-back budget product. Enre Residence follows that pattern: the building is modest in scale but the amenity offering goes beyond what similar projects at this price point usually provide.

Location: Dubai South Residential District

Dubai South Residential District sits within the broader Dubai South masterplan, which was developed around Al Maktoum International Airport. The airport is roughly 5 minutes away. The location also puts residents 15 minutes from Expo City and about 25 to 30 minutes from Dubai Marina and Jebel Ali. Al Maktoum Highway and Emirates Road (E611) are the main connections out of the zone.

Within Dubai South itself, the residential district has its own retail, dining, schools, and parks. The community is quiet compared to Jumeirah Village or Business Bay, which appeals to residents who want access to Dubai without the density. The downside is that most major retail is still a drive away, though that is improving as the zone fills in.

For investors tracking the Al Maktoum Airport expansion, Dubai South is one of the more direct plays. The airport expansion is expected to significantly increase the working population living in and around this zone in the years after Enre Residence delivers.

Unit Types and Layouts

Enre Residence has three apartment types:

Studio: 17 units. Open-plan format, kitchen integrated into the living area, bathroom, and balcony on select units. Starting at AED 673,000. Suited for investors targeting short or long-term rental yield.

1-Bedroom: 65 units. Separate bedroom and living area, fitted kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and balcony access. Flexible sizing. The most liquid unit type at resale and rental in this market.

2-Bedroom: 87 units. Two bedrooms, bathrooms, open-plan living and dining, fitted kitchen, laundry. Some configurations include a second balcony. Suited for small families or couples wanting a home office setup.

All layouts use floor-to-ceiling windows, neutral interior palettes, and open-plan living areas. Kitchens come fitted with efficient layouts. The design avoids wasted corridor space, which tends to show up in smaller units. Bathrooms have contemporary fittings across all types.

Architecture and Building Design

The facade is minimalist with clean lines, natural material accents, and integrated greenery at podium level. The 10-floor height keeps the building proportionate to the surrounding residential district, which is predominantly low to mid-rise. Open courtyards are built into the layout for airflow and outdoor space without requiring residents to leave the building.

The rooftop is a functional communal area with an open-air cinema and terrace seating. That is a differentiating feature at this price point. Most buildings in the AED 673,000 to AED 1.5M range in Dubai South do not include rooftop programming.

Payment Plan

The 20/40/40 structure works as follows:

20% on booking

40% across construction-linked installments (phased through the build timeline)

40% on handover in Q1 2028

The 40% handover component is on the higher end compared to some competing projects in Dubai South. Buyers planning to finance the handover balance should speak to a mortgage broker early, as LTV ratios for off-plan handovers can vary. For cash buyers or investors planning to rent from day one, the 40% at keys is straightforward.

Investment Case

Studios starting at AED 673,000 and 1-bedrooms in the AED 900,000 to AED 1.1M range put Enre Residence squarely in the properties under AED 2 million bracket that has seen the most transaction activity in Dubai over the past 18 months. Dubai South rental yields have been running at 7 to 9% for 1-bedroom units near the airport, driven by aviation and logistics professionals who prefer to live close to their workplace.

The limited studio inventory (17 units) and strong 1-bedroom mix (65 units) are useful for investors. Smaller unit counts in specific configurations tend to maintain higher occupancy rates. The airport proximity remains the strongest demand driver; any ramp-up in Al Maktoum International operations will directly benefit this address.
