Zoya Developments has broken ground on Calisi, its AED80 million residential project in Dubai South, marking the start of construction just 30 days after the project's official launch.
The milestone reflects the developer's strategy of accelerating project delivery while expanding its footprint in Dubai South, an area witnessing sustained residential growth driven by infrastructure investment, the expansion of Al Maktoum International Airport, and the continued development of Expo City Dubai.
Calisi will comprise fully furnished two-bedroom apartments, with prices starting from AED686,000, and is scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2027.
Located approximately 10 minutes from Al Maktoum International Airport and 15 minutes from Expo City Dubai, the project offers access to major road networks and key employment and business districts across southern Dubai.
Residents will have access to amenities including a swimming pool, fitness centre, indoor parking and 24-hour security, as Zoya continues to focus on delivering mid-market residential communities in emerging locations.
Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, Shoaib Khan, Chief Executive Officer of Zoya Developments, said the project responds to growing demand for fully furnished homes in Dubai South while reinforcing the company's commitment to timely project execution.
He added that maintaining construction schedules and delivering projects as promised remain central to strengthening investor confidence and supporting the company's long-term growth strategy.
Calisi is the developer's second residential project in Dubai South, following the launch of Miorah, and forms part of its broader expansion into Dubai's emerging growth corridors.
Dubai South has become one of the emirate's fastest-growing residential markets in recent years, supported by major infrastructure projects, logistics and aviation investments, and long-term government plans centred around Al Maktoum International Airport. The district continues to attract both investors and end-users seeking relatively affordable housing options with strong future growth potential.
The commencement of construction shortly after launch also reflects a broader trend among Dubai developers to accelerate project execution as competition intensifies and buyers place greater emphasis on delivery certainty alongside location and pricing.
