A planned apartment building in Dubai South
Lincoln Star Residence 4, an apartment building at the planning stage, is set for the residential district of Dubai South, the master development in the south of Dubai. Its developer is Lincoln Star Real Estate Development. The scheme is drawn around one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments with shared facilities for swimming, fitness and outdoor time.
The developer places the building in its French Collection.
The apartments
Two layouts make up the unit mix: one-bedroom apartments and two-bedroom apartments. The interiors are specified as open-plan, arranged so that daylight reaches the living space.
Bedrooms are specified with fitted storage and with integrated smart controls. Those controls are described as covering lighting, temperature and ambience, so each occupant can set a room to their own preference.
Amenities
The facilities specified at Lincoln Star Residence 4 fall into three groups.
Water. A main pool, a separate pool for children and a Jacuzzi.
Fitness and recovery. A fitness centre designed with natural light, alongside a recovery room and a meditation area. Hydration stations are named as part of the same wellness space, and a jogging track is listed among the outdoor facilities.
Social and family space. A play area for children, barbecue facilities, spaces set aside for social activities, and sports facilities.
All of these are specified for the project and are not yet built.

Dubai South
Dubai South began life under the name Dubai World Central. It is a planned city laid out around Al Maktoum International Airport, Dubai's second airport. Cargo flights have used the airport since 2010 and passenger flights since 2013. The whole development covers approximately 145 square kilometres, divided into eight integrated districts that include residential, commercial, logistics, aviation and exhibition zones. Property there is held on both freehold and leasehold terms, across residential, office, retail and commercial use.
In the original masterplan, a 715-hectare Residential City occupied the north-eastern part of Dubai South. Its apartment buildings were set at five to ten storeys, on plots from 2,200m² up to around 12,000m², and a light rail route was drawn along its central spine.
The first communities built there were The Villages and The Pulse. At The Pulse the masterplan sets out 236 townhouses, plus 152 apartments in The Pulse Boulevard Apartments and 60 in a block named The Pulse Residence. The Villages holds 254 townhouses plus two apartment blocks: The Villages Residences, with 217 apartments, and The Villages Apartments, with 209. By 2022 over 1,400 of the apartments and townhouses at The Pulse had been delivered, and the district's population was above 25,000. The Pulse has landscaped walkways, tracks for jogging and cycling, eight gyms and pools, and several parks.
Getting around
In May 2020 the Dubai Metro Red Line was extended from Nakheel Harbour & Tower station, running out to the site of Expo 2020. The Expo station ties Dubai South into the rest of the metro network.
