Emaar South has townhouses and villas on different plot sizes, so the options vary. Popular changes are open kitchens, an extra room, a pool, garden shade and a facade refresh.
I Just Bought a Villa in Emaar South: What Can I Change?
A lot, with approval. Emaar South is an Emaar community near Expo City and Al Maktoum Airport, with townhouses and villas around a golf course. Owners add rooms, pools, pergolas and open kitchens. Each change needs the Emaar NOC first, then the DDA permit for structural works.
