Off-plan property in Expo City Dubai

Expo City Dubai is the district created from the Expo 2020 site, next to Dubai South and Al Maktoum International Airport. Its master developer, Expo City Dubai, is a government entity that kept the Expo's permanent buildings, parks and event venues and is adding homes and offices around them. Property Finder gives the site area as 4.38 sq km. The city is a free zone for businesses and has been designated the UAE's first Green Innovation District.

The master plan names five districts: Expo Downtown, Expo Business, Expo Hills, Expo Valley and Expo Fields. Residential projects sold by the master developer include Mangrove Residences and Sky Residences (apartments), Sidr Residences (apartments, with a March 2028 handover target on Property Finder), Al Waha Residences (handover in the second quarter of 2027, per the developer), Expo Valley Views (handover 31 October 2029, per the developer) and the villas and townhouses of Expo Valley: Yasmina Villas, Shamsa Townhouses and Maha Villas. Property Finder lists the Expo Valley houses and Mangrove Residences as ready.

Emaar is also building here. Expo Living is a joint development between Emaar and Dubai World Trade Centre covering about 450,000 sq m next to Expo City, with mid-rise phases such as Terra Woods priced from about AED 1.6 million and a 65,000 sq m Dubai Expo Mall. Emaar describes it as a short walk from Expo City, and Property Finder lists it under Expo City.

Connectivity is better than in most of the southern corridor because the Route 2020 branch of the Dubai Metro Red Line runs to a station at Expo City. By road, Bayut cites access to Sheikh Zayed Road (E11), Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311), Emirates Road (E611) and Expo Road (E77). Property Finder's figures for Sidr Residences are about 20 minutes to Dubai Marina, 35 minutes to Downtown Dubai and 40 minutes to Dubai International Airport.
