Expo City Dubai
The Expo 2020 site reborn as a residential city, designed around sustainability and walkability, with its own Metro station on site.
About the District
Expo City Dubai occupies the former Expo 2020 site along Expo Road (E77), near Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (E311) and Emirates Road (E611). The wider city spans over 450,000 sq m, of which more than 350,000 sq m is residential, developed by Expo City Dubai as master developer with Emaar and the Dubai World Trade Centre. Residential districts include Expo Valley, Expo Central and Mangrove Residences, with projects such as Terra Heights and Terra Gardens by Emaar, Sidr Residences, Al Waha and Ghadeer by Expo City.
Built Around Sustainability
The district was designed entirely around sustainable urban living, retaining the Expo 2020 pavilions and infrastructure rather than clearing the site.
Metro Station on Site
Expo City has its own Metro station and RTA bus links, giving the district rail access from the day residents move in — rare for a new masterplan.
Ten Minutes to Al Maktoum Airport
Al Maktoum International Airport is around ten minutes away, with Dubai South twenty, Dubai Marina thirty and Downtown Dubai thirty-five.

Area Overview
Expo City Dubai is the permanent reuse of the Expo 2020 site, converted into a mixed-use residential and business district rather than demolished. Expo City Dubai acts as master developer in partnership with Emaar Properties and the Dubai World Trade Centre, and the plan gives more than 350,000 sq m of its 450,000-plus sq m to residential space. Sustainability drives the design throughout, from retained pavilions to walkable, car-light street layouts. Residents are drawn from the aviation, logistics and events sectors clustered around Al Maktoum International Airport and Dubai South, alongside investors buying into a district with a metro station and government backing.
