Expo City Dubai
The developer that inherited a World Expo — Expo City keeps the pavilions, the plazas and the Metro, and builds homes into the city already there.
What the Developer Is Known For
Expo City Dubai was established in 2022 as a government-linked master developer and free-zone city, charged with turning the Expo 2020 site into a permanent district rather than demolishing it. Of its 450,000-plus sq m, more than 350,000 sq m is given to residential space. Sustainability drives the plan throughout, from retained pavilions to car-light street layouts. Residential districts include Expo Valley, Expo Central, Mangrove Residences, Sidr Residences, Al Waha and Ghadeer, with Terra Heights and Terra Gardens delivered alongside Emaar.
Built on a Retained Expo Site
Al Wasl Plaza and the Terra and Alif pavilions were kept rather than cleared, so residents inherit landmark architecture and mature landscaping from day one.
Designed Around Sustainability
The district was planned entirely around sustainable urban living, with shaded walkable streets, retained infrastructure and car-light residential layouts.
Its Own Metro Station
Expo City has a dedicated Metro station within the district, giving new residents rail access from the first handover rather than in a later phase.
