Expo Valley and Expo Central residential plans launched

Expo City Dubai has launched the first phase of Expo Valley and Expo Central - its new residential developments that build on the exceptional standards of Expo 2020 Dubai to redefine urban living within a smart, sustainable, people-centric city of the future.

An integral part of the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, the clean, green, integrated communities exemplify best practices in innovative, environment-friendly design, with a focus on wellbeing and happiness.

Plans for the developments were viewed early this month by Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council.

Ahmed Al Khatib, Chief Development and Delivery Officer, Expo City Dubai, said, “We created an incredible bond of trust with our community when we built and delivered Expo 2020, showing the world what could be achieved in terms of beautiful, sustainable, best-in-class architecture that put people and planet at its core.

“People can expect the same - and more - from these exciting new developments. Expo Central and Expo Valley will redefine sustainable urban living, taking our high standards and everything you loved about Expo 2020 Dubai to create happy, connected communities with a shared purpose to give back more than they take.”

The projects cater to varying lifestyles and preferences and are designed to meet the highest levels of sustainability, providing environmentally friendly homes that enhance residents’ wellbeing, building on the World Expo’s sustainability credentials and supporting Expo City Dubai’s wider carbon neutrality goals and the UAE’s net-zero targets.

Adjacent to the main World Expo site, Expo Valley combines care for the planet with the health, wellbeing and happiness of its residents. Its smart, sustainable villas and townhouses are dispersed throughout an undulating native landscape that overlooks a nature reserve, lake and wadi, with its unique topography creating a microclimate that lowers temperatures and provides a natural buffer against noise and dust.

Featuring car-free lanes and dedicated tracks for cycles and e-scooters, Expo Valley is a community peppered with recreational, educational, and wellness opportunities, farm-to-table dining and convenient retail options, with easy access to all the attractions of Expo City Dubai via a ‘green link’ corridor for pedestrians, cyclists and autonomous vehicles. The first phase of the neighbourhood consists of 165 units - a mix of five-bedroom independent villas, four- and five-bedroom duets (semi-detached villas) and three- and four-bedroom townhouses, with prices starting at Dhs 3.4 million.

Expo Central, located at the heart of the proud legacy city of the World Expo, consists of three apartment clusters, each with its own design philosophy and target audience. Mangrove Residences is the first cluster to launch, with its three towers offering incredible views of Al Wasl Plaza and Jubilee Park and within a five-minute walk from the city’s facilities and attractions.

The first phase comprises 450 luxury and premium residences, priced from Dhs 1.2 million, include one- to three-bed apartments, four-bed loft apartments and three-bed townhouses, all providing smart, tech-enabled living environments and access to podium gardens and sky terraces. Mangrove Residences features pedestrian-friendly avenues, vibrant, green public spaces, swimming pools, play areas, gyms, retail and F&B, with all the convenience of a new urban community at the doorstep. Two more clusters - Sky Residences and Sidr Residences - will launch in the near future.

The first phase will be completed in January 2026. Aldar Properties has announced the launch of Reeman Living, a new residential development that brings design-led urban living to Aldar’s Alreeman project in the Al Shamkha neighbourhood of Abu Dhabi.

The project provides a selection of vibrant and inclusive communities within prime areas of Abu Dhabi. The development also offers bespoke design elements and colour palettes, efficient storage spaces, and an adaptable environment.

Available to buyers of all nationalities, 630 of the development’s 1,050 units will be available for purchase during the first phase of the launch. Spread across five low-rise buildings, studios, one-bed, two-bed, and three-bed apartments will be available, with public sales commencing on 18th March and prices starting from Dhs365,000.

Commenting on the launch, Rashed Al Omaira, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldar Development, said, “It is increasingly clear that there is high demand for modern, urban living spaces throughout the emirate. Offering the high quality that Aldar is known for, we are proud to bring the second project within our new urban collection to the market.

“Reeman Living allows Aldar to tap into a new customer segment, offering them a unique product that emphasizes urban living and a strong sense of community. We look forward to expanding this design-led collection in other hotspots across Abu Dhabi over the coming months.”

As part of Aldar’s commitment to sustainability, the residential buildings at Reeman Living will feature several sustainable design and building measures including green building technologies and efficient fixtures to conserve water energy. The buildings have been designed to achieve a two-pearl rating, as per the Estidama sustainability rating system, exceeding the latest standards set in the UAE.
