DUBAI – Expo City Dubai is maintaining strong momentum on Al Waha Residences – the luxury residential development due for completion in 2027 – following the appointment of two key contractors who will oversee MEP works, landscaping and interiors.

With the project spread across two districts at Expo City, ARCO Group has been selected to oversee Al Waha at Mobility District, while Al Futtaim Contracting will be responsible for Al Waha at Opportunity District.

Comprising more than 500 one- and two-bedroom apartments and duplex lofts spread across 42 buildings, Al Waha intelligently remodels legacy infrastructure from Expo 2020 to create contemporary homes. Designed with sustainability and innovation in mind, the properties are shaded by the distinctive ‘Al Waha’ canopies and located within walking distance of the city’s central amenities.

Ahmed Al Khatib, Chief Development and Delivery Officer at Expo City Dubai, said: “Al Waha is a key residential project in our mission to build the city of the future, embodying Expo City Dubai’s vision of sustainable and community-driven living. We are delighted to have two trusted contractors on board to help propel this vision forward, delivering the highest standards of quality and execution for our future residents.”

The project forms part of Expo City’s diverse residential portfolio, which includes Expo Valley – a community of villas and townhouses – as well as a range of apartments across Expo Valley Views and Mangrove, Sky and Sidr Residences.

The new centre of Dubai’s future, Expo City is located mid-way between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, offering direct access to Al Maktoum International Airport, Jebel Ali Port and the Dubai Exhibition Centre. It is a core hub in the 2040 Dubai Urban Master Plan, powering the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33).
