Al Waha Residences

Al Waha Residences adapts Expo 2020’s legacy buildings into homes within Expo City Dubai. The distinctive canopies above the courtyards give the collection its name and retain a recognisable element of the original urban fabric. Rather than following a conventional residential-tower model, the project combines low-rise buildings, shaded pedestrian lanes and quieter internal spaces close to the city’s business and cultural activity.

The collection includes one- and two-bedroom apartments and two-bedroom duplex lofts. High ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glazing and contemporary finishes create several different living arrangements, while underground parking supports the pedestrian setting above. The January 2026 construction update describes more than 500 homes across 42 buildings in the Mobility and Opportunity districts. Different building types give the apartments and lofts their own layouts and relationship with the shaded courtyards.

Shaded courtyards and sikkas are central to the design, with access to fitness and pool facilities described in the official launch. ARCO Group and Al Futtaim Contracting were appointed for works across the Mobility and Opportunity districts respectively. The current project page gives a handover target in the second quarter of 2027. Individual apartments and lofts should be assessed by their building, floor plan and the delivery terms attached to their release.

Expo City has its own Metro station and connections to Dubai’s wider road network. The address places homes near cultural attractions and an established business community, while the surrounding residential districts continue to evolve. Compare the precise layout, outlook and delivery stage of the chosen residence, as these vary across buildings and releases. Current availability and the applicable payment schedule should be confirmed for the particular home.
