The first homes in what has been described as the UAE's first 15-minute city will be handed over in the first quarter of 2026, Expo City Dubai authorities said.
The site of the world's fair, held in the emirate from October 2021 to March 2022, is being transformed into a city where attractions, transport links, schools and parks will be within walking distance for residents. Videos of construction shared for the first time show cranes operating near much-loved Expo pavilions.
Work is under way to build apartments and villas with paths and hiking trails that will turn the sprawling Expo 2020 site into a residential community.
The apartment buildings, featuring homes ranging from one to four bedrooms, will have views of the Surreal water feature and the massive Al Wasl Plaza. A senior Expo official said details of the school and hospital to be built in the area would be announced soon.
Authorities said international conferences, concerts and sports events will continue to be held at Expo City Dubai. Visitors will still have access to attractions while the residential neighborhoods are developed.
Parks and venues at the site have been in use since the Expo welcomed people and delegates from around the world. Plans are to be announced for more plots sales on the surrounding Expo site. The plots will be for residential and commercial properties.
