11 New Off-Plan Projects in Expo City

Expo City Dubai is the legacy site of Expo 2020, repurposed by the Expo City Dubai Authority into a sustainable urban district sitting next to Al Maktoum International Airport in the Dubai South corridor. The master plan includes residential, commercial and innovation-district zones — with significant green-design and walkability emphasis. Off-plan asking prices: average AED 2.9M across active projects, with units AED 1.6M–5.1M. Per-sqft pricing ranges AED 1,924–2,181 in the February 2026 dataset. Notable releases include Al Waha Residences (Q4 2026 delivery) with 10–15% capital appreciation projected by 2027. Rental yields average 5–7% gross with higher tier projects reaching 7–10%. The investment thesis is airport-corridor demand: Al Maktoum International Airport Phase 1 completing 2029, plus innovation-district employer relocations. Tier-3 growth/emerging characterisation — best suited to 5-8 year horizons.
