The developments, which include apartments, townhouses, and villas, offer residents a unique opportunity to be part of the long-term vision of an incredible World Expo and to live in the heart of its proud legacy city—an integral hub in the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan—said the report.
Commenting on the Dubai Expo City’s villas and apartments report, it stated that the new clean and green integrated communities will have Expo City Dubai on their doorstep and exemplify best practises in innovative, environment-friendly design with a focus on wellbeing and sustainable living.
Ahmed Al Khatib, Chief Development and Delivery Officer at Expo City Dubai, said, "These unique residential projects are true to the nature and spirit of our World Expo and pave the way for a growing city that will serve as a blueprint for the way we live in the future—a best-in-class example of sustainable, regenerative, connected community living.
"They are a testament to our commitment to building a better future for Dubai and to creating a community that not only promotes a sustainable way of life but also enhances the quality of life for our residents." We can’t wait to share the details in the coming weeks."
According to the report, future residents will have easy access to Expo City Dubai’s diverse attractions, including its educational, cultural, and entertainment offerings, offices, leisure facilities, dining options, and event venues, as well as 10 km of cycling tracks, a 5 km running track, children’s playgrounds, and 45,000 sq m of parks and gardens.
The City, which is car-free to improve safety and air quality, is the first community in the region to be registered under the WELL Community Standard pilot, which recognises communities that prioritise the health and wellbeing of all inhabitants.
It is designed as a blueprint for "green" urban planning, retaining 80 percent of Expo 2020’s built infrastructure, including 123 LEED-certified buildings and eight CEEQUAL-certified projects, epitomising the highest levels of sustainable design, construction, and operations.
Report concluded that, till date, approximately one third of the Expo City site, which is within easy reach of international airports and the Jebel Ali Port and easily accessible by metro, has been built.
