Expo Living, a thoughtfully designed urban community will offer a modern lifestyle for residents seeking seamless connectivity, exceptional experiences, and serene living spaces. Terra Heights, the first residential phase of Expo Living, is now open for launch.
 
Expo Living’s strategic location ensures easy access to key destinations, placing residents just a 15-minute walk from Expo City and Dubai Exhibition Centre, which is set for an AED10 billion ($2.72 billion) expansion that will increase the exhibition space from 58,000 sqm to 180,000 sqm by 2031, making it the largest indoor exhibition and events destination in the region, while being a short drive from Dubai’s upcoming mega gateway, Al Maktoum International Airport. 
 
Announcing the new venture, Emaar Properties said its shared vision with DWTC for the Expo Living development covers a total area of 451,295 sq m, including 358,473 sq m of residential spaces, complemented by Dubai Expo Mall, a contemporary shopping destination offering a curated selection of retail, dining, and leisure options. 
 
Green parks, landscaped courtyards, and a variety of fitness facilities form the heart of the community, creating a balance between relaxation and social interaction, it stated. 
 
"Expo Living reflects our focus on creating places where people can connect, grow, and thrive," said Ahmed Al Matrooshi, Executive Director, Emaar Properties. 
 
"Its location, right next to Expo City and minutes from Al Maktoum International Airport, puts residents in the centre of its all. Whether for work, travel, or leisure, everything is within easy reach. With well-planned amenities and a design that encourages community living, Expo Living makes balancing the fast pace of Dubai with moment of peace effortless," he stated.
