A Dubai South Properties complex in Expo City, under construction. Price per square foot is AED 2,025 for a unit around 1,383 ft².
What it is
Sidr Residences is a Dubai South Properties residential complex in Expo City. Status: under construction. The number of storeys and residences aren't listed in the passport.
Our stock carries one listing of around 1,383 square feet at AED 2.8 million, a price of AED 2,025 per square foot.
Neighbouring Mangrove Residences in the same district trades at 2,027 per foot — an almost identical price.
A steady price in a growing district
Expo City in our database — 24 lots, median AED 6.45 million at a price of AED 2,002 per square foot; Sidr Residences almost exactly matches the average.
The match with Mangrove Residences confirms that the price per square foot in Expo City is relatively stable across Dubai South's own projects, unlike many other districts with a wide spread.
Expo City grew out of the 2020 World Expo site and is still being built out — the infrastructure hasn't fully come together yet.
The building hasn't been handed over — check the escrow account and project registration as usual.

Where it is
Handover payment
A mortgage covers the final instalment
The final payment on this building falls in 2026 — under off-plan plans that is 40–60% of the price in one go. A UAE bank closes it: the flat becomes the security, and nothing is added on top of what the developer has already been paid.
- Up to 80% of the appraised value, no extra down payment
- 3.99% fixed for three years, up to 25 years in term
- 6–12 months before the keys — the bank wants six months of income history
Already been invoiced, or missed the date? That is not a dead end either — write and we will look at what the developer will accept.

Expo City Dubai: what happened to the world exposition site
Exposition sites usually decay after closing — it is nearly a rule. Dubai converted its into a permanent district, and the reason it is growing is the opposite of the usual Dubai story: the infrastructure came first.
