What it is
Sky Residences is a multi-building residential complex in Expo City Dubai. Developer: Dubai South Properties; architect: SSH. 419 apartments, with the tallest block at 15 storeys. Status: under construction.
The complex lists a pool, sports facilities and landscaping.
Our stock as of 21 September 2026 has one unit — a studio at AED 505,000. No size is given, so no price per square foot.
A bet on Expo City
The district is Dubai South, the zone around Al Maktoum airport and Expo City. The investment logic is a bet on infrastructure that doesn't exist yet: once the airport reaches design capacity, jobs and rental demand should follow.
Our database has 99 lots in Dubai South, median AED 4.2 million, entry from AED 580,000, AED 1,510/ft². Only 21% is ready.
A studio at AED 505,000 sits below the district's entry price, making it one of the cheapest ways into the zone.

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.
