Expo City Dubai announces key contractor appointments for Al Waha Residences
ARCO Group has been chosen to manage Al Waha at Mobility District, while Al Futtaim Contracting will handle Al Waha at the Opportunity District
Expo City Dubai said that it is making steady progress on Al Waha Residences, a luxurious residential development slated for completion in 2027. The development gained momentum after the appointment of two crucial contractors to oversee the MEP works, landscaping, and interiors.
ARCO Group has been chosen to manage Al Waha at Mobility District, while Al Futtaim Contracting will handle Al Waha at the Opportunity District. Al Waha comprises over 500 1- and 2-bedroom apartments and duplex lofts spread across 42 buildings. It intelligently remodels the legacy infrastructure from Expo 2020 to create contemporary homes, Expo City Dubai said.
Designed with sustainability and innovation in mind, the properties are shaded by the distinctive ‘Al Waha’ canopies and are located within walking distance of the city’s central amenities.

Ahmed Al Khatib, Chief Development and Delivery Officer at Expo City Dubai said, “Al Waha is a key residential project in our mission to build the city of the future, embodying Expo City Dubai’s vision of sustainable and community-driven living. We are delighted to have two trusted contractors on board to help propel this vision forward, delivering the highest standards of quality and execution for our future residents.”
The project forms part of Expo City’s diverse residential portfolio, which includes Expo Valley, a community of villas and townhouses as well as a range of apartments across Expo Valley Views and Mangrove, Sky and Sidr Residences.
The new centre of Dubai’s future, Expo City is located mid-way between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, offering direct access to Al Maktoum International Airport, Jebel Ali Port and the Dubai Exhibition Centre. It is a core hub in the 2040 Dubai Urban Master Plan, powering the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33), the statement concluded.
