Mangrove Residences is the inaugural residential project developed by Expo Dubai Group, positioned in the heart of the “city of the future,” Expo City Dubai. This particular visionary project consists of three interconnected towers showcasing a collection of 450 luxury units, including 1 to 4-bedroom apartments plus limited 3-bedroom townhouses. Designed with a focus on wellness and sustainability, the residences provide a “15-minute city” lifestyle where work, entertainment, plus nature are all within walking distance.
The development is celebrated for its integration with the Expo 2020 legacy, providing unobstructed views of the iconic Al Wasl Plaza, Jubilee Park, plus the Women’s Pavilion. Residents enjoy smart living environments that prioritize human health, showcasing expansive balconies that account for 14% of the total unit area and floor-to-ceiling windows with a minimum height of 3.15 meters. With construction progressing at a rapid pace (over 65% complete), the project is on track to welcome its first residents by Q1 2026.
