Al Waha Residences Phase 2 is an exclusive residential project developed by Expo Dubai Group, located in the heart of the sustainably crafted Expo City Dubai. Following the rapid sell-out of Phase 1, this particular second phase introduces a boutique collection of 284 residences, including spacious 1 and 2-bedroom apartments and signature lofts. Housed in elegant low-rise G+2 buildings, the project is characterized by its “folded earth” topography and the iconic “Al Waha” canopies that provide natural shade plus a rare microclimate.
Every particular residence is crafted with a focus on volume and light, showcasing double-height ceilings (up to 6 meters in lofts) and floor-to-ceiling windows. The development emphasizes a pedestrian-friendly lifestyle, with homes connected by “sikkas” (traditional pathways) plus lush courtyards. Strategically positioned near the Dubai Metro and the world-class attractions of Expo City, Phase 2 provides a future-proof investment in Dubai’s most innovative urban hub. The project is currently under construction and is scheduled for completion in Q2 2027.
