Sidr Residences is a ground-breaking residential project developed by Expo Dubai Group, positioned in the heart of the world-class Expo City Dubai. Following the high demand for residential units in this legacy district, Sidr Residences introduces three interconnected mid-rise towers (up to 16 floors) providing a premium collection of 1 to 4-bedroom apartments and lofts. This particular project is designed as a “city within a city,” prioritizing wellness, sustainability, plus high-tech functionality within a fully walkable urban neighborhood.
The community is uniquely located to offer residents a tech-enabled lifestyle, showcase 5G-connected infrastructure, and integrated home automation. Architecturally, the towers feature contemporary aesthetics with floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive balconies that provide sweeping views of Al Wasl Plaza plus the Surreal Waterfall. With construction commenced in early 2025 and the Engineering Contracting Company (ECC) appointed as the main contractor, the project is on track for a Q1 2028 delivery.
