Expo City Dubai has contracted Engineering Contracting Company (ECC) to develop Sidr Residences, a mixed-use residential project comprising 421 apartments, lofts, and townhouses across three interconnected towers—two rising 15 floors and one 13 floors—with units ranging from one to four bedrooms.
The development marks the latest addition to Expo City’s expanding residential portfolio, joining Expo Valley, Mangrove Residences, Sky Residences, and Al Waha Residences in the master community. Located strategically between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, Sidr Residences offers direct access to Al Maktoum International Airport, Jebel Ali Port, and the Dubai Exhibition Centre.
Ahmed Al Khatib, Chief Development and Delivery Officer at Expo City Dubai, commented on the partnership:
“Sidr Residences captures the essence of our vision for a sustainable, connected, forward-looking city. Partnering with a trusted local contractor like ECC ensures the highest standards of quality and delivery as we continue to build the city of the future.”
Nedal Ihsun, General Director of ECC, added:
“We are thrilled to bring Sidr Residences to life. This project blends smart, eco-conscious design with the convenience of a walkable urban neighbourhood and we are proud to deliver a development that exemplifies excellence and visionary urban design in Dubai.”
The project blends modern architecture with sustainability principles and community-focused urban planning. Sidr Residences is positioned as a benchmark for contemporary urban living within Expo City Dubai, emphasizing walkability, ecological consciousness, and integrated neighbourhood amenities.
The development aligns with the 2040 Dubai Urban Master Plan and Dubai Economic Agenda (D33), reinforcing Expo City’s role as a central hub for innovation, sustainability, and connected city living. Dubai’s infrastructure investments continue to drive property value appreciation, further strengthening demand for well-located residential communities.
This contract award reflects the broader momentum in Dubai’s real estate sector, where weekly transactions reached AED 20.57 billion ($5.6 billion) in recent reporting periods, demonstrating sustained market confidence and developer activity across the emirate.
