Our stock as of 28 August 2026. The median is the price of the middle lot; price per square foot is calculated only for lots with a verified area. The gap between the top and bottom of the table is 4.6x per square foot.
A district with a high median and a low price per foot
Expo City in our database — 24 lots, median AED 6.45 million at a price of AED 2,002 per square foot.
That combination means one thing: the district sells large lots. The median is driven by size, not by price levels, and it can't be used to judge how expensive a district is.
We saw the same effect at The Oasis by Emaar — first place by median (16.9 million) and second-to-last by price per foot (1,606) — and at Al Furjan, with a median of 4.45 million at the cheapest per-foot price in the city.
The rule from these numbers: the median tells you what kind of lots are being sold, while the price per square foot tells you what the district actually costs. Don't conflate the two.

When is Mangrove Residences handed over?
Construction is ongoing; the key-handover date for the unit you choose I check in the contract before you sign.
Where is Mangrove Residences?
Expo City Dubai. Expo City Dubai is the former Expo 2020 site, rebuilt as a district of its own: an exhibition centre, company headquarters and low-rise housing within walking distance, next to Dubai’s future main airport. It suits long-horizon investors and families who want a quiet, green, walkable neighbourhood.
How much does an apartment in Mangrove Residences cost?
There are no open listings for this building in the database right now. I will check the price for a particular layout against the closed databases and send it with the deal costs worked out.
The world exposition site is being built out for up to 300 000 residents, and every international exhibition in Dubai is being moved onto it. Together with the new airport and the second palm archipelago, that shifts development southwards.
The master developer turning the World Expo site into a permanent district. What a legacy site starts with that a normal master plan does not — and the one question that decides it.
The developer of the residential districts around Al Maktoum International. What an infrastructure-led location offers, and how to think about a thesis that depends on someone else’s timetable.
Exposition sites usually decay after closing — it is nearly a rule. Dubai converted its into a permanent district, and the reason it is growing is the opposite of the usual Dubai story: the infrastructure came first.
