World Trade Centre Residences

World Trade Centre Residences is a small residential cluster sitting inside the WTC precinct — one of Dubai's oldest and most connected commercial districts. It caters primarily to professionals who want to live within walking distance of major offices, event venues, and transport links.

Location & connectivity

The community sits directly on Sheikh Zayed Road, giving residents immediate access to Dubai's main arterial highway in both directions. The ADCB Metro Station (Red Line) is within a 5-minute walk, placing DIFC roughly 5 minutes away and Dubai Mall around 10 minutes by train. Downtown Dubai is a 7-minute drive; Dubai International Airport is approximately 20 minutes by road.

Property mix

The residential offering is limited in scale, focused almost entirely on apartments within high-rise towers attached to or adjacent to the WTC complex.

• •Apartments: World Trade Centre Residences Tower
• •Serviced Apartments: Various short-stay and corporate units within the precinct

Schools

There are no schools within the community itself. Nearby options include:

• •GEMS Wellington Primary School, Al Karama — approx. 10-min drive, British curriculum
• •Dubai English Speaking School (DESS), Oud Metha — approx. 12-min drive, British curriculum
• •Jumeirah English Speaking School (JESS), Jumeirah — approx. 15-min drive, British/IB curriculum

Healthcare

No hospital is located within the community. Nearby facilities include:

• •Mediclinic City Hospital, Healthcare City — approx. 10-min drive
• •American Hospital Dubai, Oud Metha — approx. 12-min drive
• •Saudi German Hospital, Al Barsha — approx. 20-min drive

Shopping & dining

The Dubai World Trade Centre itself hosts regular large-scale exhibitions and retail activations, though daily grocery shopping requires leaving the precinct. Carrefour at BurJuman Mall (10-min drive) or Waitrose at Downtown Dubai (10-min drive) are the most practical options. The Sheikh Zayed Road corridor has a dense strip of hotel-based restaurants and casual dining — notably within the Novotel and Ibis properties on-site.

Parks & leisure

Dedicated green space within the community is minimal — this is an urban, high-density precinct. Zabeel Park, one of Dubai's larger public parks, is approximately 10 minutes away by car. The Dubai Frame, located at the edge of Zabeel Park, is a short drive and offers a distinctive attraction for residents and guests.

Things to consider

This is a dense, urban address with little greenery or family-oriented amenity on its doorstep — it suits single professionals or corporate tenants far more than families. Parking and street-level pedestrian experience are functional rather than comfortable, and the area picks up significant traffic and exhibition-related congestion during major DWTC events.
