Meraas, a Dubai Holding Real Estate member, has announced the launch of more than 200 new homes at its villa community at The Acres in Dubailand. The latest launch caters to growing demand for nature-inspired and eco-conscious living, following the success and sell-out of more than half the community in the initial release.
The Acres is a luxurious residential development comprising 1,200 three- to seven-bedroom villas set amidst gardens and lagoons. The homes feature open plan layouts with double-height living spaces and floor-to-ceiling windows. They also include rear gardens and outdoor rooms. The newly-launched 200+ additional units range from three- to five-bedroom villas, spanning from 3,048 square feet to 6,001 square feet.
Khalid Al Malik, Chief Executive Officer, Dubai Holding Real Estate, said, “The overwhelming response to The Acres’ first release is a testament to our vision of creating vibrant, community-focused destinations that nurture a sense of belonging and well-being. The new launch builds on this momentum as we expand our unique offerings with innovative spaces that foster a connection with nature and set a new standard for refined living in Dubai. The latest release will continue to prioritise energy efficiency and water conservation, reinforcing our environmental stewardship and unwavering commitment to sustainability.”
Meraas is committed to achieving LEED Community certification for The Acres. The community development aims to achieve an 80 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions per capita, compared to the national average. Additionally, it intends to use 33 percent less water than the UAE average and meet 100 percent of irrigation demand through treated wastewater. In addition, water saving fixtures, efficient irrigation systems and low water plants ensure that the residents are also part of the sustainability journey.
The Acres provides wide range of amenities including a nursery, school, clinic, mosques, clubhouses, a retail area, and a 2,000 square metre Edible Garden. A walking and biking trail network, outdoor gym, kids’ playgrounds, swimming pools and sports areas support the active lifestyle of residents.
The strategic location of the development offers easy access to a well-connected road network that is directly linked to Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street and Emirates Road. Surrounded by several fully developed neighborhoods within its direct vicinity, The Acres is just a five-minute drive from the Hamdan Sports Complex, ten minutes from Global Village and 25 minutes from Dubai International Airport.
