Meraas, a member of Dubai Holding Real Estate (DHRE), has announced the launch of the final phase of The Acres, its standalone villa community in Dubailand. The phase comprises 106 villas with three to five bedrooms. The phase also features the Acres Estates – a selection of 102 mansions featuring five to seven bedrooms across Amber and Ivory Collections.
The Acres villas feature a blend of indoor and outdoor living spaces, centrally located kitchens with easy access to dining and lounge areas, master bedroom suites with private terraces and walk-in closets, spacious bathrooms with views of the surrounding landscape, and unique courtyard designs maximising natural light and privacy.
The Acres Estates range in plot size from 9,000 to 17,700 square feet across both the Amber and Ivory Collections, with private gardens that are directly connected to pedestrian pathways full of greenery that lead to the park and lagoon. The Amber Collection exudes a contemporary aesthetic with clean lines and natural materials, while the Ivory Collection presents a more traditional design with vertical stone-clad walls and minimalist white horizontal lines.
Khalid Al Malik, Chief Executive Officer, Dubai Holding Real Estate, said, “The launch of the final phase of The Acres reflects our commitment to creating sustainable communities that promote well-being and a strong connection with nature, values that are increasingly important to today’s homeowners. With evolving consumer preferences prioritising eco-conscious living, wellness-focused design, and thoughtfully integrated spaces, The Acres is designed to meet these changing needs. Achieving LEED Gold® pre-certification further underscores our dedication to environmental responsibility and global best practices, ensuring a future-focused lifestyle for our residents.”
Residents benefit from an abundance of green spaces, with every villa a mere three-minute walk from a park. The community is also thoughtfully designed to feature a strong social infrastructure including the Halo Loop Park, a nursery, school, clinic, mosques, clubhouses, retail area, and an Edible Garden. Active lifestyle amenities include a trail network, outdoor gym, playgrounds, swimming pools, and sports areas.
Designed to promote sustainability, The Acres is committed to an 80 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions per capita compared to the national average and utilises 33 percent less water than the UAE average, with 100 percent of irrigation demand covered by treated wastewater. The project incorporates water-saving fixtures, efficient irrigation systems, and low-water plants.
The community was awarded the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold for Communities pre-certification, a unique aspect of the LEED programme, underscoring Meraas’ commitment to building environmentally responsible communities from the ground up and to international standards, with sustainability at the heart of its operations.
Centrally located in Dubailand, The Acres enjoys a prime setting surrounded by established neighbourhoods. It is just a ten-minute drive from Global Village and only five minutes from Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club and Hamdan Sports Complex. With direct access to Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street and Emirates Road, the community offers effortless connectivity.
