New & Off-Plan Projects in Avena
Avena is one of the newest off-plan releases within The Valley 2, launched by Emaar Properties as a direct extension of the original Valley master plan. The project sits alongside sister cluster Avena 2 and offers four-bedroom villas across three facade styles—Lily, Lotus and Gardenia—each with direct access to the community’s Central Park. Construction is under way, with handover scheduled for the second quarter of 2028. As an off-plan launch, Avena gives early buyers access to pre-completion pricing and a staged 80/20 payment structure, while drawing on the wider Valley master community’s expanding amenity base, including the Town Centre and Sports Village.

Prices & Payment Plans in Avena
Avena is sold on an 80/20 payment plan: a 10% booking deposit, staged instalments totalling 70% through construction and a 20% payment on handover in Q2 2028. Pricing sits roughly 20-35% below comparable villa stock in Dubai Hills Estate, reflecting Avena's position on Dubailand's western growth corridor rather than a central Dubai address. Buyers should budget for the standard 4% DLD transfer fee alongside the developer's construction-linked schedule, and confirm the latest starting price directly with the developer or a registered agent given the pre-completion status of the launch.
New Launches in Avena 2026
Avena forms part of a wider 2026 release wave across The Valley 2, alongside sister clusters Rivera, Velora, Venera and Vindera. All are being delivered on a similar construction-linked timeline, with Avena and Avena 2 among the first to market within this phase. Buyers entering at this stage benefit from pre-launch pricing ahead of the Town Centre and Sports Village reaching completion, expected to lift demand across The Valley 2 as amenities come online.
Apartments, Villas & Townhouses in Avena
Avena is exclusively a villa community: every unit is a four-bedroom villa of 3,685 to 3,708 sq ft, set on a private landscaped plot of 3,082 to 3,685 sq ft, across the three Lily, Lotus and Gardenia facades. Buyers seeking townhouses or a wider mix of unit sizes within the same master plan can look to neighbouring clusters such as Velora and Venera, both offering three-bedroom townhouses within The Valley 2.

About Avena
Avena is a villa cluster within The Valley 2, the second phase of Emaar Properties' master-planned Valley community in Dubailand. Launched in July 2024 alongside sister cluster Avena 2, Avena occupies a plot fronting the community's Central Park, close to the junction of Dubai-Al Ain Road (E66) and Jebel Ali-Lehbab Road (E77). The Valley 2 extends the original 2019 Valley master plan across roughly 200 hectares, adding more than 4,500 homes to Emaar's Dubailand portfolio.
Life in Avena centres on space and greenery rather than density. Each villa sits on a landscaped plot with private parking, framed by forest walks, pocket gardens and dune-inspired planting running through The Valley's wider master plan. Families gather along the Green Spine, a landscaped corridor linking clusters to the Town Centre, while children use the nearby Kids Dale play zone and Sports Village. The pace favours suburban routine over city rhythm, with neighbours who know each other by name.
Avena sits roughly 20-35% below comparable villa pricing in Dubai Hills Estate, reflecting its address on Dubailand's growth corridor rather than a central one. Dubai-Al Ain Road and Emirates Road place Downtown Dubai and Business Bay within a half-hour drive, while Academic City and Expo City Dubai sit closer still. With gross rental yields for Dubailand villas running at 4.5-6% and citywide villa values forecast to rise by roughly 14-18% during 2026, Avena suits families and longer-horizon investors.

Why Invest in Avena
Growth forecast
Citywide villa capital values are forecast to rise by roughly 14-18% during 2026, with Dubailand villas expected to track this trend from a lower entry base than coastal and central districts.
Rental yield
Gross rental yields for Dubailand villas typically run at 4.5-6%, supported by consistent family tenant demand along the western growth corridor.
Infrastructure drivers
The planned Dubai Metro Blue Line extension into Dubailand, the continued build-out of Expo City Dubai and Al Maktoum International Airport's expansion are all expected to improve connectivity and support values across The Valley 2 over the medium term.
Capital appreciation and rental profile
Avena's villa pricing sits an estimated 20-35% below comparable stock in Dubai Hills Estate, while its entry price clears the AED 2 million threshold for Golden Visa eligibility, combining a longer-horizon capital growth case with a stable, family-led rental profile.
Infrastructure and Everyday Life in Avena
As a recently launched cluster, Avena draws on The Valley's shared community infrastructure rather than standalone facilities, with further amenities scheduled to open as construction progresses.
Things to Do
Avena residents draw on The Valley’s shared amenity base rather than standalone facilities. The 250,000 sq m Central Park sits directly across from the cluster, alongside the Golden Beach (a 47,000 sq m man-made lagoon) and the Sports Village’s running tracks, courts and gym Kids Dale’s amphitheatre and archaeological-themed play area suit younger residents, while Global Village and IMG Worlds of Adventure lie around 15 minutes away by car for wider entertainment.
Education
Families in Avena typically look toward schools clustered around Academic City and the wider Dubailand corridor rather than a single on-site campus. The Aquila School, GEMS FirstPoint School, Dubai English Speaking College and Lycee Francais Georges Pompidou each sit within roughly a 15-minute drive, covering British, IB and French curricula. Academic City itself, home to Heriot-Watt University Dubai and the University of Birmingham Dubai, lies about 10 minutes away.
Healthcare
On-site healthcare is still developing: The Valley’s own multi-speciality medical centre is expected to open by the third quarter of 2027. Until then, residents rely on Aster Clinic and Dubai London Clinic, both within a 15-minute drive, alongside NMC Royal Hospital roughly 10 minutes away. Mediclinic Parkview Hospital and Emirates Hospital, both established multi-speciality facilities, sit within a wider 20-minute radius.
Where to Dine Out
Dining inside Avena currently centres on The Valley Pavilion, where Costa Coffee and Friends Avenue Cafe serve residents daily alongside a Monoprix Cafe Corner. Green Leaf Restaurant and Oasis Grill offer casual sit-down options elsewhere in the community. The 32,000 sq m Town Centre, still under construction, is planned to add a wider mix of casual and family dining once complete.
Best Places for Shopping
Everyday shopping runs through The Valley Pavilion’s supermarket and pharmacy, with Dubai Outlet Mall and Cityland Mall a short drive away for wider retail choice. City Centre Me’aisem and Dubai Hills Mall, roughly 20 minutes by car, extend the offer to anchor department stores, cinemas and larger fashion outlets.
