New & Off-Plan Projects in Haven
Haven is Aldar Properties' first residential launch in Dubai, comprising 2,428 freehold units released in phases since 2023. Construction began in the second quarter of 2024, with handover targeted for the third quarter of 2027, placing the community firmly in its off-plan build-out stage. Current phases include Elite Haven and Serene villas, Park Haven townhouses and the newer Verdes by Haven apartment collection, Aldar’s first mid-rise product within the masterplan. Buyers entering at this stage typically secure construction-linked payment plans rather than the resale pricing that follows completion, making Haven one of Dubailand’s more closely watched new launches heading into 2026.

Prices & Payment Plans in Haven
Off-plan pricing in Haven follows Aldar's typical construction-linked structure, with a modest booking deposit followed by staged instalments through the build period and a final payment on handover. Per-square-foot values across Haven's villas and townhouses sit within Dubailand's mid-market band, running an estimated 15-25% below comparable freehold villa communities such as Arabian Ranches or Dubai Hills Estate, reflecting the area's earlier stage of maturity. As the surrounding Wadi Al Safa 5 sector fills in with retail, schools and the planned metro extension, that pricing gap is expected to narrow over the coming years.
New Launches in Haven 2026
Haven's active release phase spans Elite Haven Villas, Serene Villas and Park Haven Townhouses, alongside the Verdes by Haven apartment collection. Further phases are expected to come to market through 2026 as Aldar builds out retail, wellness and community infrastructure ahead of the Q3 2027 handover, with early-phase buyers typically securing the most flexible payment terms and the widest choice of unit types.
Apartments, Villas & Townhouses in Haven
Haven offers three to six-bedroom villas across the Elite Haven and Serene collections, three to four-bedroom Park Haven townhouses, and one to three-bedroom apartments within Verdes by Haven. Unit sizes range from under 2,000 sq ft for entry-level apartments to more than 9,000 sq ft for the largest villas, giving the community a broad product spread across Dubailand and appeal across investors, upgraders and end-user families alike.

About Haven
Haven is Aldar Properties' debut residential development in Dubai, delivered through the developer's Aurora SPV 1 and located within the Wadi Al Safa 5 sector of the wider Dubailand master community. Sales launched in 2023 and construction began in the second quarter of 2024, with 2,428 freehold units spread across villas, townhouses and apartments. The masterplan sits along Emirates Road (E611) and Al Ain Road, on land previously earmarked for a different Dubailand scheme.
Life in Haven centres on a signature treehouse community hub and a winding stream that thread through landscaped parkland, giving the neighbourhood a quieter, greener feel than Dubai's denser inner-city districts. Residents move between meditation pavilions, yoga spaces and shaded running tracks rather than high-rise towers, and the low-density layout of villas and townhouses suits families who want space without giving up proximity to the city. It is a community built around slower mornings and outdoor routines.
Positioned around 25 minutes from Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina via Emirates Road, Haven trades at a meaningful discount per square foot to established villa communities such as Arabian Ranches and Dubai Hills Estate, reflecting its earlier stage of development. That gap, combined with Aldar's delivery record and the area's planned metro extension, positions Haven for above-average capital appreciation over the next 5-10 years, appealing to end-user families and yield-focused investors alike.

Why Invest in Haven
Growth forecast
Analysts covering the wider Wadi Al Safa 5 sector point to annual capital appreciation in the region of 8-12% through the remainder of the decade, driven by Aldar's build-out programme and Dubailand's planned infrastructure upgrades.
Rental yield
Aldar positions Haven for net returns of 6-8% on long-term lets, rising to as much as 12% for short-term stays, comparing favourably with the 5-7% gross average recorded across the broader Wadi Al Safa 5 sector.
Infrastructure drivers
A confirmed metro extension into Dubailand, ongoing retail and school openings across the wider sector, and Haven's own retail plaza and wellness centre all support demand as the community matures toward its Q3 2027 handover.
Capital appreciation and rental income profile
With villas, townhouses and apartments all represented, Haven suits a mixed exit strategy—buy-to-let apartments for steady rental income, and larger family villas positioned for end-user resale as the surrounding masterplan fills in.
Infrastructure and Everyday Life in Haven
Haven pairs its own on-site wellness amenities with a wider Dubailand neighbourhood that has matured considerably over the past decade, giving residents a mix of quiet community life and easy access to some of Dubai's largest entertainment venues.
Things to Do
Within Haven, residents have access to a wellness centre, meditation pavilions, yoga spaces and shaded cycling and running tracks built around the community’s central stream. A short drive away, Global Village and IMG Worlds of Adventure supply large-scale entertainment and dining, while Al Habtoor Polo Resort offers equestrian and golf facilities for a quieter weekend option.
Education
Families have several KHDA-rated options nearby, including GEMS FirstPoint School and Lycee Francais International Georges Pompidou, both rated 'Very Good' and covering British and French curricula respectively from foundation stage through secondary. GEMS Metropole School is also within easy reach, and Haven’s own masterplan includes an on-site nursery for younger children.
Healthcare
Everyday healthcare needs are covered within 5-10 minutes by car via Health Connect Poly Clinic, Aster Clinic Dubailand and the Dubai London Clinic’s Villa branch, with Mediclinic Parkview Hospital available nearby for more specialist care. Haven’s masterplan also includes an on-site clinic for routine consultations without leaving the community.
Where to Dine Out
Dining options are concentrated a short drive away in neighbouring Dubailand communities and at Cityland Mall, which brings together casual and family-friendly restaurants alongside its indoor botanical garden. Global Village and IMG Worlds of Adventure add seasonal food halls and pop-up dining during the cooler months, supplementing Haven’s own community cafes.
Best Places for Shopping
Cityland Mall is the nearest full-scale retail destination, combining a supermarket with fashion and homeware stores under one roof. Haven’s own retail plaza covers daily convenience shopping, while Global Village adds seasonal souks and pop-up retail from dozens of countries each winter season.
