New & Off-Plan Projects in The Acres
The Acres is currently one of Dubailand’s most active off-plan releases, developed in two collections: The Acres Villas, with 3 to 5-bedroom standalone homes, and The Acres Estates, offering larger 5 to 7-bedroom residences on wider plots. The community is being delivered across roughly 108.85 hectares, with the first phase comprising 642 properties and the full masterplan expected to reach approximately 1,200 villas. Handover is scheduled for Q4 2027. Buyers typically commit a 5-10% booking deposit, with the balance split between construction-linked instalments and a payment due on handover, making The Acres a structured entry point into Dubailand’s off-plan market.

Prices & Payment Plans in The Acres
Pricing at The Acres reflects its position as a low-density, large-plot villa community rather than a high-rise or townhouse product, so entry prices sit above Dubailand's apartment and townhouse segments. Payment structures follow a construction-linked model: a booking deposit of 5-10% secures a unit, followed by staged instalments tied to construction milestones through to handover, with the remaining balance—typically around 35%—due on completion. This structure spreads cost over the build period rather than requiring full payment upfront, which suits both end-users planning their move and investors targeting capital appreciation ahead of handover.
New Launches in The Acres 2026
Meraas has phased The Acres' release across multiple collections, with The Acres Estates introduced as a premium extension offering larger 5 to 7-bedroom plots for buyers seeking additional space and privacy. As of 2026, remaining inventory across both collections continues to be released in phases, with each new tranche typically reflecting updated pricing against construction progress. Prospective buyers should confirm current availability directly, as allocations move quickly given Dubailand's broader investor demand.
Apartments, Villas & Townhouses in The Acres
The Acres is a villa-only community with no apartment or townhouse product. The Acres Villas collection spans 3 to 5-bedroom standalone homes from 3,048 to 6,001 square feet, featuring double-height living spaces, panoramic windows, private pools, rear gardens and parking for two vehicles. The Acres Estates collection offers 5 to 7-bedroom residences from 6,913 to 11,090 square feet, split into the Ivory and Amber collections, with larger family zones, staff quarters and studies built into the layout.

About The Acres
The Acres is a standalone villa community developed by Meraas within Wadi Al Safa 7, part of the wider Dubailand master community. The project is structured across two collections—The Acres Villas and the larger-format The Acres Estates—spread over approximately 108.85 hectares. The first phase delivered 642 homes, with the full development expected to total close to 1,200 villas on handover in Q4 2027. Direct access to Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street and Emirates Road places the community within Dubailand's established road network.
Life within The Acres is built around seven themed gardens, swimmable lagoons and the Halo Loop, a landscaped trail connecting each neighbourhood for walking and cycling. Homes are designed with double-height living spaces and panoramic windows that draw the surrounding greenery indoors, while rear gardens and private pools extend that connection outside. The pedestrian-first layout, on-site school and low-rise skyline give the community a quieter, family-oriented rhythm than Dubai's more built-up villa districts.
Entry prices in The Acres sit below Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina, consistent with Dubailand's positioning as a value corridor roughly 20-30% cheaper than central freehold districts. Emirates Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road put Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina within around 25 minutes, while Al Maktoum International Airport and Dubai International Airport are both accessible within a similar drive time. The community suits end-user families seeking space and greenery without leaving Dubai's freehold market, alongside investors targeting Dubailand's forecast annual capital appreciation of 7-10% as surrounding infrastructure matures.

Why Invest in The Acres
Growth Forecast
Dubailand's growth corridor is projected to see annual capital appreciation of 7-10%, with some forecasts pointing to 10-15% as new attractions and infrastructure mature around communities such as The Acres.
Rental Yield
Large-format villas at The Acres are likely to track Dubai's citywide villa benchmark of around 4-6% gross, though the wider Dubailand corridor—spanning smaller villa and townhouse product—has recorded yields as high as 9.1%, reflecting strong tenant demand for family housing in the area.
Infrastructure Drivers
Planned RTA feeder bus and future metro connectivity are gradually improving Dubailand's public transport reach, alongside ongoing road upgrades along Emirates Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road. The continued expansion of nearby attractions including Global Village and IMG Worlds of Adventure is steadily strengthening the wider corridor's appeal.
Capital Appreciation & Rental Income Profile
Entry prices in The Acres remain 20-30% below equivalent product in Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina, giving investors room for appreciation as the community matures. Properties above AED 2 million qualify buyers for the UAE Golden Visa, while Meraas' track record with Bluewaters Island and City Walk supports long-term resale confidence.
Infrastructure and Everyday Life in The Acres
Beyond its own gardens and lagoons, The Acres benefits from Dubailand's established leisure, education and healthcare network, much of it within a short drive of the community.
Things to Do
Residents have direct access to the Halo Loop trail, swimmable lagoons and themed gardens within the community, alongside an outdoor gym and children’s play areas. A short drive away, Global Village offers seasonal entertainment and international pavilions, while Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club and Hamdan Sports Complex are around five minutes away for equestrian and sporting activities. IMG Worlds of Adventure and Dubai Miracle Garden are also within easy reach for family day trips.
Education

Healthcare
An on-site clinic within The Acres covers everyday medical needs for residents. Mediclinic Parkview Hospital sits within a short drive of the community, providing broader specialist and emergency care for families across this part of Dubailand.
