How Aldar operates in Dubai
Aldar is not a Dubai developer that expanded into Abu Dhabi. It is the other way round: an Abu Dhabi company, listed on the ADX and part-owned by Mubadala, that entered Dubai in late 2023 through a joint venture with Dubai Holding. Every Dubai community on this page is a product of that vehicle.
The pattern since has been one community a year, each with a distinct theme. Haven, announced 26 October 2023, is wellness-led. Athlon, launched 7 May 2024, is built around active living. The Wilds, launched 19 February 2025, is nature and biodiversity-led and starts considerably higher than the other two.
On 6 to 8 February 2026 Aldar announced an expansion of the joint venture covering two further plots: roughly four million square metres near Nad Al Sheba, launching in 2026, and about 250,000 square metres of GFA on Palm Jebel Ali, launching in 2027. Their combined gross development value was stated at over AED 38 billion across around 14,000 homes, taking the Dubai pipeline past 2.3 million square metres of GFA.
A fourth name, Aldar Studio City, appears in one source only. We have not been able to corroborate it and it does not appear on this page.
What Aldar does and does not publish
Aldar publishes sales outcomes in unusual detail. The AED 3.1 billion Haven sell-out and the AED 4.1 billion Athlon sell-out both come from Aldar press releases, as do the 2,428-home count at Haven and the 1,492-home count at Athlon. When a figure on this site is attributed to Aldar, it is because Aldar printed it.
What Aldar does not publish is equally important. It does not put out project-level construction progress percentages the way Nakheel does, so any Aldar progress figure you see quoted comes from a broker aggregator. It generally does not publish per-typology price lists, only community starting prices. And it does not publish drive times for any of the three Dubai communities.
The practical consequence is that Aldar villa prices on this site carry the indicative flag more often than the verified one. That is not a reflection on Aldar; it is a reflection on what has actually been made public.
Buying an Aldar villa in practice
Absorption is the recurring theme. Haven's developer inventory is gone, and Athlon's first two phases went in 48 hours. If you are buying into either, you are most likely buying a resale from a private seller at an asking price, on an inherited payment schedule, with an assignment to negotiate. That is a different transaction from a developer purchase and should be priced as one.
The payment structure reported across Aldar's Dubai releases is 5% at booking, 55% during construction and 40% at handover. A 40% handover tranche is large by Dubai standards, and with off-plan mortgages capped at 50% loan-to-value in the UAE, it wants planning rather than optimism.
Finally, check the cluster type before the cluster name persuades you. At Haven, Sanctuary and Serenity are villas while Falls, Ferns, Oasis and Glade are townhouses. At Athlon, villas and townhouses sit inside the same sub-communities at similar bedroom counts. Verdes by Haven and Rise by Athlon are apartments carrying community names.

Which Aldar clusters are actually villas
Cluster names carry no information about product type. This table does.
| Community | Villa clusters | Townhouse clusters | Apartment releases |
|---|---|---|---|
| Haven | Sanctuary, Serenity | Falls, Ferns, Oasis, Glade | Verdes by Haven |
| Athlon | Villas within the nine sub-communities | Townhouses within the same sub-communities | Rise by Athlon |
| The Wilds | Cassia, Ravenna, Moringa Mansions | Not published | The Wilds Residences |
Tranquility at Haven is named by Aldar but its product type is not confirmed, so it is not classified here.
Questions
Questions about Aldar villas
Who is Aldar?
Aldar Properties PJSC is an Abu Dhabi-based developer founded in 2004 and listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange under the ticker ALDAR, with Mubadala among its shareholders.
Which Aldar communities in Dubai have villas?
Three: Haven in Dubai Land Residence Complex, Athlon in Dubailand beside Global Village, and The Wilds. All three are developed through Aldar's joint venture with Dubai Holding.
Can I still buy an Aldar villa from the developer?
At The Wilds, yes. At Haven the developer inventory is sold out and at Athlon the first two phases sold out within 48 hours, so most availability in those two communities is resale.
What is the cheapest Aldar villa in Dubai?
Athlon carries the lowest community floor at AED 2.8 million, but that figure covers townhouse product. Haven villas have been reported from around AED 3.15 million and The Wilds starts at AED 5.1 million.
What payment plan does Aldar offer in Dubai?
The structure reported across its Dubai releases is 5% at booking, 55% during construction and 40% at handover. Confirm the schedule attached to your specific unit, particularly on a resale.
Does Aldar publish construction progress?
Not at project level, unlike Nakheel. Progress percentages circulating for Aldar projects come from broker aggregators rather than from the developer, so we do not publish them.
What is Aldar building next in Dubai?
Two plots announced in February 2026: roughly four million square metres near Nad Al Sheba launching in 2026, and about 250,000 square metres of GFA on Palm Jebel Ali launching in 2027, with a combined gross development value stated at over AED 38 billion.
Is Aldar the same as Dubai Holding?
No. They are separate companies that formed a joint venture in late 2023 through which Aldar develops in Dubai. Dubai Holding separately owns Meraas and Nakheel.
How much has Aldar sold in Dubai?
Cumulative sales through the Aldar and Dubai Holding joint venture were stated at AED 21.5 billion as at the February 2026 expansion announcement.
Are Aldar villas freehold?
They are marketed as freehold, but Aldar's own pages reviewed do not print the designation, so confirm tenure in the sale documents for the specific plot.
Methodology
How we verify project information
Prices, inventory, payment plans and handover dates can change. Confirm current developer or resale availability before making a purchase decision.
- Project names, developers and locations are taken from the developer's own published material.
- Prices, payment plans and handover dates are shown only where a developer or government source publishes them; market-sourced figures are marked indicative.
- Where a figure is not published anywhere we can cite, the page asks you to request it rather than estimating one.
- Pages are re-checked against source material on the review date shown beside each data set.

Compare the three Aldar communities properly
Two of the three are resale markets and one is not, and the cluster names do not tell you whether you are looking at a villa or a townhouse. Tell us your budget and bedroom count and we will map it across Haven, Athlon and The Wilds.
- Current developer availability, not stale listings
- Payment plans compared side by side
- No obligation
