Meraas has announced the launch of more than 200 new homes at its standalone villa community, The Acres, in Dubai. With more than half the community sold in the initial release, the latest launch will continue to supply the strong demand for landscaped developments, where there is a clear focus on quality of lifestyle and proximity to nature, the developer said.
The Acres is in a tranquil setting, nestled in the heart of Dubailand; it comprises 1,200 contemporary-designed three to seven-bedroom villas, with the bespoke homes featuring open plan layouts with double-height living spaces. Panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows let in natural sunlight, while every home also features expansive rear gardens and dedicated outdoor rooms.
The Acres’ new release involves more than 200 additional units of three-, four- and five-bedroom villas.
Khalid Al Malik, Chief Executive Officer, Dubai Holding Real Estate said: “The overwhelming response to The Acres’ first release is a testament to our vision of creating vibrant, community-focused destinations that nurture a sense of belonging and well-being. The new launch builds on this momentum as we expand our unique offerings with innovative spaces that foster a connection with nature and set a new standard for refined living in Dubai. The latest release will continue to prioritise energy efficiency and water conservation, reinforcing our environmental stewardship and unwavering commitment to sustainability.”
Meraas is committed to achieving LEED Community certification for The Acres and the community is designed with this aspiration in mind. With well-insulated buildings, smart controls, high efficiency systems and lighting, The Acres aims to achieve an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions per capita, compared to the national average.
The Acres is designed to use 33% less water than the UAE average and meet 100% of irrigation demand through treated wastewater. In addition, water saving fixtures, efficient irrigation systems and low water plants ensure that the residents are also part of the sustainability journey.
