Projects in The Acres

Low Density, Long Horizons: New Villa Projects in The Acres

The Acres is a villa community within Dubai Land, developed entirely by Meraas Holding. With five projects listed across the community, including phases in The Acres (Phase 2) and The Acres (Phase 3), this is a concentrated market with a single master developer shaping the entire product offering. For buyers, that means consistency in planning and construction standards, but it also means limited scope to compare across competing developers or negotiate through competition.

Every project here is a villa, which tells you something clear about the intended resident: this is a community built for families, for buyers who want ground-floor living with private outdoor space, and for those who are specifically not looking for an apartment. There is no product diversity to speak of. The choice is not between villa and townhouse, apartment and penthouse. The choice is which phase and which price point.

What AED 9.9M Sits Between

Pricing runs from AED 5,090,000 at the lower end to AED 19,900,000 at the top, with a median of AED 9,900,000. That spread is substantial, nearly four times the floor price to reach the ceiling, and it reflects the range of villa sizes and configurations across the phases rather than any variation in product type or developer quality. A buyer entering at the median is already committing close to AED 10M, which places this firmly in the upper segment of Dubai's villa market. The entry point at AED 5.09M is the most accessible position available here, and even that is not a budget purchase.

The minimum down payment is 5%, which is a low entry requirement relative to what most off-plan projects in this price bracket demand. That keeps the initial capital commitment manageable even at higher price points.

Handover Is Late 2027 into Mid-2028

The earliest completion date in the community is November 2027, with the latest reaching August 2028. Buyers entering now are looking at a two-to-three year off-plan hold before handover. None of the five projects carry post-handover payment plans, so buyers should expect to complete their payments in full by the time keys are handed over.

The amenity profile includes an infinity pool, indoor swimming pool, beach access, landscaped gardens, gymnasium, and children's play area. That combination, particularly beach access within a land-based villa community, points to a resort-influenced design intent. The target resident is someone who wants low-rise living with leisure infrastructure built in, rather than proximity to urban commercial centres.
