Meraas, a member of Dubai Holding Real Estate, has announced the launch of more than 200 new homes at its exclusive standalone villa community at The Acres in Dubai.

The latest release caters to the strong demand for nature-inspired and eco-conscious living, following the sell-out of more than half the community in the initial release, the developer said.

The Acres, a tranquil and luxurious residential development nestled in the heart of Dubailand, is an exclusive neighbourhood that seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor spaces, offering a lifestyle entwined with nature.

Comprising 1,200 contemporary designed three to seven-bedroom villas set amidst serene gardens and azure lagoons, the bespoke homes boast open-plan layouts with double-height living spaces

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 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions per capita, compared to the national average. The Acres is designed to use 33 per cent less water than the UAE average and meet 100 per cent of irrigation demand through treated wastewater. In addition, water-saving fixtures, efficient irrigation systems and low water plants.

The Acres’ community boasts a strong social infrastructure as the Halo Park connects the neighbourhood to create a people-centric environment with vast open, green spaces. Amenities at the development include a nursery, school, clinic, mosques, clubhouses and retail area as well as a 2,000 sq m Edible Garden.
