The Acres Estates Phase 3: Villa Living in Dubai Land by Meraas
The Acres Estates Phase 3 is a villa-only development by Meraas Holding, located within The Acres master plan in Dubai Land. Construction started in November 2024. Handover is scheduled for November 2027, which means buyers entering now are committing to a fully off-plan purchase.
The development sits in a district that trades city-centre proximity for space.
What Dubai Land Means for Day-to-Day Life
Dubai Land occupies the southeastern part of the city, roughly between older central Dubai and the Al Maktoum Airport and Expo corridor to the southwest. Emirates Road (E611) is the main connection in and out. Downtown Dubai is around 30 to 35 minutes in normal traffic; Dubai Marina runs closer to 40 minutes depending on conditions.
That commute is the honest trade-off for this location. The district offers large plots, lower-density neighbourhoods, and the room for master-planned communities at a scale the more central areas of the city cannot accommodate. Over the past decade, schools, retail, and road infrastructure have progressively filled in across Dubai Land, and the area now functions as a more complete residential destination than it was a few years ago.
For end-users, the commute distance is the central variable to weigh against the villa size and community infrastructure. For buyers approaching this from an investment perspective, Dubai Land is an established residential corridor with growing infrastructure density.
Five, Six, and Seven Bedrooms from AED 6.1 Million
The project offers villas in three configurations: 5-bedroom, 6-bedroom, and 7-bedroom, all under the Type A layout. The 5-bedroom starts at AED 6,100,000.
The 5-bedroom suits a family that wants a full bedroom for live-in domestic staff alongside the main household rooms. The 6-bedroom adds one meaningful room, which buyers at this scale typically use for a home office, a dedicated guest suite, or a flex space for older children. The 7-bedroom is for large multi-generational households, or buyers who want each adult in the home to have genuinely private space.
Nine Amenities, One Standout
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Water | Infinity Pool, Indoor Swimming Pool, Beach Access |
| Fitness | Health Club, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor & Active | Landscaped Gardens, Cycle Track |
| Daily Life | Restaurants, Children's Play Area |
Beach access in an inland Dubai Land project is not standard. The Acres is a landlocked community by geography, and this amenity gives residents a coastal option without requiring a trip to one of Dubai's waterfront districts.
The dual-pool setup covers two distinct use cases. An infinity pool works for evenings and weekends; an indoor pool provides consistent lap swimming through the summer months when outdoor pools become too warm for exercise. The health club and gymnasium listed as separate facilities, rather than a single combined room, suggests a more complete fitness setup than a single multipurpose room would allow. The cycle track is practical in a community of this size.
On-site restaurants reduce the need for daily drives. The children's play area signals a development aimed squarely at families rather than buyers focused on short-term rentals.
Completion in November 2027
Construction began in November 2024. Handover is targeted for November 2027, three years from the start of building.
Buyers coming in now are entering during the early construction phase. The November 2027 delivery date gives residents who are not yet ready to vacate their current home a clear planning horizon. For investors, it means approximately three years before the asset becomes available for occupancy or leasing.
