The Acres Phase 3: Meraas Villas in Dubai Land at AED 6.5 Million
Meraas Holding is the developer behind The Acres Phase 3, a villa community within the larger The Acres master plan in Dubai Land. This is the third phase of a development Meraas has been building out across this location. Phase 3 launched for booking in November 2024, construction broke ground the same month, and handover is targeted for November 2027.
What Dubai Land Means for Daily Life
Dubai Land sits inland, roughly southeast of central Dubai. There is no metro coverage in the immediate area. Emirates Road provides the main vehicular link, connecting the district to the broader city road network. The drive to Downtown Dubai or Business Bay runs around 20 to 30 minutes in normal traffic. Dubai International Airport is also reachable via the same road corridor.
The character of Dubai Land is defined by space. The district is built for large-format residential communities. Villa developments with private land, gardens, and on-site facilities are the standard product type here. Buyers choosing Dubai Land are typically prioritizing space and a quieter residential environment over proximity to the urban core. The commute is the trade-off. The home size and community setting are the reward.
Three Bedroom Options from AED 6.5 Million
Phase 3 offers 3-bedroom, 4-bedroom, and 5-bedroom villas, all under the Type A layout. The current published price is AED 6,500,000, which corresponds to the 3-bedroom option. Buyers looking at the 4- or 5-bedroom configurations will find a larger footprint under the same layout series, with pricing that reflects the additional space.
Getting In for 10%
| Stage | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 55% |
| Handover | 35% |
AED 650,000 secures a position in Phase 3. That is the 10% down payment on the AED 6.5M starting price.
The construction phase carries the majority of the payment load. 55% of the total purchase price is called as construction progresses, running from late 2024 through to the November 2027 handover date. The remaining 35% is due at handover. The full price is settled at the point of key collection.
Facilities Built for Long-Term Living
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Wellness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Lifestyle | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
The indoor swimming pool is the practical standout. An enclosed facility is usable year-round, including during Dubai's summer months when outdoor swimming becomes impractical. For a household that uses the pool regularly, that is a day-to-day benefit worth counting.
The gymnasium and landscaped gardens extend the on-site options. On-site restaurants reduce the need to drive for everyday meals. CCTV security covers baseline safety expectations. Taken together, the amenity profile is aimed at families with children who plan to live here long-term. This is a set built for residents, not for short-term tenants.
Three Years to Completion
Construction started in November 2024. Handover is expected in November 2027. The build window is three years, appropriate for a villa community at this scale.
Off-plan buyers entering now are roughly 18 months from handover. The 10% entry point limits the initial outlay. The remaining 90% of the purchase price is split across the construction period and the handover date, with the construction-phase payments running through the full build window before the balance falls due.
