Abu Dhabi, UAE, 19 February 2025: Aldar today announced the launch of The Wilds, its third development in Dubai as part of a joint venture with Dubai Holding. Intertwining exceptional residences with pristine natural surroundings, The Wilds will redefine what it means to live in harmony with nature, offering families and young explorers a tranquil oasis surrounded by greenery and wildlife.

A first of its kind in Dubai, The Wilds is designed to let nature thrive, hosting the largest and most diverse collection of wildlife within a residential community in the emirate. It will stand out for its safe integration and retention of a large variety of species, alongside an incredible selection of native plants within a woodland sanctuary. Pond, lawn, and dry stream habitats will further enrich the landscape with duck houses seamlessly blending into water streams. Manmade bird nests and bee-keeping zones will also be dotted throughout the community.

Commenting on the new development, Jonathan Emery, Chief Executive Officer of Aldar Development, said, “We are extremely excited to introduce The Wilds, our third residential community in Dubai and one that will become the most sought-after green development in the emirate. A design masterpiece inspired by Mother Nature, The Wilds is a place where people and nature will live and grow together, where children are encouraged to be curious in an environment that will not only nurture their health, well-being and development, but also help them understand their responsibility to protect the environment for future generations.”

A striking architectural feature of the development is The Nest, a signature community pavilion that connects perfectly with the natural environment, serving as a visual landmark and gathering space for residents. For the youngest residents, The Nest will house a curiosity area dedicated to wildlife observation and environmental learning.

Located along the Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road opposite Global Village, The Wilds is set within one of Dubai’s most up-and-coming affluent areas. Featuring almost 1,700 homes, including five- and six-bedroom mansions designed by world renowned Lebanese architect, Nabil Gholam, three- to five-bedroom villas and one- to three-bedroom apartments, every home is surrounded by eco corridors and green spaces that provide privacy within nature.

A premium international branded school will be a cornerstone of the community, featuring an innovative campus with outdoor learning spaces and eco-focused facilities that complement the community's commitment to environmental education and sustainability. Residents’ daily needs will be served by a retail hub at the community entrance, along with vibrant clubhouses, a nursery, a clinic, and two mosques.

The family-centric community will be a living classroom for children with incidental play areas, interactive splash pads, and shallow streams encouraging curiosity and exploration within nature. With inclusivity at its core, the community will offer adaptive play areas for people of determination, complete with musical flowers, sensory retreats, and specialised playground equipment.

Adventure seekers and athletes will enjoy state-of-the-art fitness zones, exercise decks, as well as tennis, padel, and basketball courts. For those seeking relaxation, the development will feature shaded wellness pavilions, meditation spaces, resort-style swimming pools, and cocoon hammocks. Walking and cycling trails will weave through the master plan, inviting residents to explore and unwind in natural surroundings.

The Wilds is also the first community in the UAE to achieve the highest accreditation in both LEED and Fitwell, the most globally recognised sustainability and wellness certifications. The community received LEED Platinum and Fitwel 3-stars, reaffirming Aldar’s commitment to sustainable living and innovative building practices.

The launch follows the remarkable success of Aldar’s Haven and Athlon developments, both in partnership with Dubai Holding, which saw unprecedented demand with all units sold within hours of release, demonstrating the strong appetite for wellness and active living focused communities in Dubai.

The Wilds will launch for sale on 27 February 2025 at the Coca-Cola Arena Dubai. Following the launch, interested buyers can visit Aldar's Sales Centre at Aldar Square or the Aldar Sales Centre in Dubai, next to Kite Beach on Jumeirah Beach Road.
