Abu Dhabi, UAE: Aldar has introduced The Wilds, its third residential venture in Dubai, in collaboration with Dubai Holding. Designed to seamlessly blend luxurious living with pristine nature, The Wilds sets a new benchmark for harmonious living, offering a lush retreat where families and nature enthusiasts can thrive.
As the first development of its kind in Dubai, The Wilds is crafted to support biodiversity, featuring the most diverse wildlife collection in any residential community within the emirate. The development will incorporate a unique ecosystem with a variety of species, complemented by native plant life in a tranquil woodland setting. Landscaped ponds, verdant lawns, and dry stream habitats will enhance the environment, with duck houses harmoniously integrated into water features. Manmade bird nests and designated bee-keeping areas will also be placed throughout the community.
Jonathan Emery, Chief Executive Officer of Aldar Development, commented on the project: “We are proud to unveil The Wilds, our latest residential community in Dubai, which is set to become the most sought-after green development in the region. Inspired by nature, this masterfully designed community is a place where residents will coexist with their surroundings. It fosters curiosity among children and promotes health, well-being, and environmental awareness for future generations.”
A key architectural feature of the development is The Nest, a distinctive community hub that seamlessly integrates with the surrounding landscape. As a focal point for residents, it serves as a visual landmark and communal gathering space. The Nest also includes a dedicated wildlife observation and environmental learning area for younger residents, nurturing their appreciation for nature.
Strategically positioned along Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, opposite Global Village, The Wilds is set within one of Dubai’s rapidly evolving upscale neighborhoods. Comprising nearly 1,700 homes, the community offers five- and six-bedroom mansions crafted by world-renowned Lebanese architect Nabil Gholam, alongside three- to five-bedroom villas and one- to three-bedroom apartments. Each residence is enveloped by eco-corridors and lush green spaces, ensuring privacy and tranquility.
A premium international school will be a central element of the community, featuring an innovative campus with outdoor classrooms and environmentally conscious facilities, reinforcing the project’s commitment to sustainability and education. Additionally, a retail hub at the community entrance, vibrant clubhouses, a nursery, a clinic, and two mosques will cater to residents’ everyday needs.
Designed with families in mind, The Wilds will serve as a dynamic learning space for children, offering interactive play zones, shallow streams, and splash pads that spark curiosity and exploration. The community is also inclusive, providing adaptive play areas equipped with sensory retreats, musical installations, and specialized playground equipment for people of determination.
For fitness and adventure enthusiasts, The Wilds features cutting-edge fitness zones, exercise platforms, tennis, padel, and basketball courts. Those seeking relaxation will find shaded wellness pavilions, meditation spaces, resort-style pools, and cocoon hammocks. An extensive network of walking and cycling trails invites residents to explore the lush surroundings at their leisure.
Setting a new benchmark in sustainable living, The Wilds is the first UAE community to receive both LEED Platinum and Fitwel 3-star ratings, demonstrating Aldar’s dedication to eco-friendly development and innovative construction methods.
This launch follows the immense success of Aldar’s Haven and Athlon communities, both developed in partnership with Dubai Holding. These projects experienced overwhelming demand, selling out within hours, further proving the high interest in wellness-centric and environmentally friendly communities in Dubai.
The Wilds will be officially available for purchase on 27 February 2025 at the Coca-Cola Arena, Dubai. Following the event, potential buyers can visit Aldar’s Sales Centre at Aldar Square or the Aldar Sales Centre in Dubai, located near Kite Beach on Jumeirah Beach Road.
