Verdes by Haven

Verdes by Haven is the residential centrepiece of Aldar Properties' Haven masterplan in Dubailand — and the development that anchors Aldar's claim to have created Dubai's first wellness-inspired community. Designed by architectural firm OBMI around a core biophilic philosophy, Verdes holds dual sustainability credentials that are rare even among UAE's most ambitious projects: LEED certification and a Fitwel wellness rating — the same combination carried by Aldar's Athlon community in Dubai and independently verified benchmarks for environmental performance and occupant health. With over 30 embedded amenities, a Treehouse Café, on-site nursery, water streams running through the community, and access to the broader Haven masterplan facilities, Verdes is purpose-built around the idea that daily environment directly affects wellbeing.

Architecture & Design — Biophilic From the Ground Up

OBMI's architectural brief was explicit: create a restorative environment, not simply a residential one. The result is a building language defined by curved forms, natural materials, and a deep integration of water and greenery into the spatial experience — both within units and throughout the community's shared landscape. The development's aesthetic deliberately softens the hard geometry of typical Dubai residential architecture.

• Curved façades in warm, natural materials — a deliberate departure from angular high-rise typology

• Water streams and reflecting pools running through the community grounds

• Floor-to-ceiling windows with maximum natural light throughout all units

• Smart home systems with integrated environmental monitoring (air quality, health comfort)

• Seamless indoor-outdoor connection by design

• LEED certified + Fitwel wellness rated — dual independent certifications

Amenities — 30+ Wellness-Led Facilities

Verdes residents have access to amenities within the building cluster and the wider Haven masterplan community — the combined provision covers every dimension of the wellness lifestyle:

• Swimming pool + kids' pool

• Water streams winding through the community landscape

• Yoga pavilion & meditation pavilion

• Treehouse Café

• Spin room (indoor cycling studio)

• Jogging & cycling tracks

• Multi-sports court

• Multi-purpose room

• Co-working spaces

• On-site nursery

• Kids' pool & children's areas

• From the wider Haven masterplan: tranquility pool, zen gardens, nature trail, padel tennis court, exercise areas, school, mosque & retail hub

• On-demand services: childcare & travel concierge

Location — Wadi Al Safa 5, Dubailand

Haven by Aldar is situated in Wadi Al Safa 5, a sub-district of Dubailand positioned between Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E611) and Latifa Bint Hamdan Road (D54) — the same corridor as Athlon. The area offers a quieter, greener suburban setting while remaining within straightforward driving distance of central Dubai:

• Near Global Village, Arabian Ranches 3 & Academic City

• Near IMG Worlds of Adventure

• Direct access to E611 and D54

• Growing Dubailand infrastructure: schools, clinics, retail within the masterplan

Why Invest in Verdes by Haven

The wellness real estate segment is the fastest-growing buyer category globally, and Verdes by Haven is the only Aldar-branded, LEED+Fitwel dual-certified wellness community in Dubai designed specifically around that demand. The AED 1,439/sq.ft entry price for a 2-bedroom is significantly below comparable Aldar product in Abu Dhabi and below wellness-positioned projects in central Dubai — reflecting Dubailand's relative undervaluation against its improving infrastructure. Aldar's track record as the UAE's largest listed developer, combined with the masterplan's embedded school, nursery, retail, and concierge services, creates a community that can genuinely serve as a long-term primary residence rather than a secondary investment, broadening the buyer and tenant pool considerably.
