Verdes by Haven Dubai

The starting price at Verdes by Haven is AED 990,000 for a 1 bedroom apartment. This places Aldar Verdes by Haven among the lower entry points for new apartments in Dubailand that come with a full community masterplan. The payment plan is a 60/40 structure. Buyers pay 10 percent on booking, 50 percent in instalments during construction, and the final 40 percent on handover in Q2 2028. There is no post handover component, so the full amount is settled by possession.

Verdes is not a single tower. It is a cluster of 7 named buildings, each with its own character and unit mix. Buyers comparing availability usually move between these buildings rather than leaving the project.

The wider Haven community also has a villa and townhouse district for buyers who want ground level living inside the same wellness masterplan.

• Entry into a wellness masterplan at AED 990,000, with schools, retail, a hospital and sports zones planned inside the community
• Aldar Properties as the developer, with the full Haven masterplan delivered under 1 brand
• 2 bedroom duplexes up to 3,028 sq ft, a rare format at this price point in Dubailand
• 1 bedroom asking prices increased about 15 percent in the last 6 months, which supports early buyers
• Direct access to Emirates Road (E611) for citywide travel

• Possession is in Q2 2028, so end users have a wait, and the community around it is still under development
• There are no studios, which keeps the lowest ticket above AED 990,000
• 40 percent of the price is payable at handover, so the plan has no post handover breathing room
• Downtown Dubai and the airport are 26 to 28 minutes away, which is a real commute for office goer

For families, the distance to a good school decides the daily routine more than any amenity inside the project. A short school run saves 2 trips a day, keeps children out of highway traffic, and holds strong appeal for family tenants when the unit goes on rent. Verdes by Haven does well here. 4 schools near the project hold a Very Good or Outstanding government inspection rating, and the nearest one is under 1 km from the community.

GEMS FirstPoint School and Lycee Francais International Georges Pompidou both hold a Very Good rating. For younger children, nurseries near the community include Jumeirah International Nursery Villanova, Chubby Cheeks Dubailand and Emirates British Nursery The Villa. The Haven masterplan also includes its own schools and a day care centre, so education options grow further as the community completes.

Both projects are in the Wadi Al Safa 5 belt of Dubailand and both hand over in Q2 2028, which makes this a clean comparison for buyers shortlisting in this corridor. The 2 products solve different problems. Verdes is a 1,047 home community by Aldar built around wellness, open greens and family formats up to duplexes. Le Blanc by Imtiaz Developments is a single 255 unit tower in the Dubai Land Residence Complex with fully furnished homes, smart automation and a payment plan that continues after handover.

The choice comes down to purpose. An investor who wants the lowest ticket, a furnished unit that rents from day 1, and 30 percent of the price payable after keys should look at Le Blanc, which also projects gross rental yields of around 7.2 percent. A family buyer or a long hold investor who wants community scale, green open space, duplex options, and an Aldar branded masterplan should look at Verdes, where early price movement already shows demand for the wellness format.
