A new green community of around 8,000 homes in Dubai Silicon Oasis, set among parks and tree-lined streets and connected to the Dubai Metro Blue Line. Homes from approx. AED 3M.
Greenwood by Aldar is one of the largest new communities planned for Dubai’s eastern side: around 8,000 homes across three phases in the Dubai Silicon Oasis area, from apartments to five-bedroom villas.
The masterplan is shaped around landscape. Neighbourhoods open onto parks and shaded walkways, streets are lined with trees, and cycling and running routes connect home to school, shops and the station. It follows the design approach of Aldar’s Athlon and Haven communities in Dubailand.
The range runs from apartments to Greenwood townhouses with three or four bedrooms and Greenwood villas with three, four or five bedrooms, including four-bedroom twin villas, so families can move up within the same community as their needs change.
Getting around is just as considered. Greenwood is linked to the new Dubai Metro Blue Line, putting Dubai Creek Harbour and the wider metro network within easy reach. Floor plans, the price list and the payment plan follow with the official launch, and registered enquirers receive each release first.

Pre-launch details are indicative and confirmed by Aldar with the official release.
Greenwood offers one of the widest product mixes of any new Dubai community. Here is how each home type is expected to live, and who it suits best.
The apartments are the most accessible way into Greenwood. Set within the community’s landscaped neighbourhoods, they give residents the same parks, walking routes and Blue Line connection as the villas, with the convenience of apartment living.
They suit young professionals working in Dubai Silicon Oasis, Academic City or Downtown, couples buying their first home, and investors targeting the area’s steady rental demand from students and tech-sector tenants.
Townhouses are the heart of most Aldar family communities, and Greenwood follows the same pattern. Expect multi-level homes arranged along quiet, tree-lined streets, each with private outdoor space and parking.
The three-bedroom layout is the natural step up from an apartment, while the four-bedroom townhouse adds the extra room a growing family, a home office or live-in help needs.
The detached villas trade shared walls for a private plot, with garden space that can take a terrace, outdoor dining or a pool. Starting prices for Greenwood are expected from around AED 3 million.
They are aimed at families who want villa space without moving to the city’s outer edges, keeping the metro, schools and main roads close at hand.
Twin villas pair two homes under one roofline. Each has its own entrance, garden and parking, while sharing a single wall with its neighbour.
The format gives four bedrooms of villa-sized living at a price that typically sits between a townhouse and a fully detached villa, which makes it one of the most popular choices with end-users.
At the top of the range, the five-bedroom villas are made for extended families, multi-generational living and entertaining, with the largest plots and the most generous living spaces in the community.
They are also the homes most likely to command premium resale and rental values over time, given how few large villas are available this close to the metro network.
Detailed floor plans, built-up areas, plot sizes and specifications are published by Aldar with each phase’s launch documents.
Registered enquirers receive the brochure, floor plans and price list for every phase as soon as they are released, along with the payment plan and anticipated handover date.

Reference photography illustrating the planned home types. None of it depicts Greenwood.
Greenwood is planned as a community where landscape comes first and the homes are arranged around it.
Rather than leaving open space to whatever is left over, the Greenwood masterplan places parks and gardens at the heart of each neighbourhood. Children can play within sight of home, and every street leads naturally to shade, lawns and somewhere to sit.
Tree-lined streets carry the green through the whole community, cooling the walk to school, the shops or the station and giving the neighbourhoods a mature, settled feel from the start.
The layout follows the approach Aldar has taken at Athlon and Haven in Dubailand: wellness and active living designed into the masterplan, rather than added as amenities afterwards.
Continuous walking and cycling routes are planned to link homes with parks, community facilities and retail, so that daily errands and weekend exercise can happen without the car.
For families it means safer streets and more time outside; for runners and cyclists, a ready-made network of shaded routes on the doorstep.
Community sports, play areas and open lawns sit alongside the homes, while retail and everyday services are planned within the community. Add the Blue Line, and Greenwood is designed for a life with less driving and more time outdoors.
Dubai Silicon Oasis is one of the city’s most established family districts, with schools, universities and green neighbourhoods already in place. The Dubai Metro Blue Line, scheduled to open in 2029, brings a direct rail link to Dubai Creek Harbour and the rest of the network.

The Blue Line is the largest addition to the Dubai Metro since the Route 2020 extension, and it runs straight through Dubai Silicon Oasis.
The Roads and Transport Authority’s Blue Line is a 30-kilometre route with 14 stations, around half of it underground. It is scheduled to open on 9 September 2029, the 20th anniversary of the Dubai Metro.
One branch starts at the Creek interchange on the Green Line and runs through Dubai Festival City, Dubai Creek Harbour and Ras Al Khor to International City, then on to Dubai Silicon Oasis and Academic City. A second branch connects Centrepoint on the Red Line with Mirdif and Al Warqa.
For Greenwood residents, that means a direct rail connection to Dubai Creek Harbour and interchanges with both the Red and Green lines, opening up Downtown Dubai, the airport, Business Bay and the rest of the network without a car.
Communities that gain a metro station tend to see stronger demand from tenants and buyers, which is one reason the eastern corridor around DSO has become one of Dubai’s most watched growth areas.
Dubai Silicon Oasis is a government-owned free zone and technology park that has grown into one of Dubai’s most complete family districts, with schools, universities, shopping and green neighbourhoods already in place.
DSO is home to GEMS Wellington Academy Silicon Oasis and the Rochester Institute of Technology Dubai campus, while neighbouring Dubai International Academic City hosts universities including Heriot-Watt, Middlesex and the University of Birmingham Dubai.
The DSO free zone hosts technology companies, start-ups and research centres, from the landmark DSO headquarters to Dubai Digital Park. Many residents can live and work within the same district.
Silicon Central Mall and Cedre Village serve the area day to day, with Mirdif City Centre, Dragon Mart in International City and Dubai Festival City Mall a short drive away for bigger shopping trips.
DSO’s own parks, lake and jogging tracks are complemented by Dubailand to the south, with Global Village, the Al Qudra cycle track and desert leisure all within easy reach of Greenwood.
Dubai Silicon Oasis sits between Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Al Ain Road (E66), with Emirates Road close by. Downtown Dubai, Dubai International Airport and Dubai Creek Harbour are all an easy drive.
Unlike many new launches on the city’s edge, Greenwood joins a district with years of infrastructure behind it, so residents benefit from schools, services and road links from the day they move in.
Aldar Properties is the UAE’s largest listed real estate developer and the master developer behind Yas Island and Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi.
In Dubai, Aldar has built a fast-growing portfolio of family communities in partnership with Dubai Holding, led by Haven by Aldar and Athlon by Aldar in Dubailand, both centred on wellness, landscape and active living.
Greenwood brings that approach to Dubai Silicon Oasis at a far larger scale. From the first Greenwood townhouses to the five-bedroom Greenwood villas, every home type is planned across three phases, making Greenwood Aldar’s most ambitious Dubai community to date.
Developer, location, transport and timing all point the same way at Greenwood.
As the UAE’s largest listed developer, Aldar brings a long history of delivery and strong resale performance at communities from Yas Island to Saadiyat. In Dubai, Haven and Athlon have established its name with family buyers.
With the Blue Line due to open in 2029, Greenwood buyers enter before the metro arrives. Proximity to a station is one of the most consistent drivers of rental demand and resale value in Dubai.
Dubai Silicon Oasis is a freehold area, so buyers of any nationality can own property outright, with title registered with the Dubai Land Department.
Under current UAE rules, property worth AED 2 million or more can qualify the owner for a 10-year Golden Visa. With homes expected from around AED 3 million, most Greenwood villas and townhouses sit above that threshold.
Students and faculty from Academic City, professionals from the DSO free zone and families drawn by the area’s schools create a broad and steady tenant base across every home type.
Large master-planned communities are usually priced most competitively at the first release. Registering now gives priority access to the first phase’s price list and unit selection.
Buying off-plan in Dubai follows a clear, regulated process. Here is what to expect from registration to handover.
Add your preferred home type and budget to the priority list. You receive the brochure, floor plans, price list and payment plan as soon as Aldar releases them.
Review the available units in the first phase, compare layouts and orientations, and select the home that suits you.
A booking payment secures the unit while the paperwork is prepared. Payments for off-plan property in Dubai are made into a regulated project escrow account.
The SPA sets out the unit, price, payment schedule and anticipated completion date. The sale is then registered with the Dubai Land Department under the Oqood off-plan register, with the standard 4% DLD registration fee.
Payments follow the schedule in the payment plan, typically linked to dates or construction milestones until handover.
On completion, the home is inspected, the final payment is made and the keys and title deed are issued.

Everything to know about Greenwood by Aldar ahead of the launch.
Greenwood by Aldar is a new master-planned community by Aldar Properties in the Dubai Silicon Oasis area of Dubai. Around 8,000 homes are planned across three phases, mixing apartments, Greenwood townhouses and Greenwood villas within a landscaped, green-community setting.
In the Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO) area on Dubai's eastern side, between Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Al Ain Road (E66). Dubai International Academic City, International City, Mirdif and Dubailand are all close by, with Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport an easy drive away.
Greenwood is developed by Aldar Properties, the UAE's largest listed real estate developer. Greenwood Aldar follows the company's Dubai family communities Haven by Aldar and Athlon by Aldar in Dubailand.
The planned mix covers apartments, 3 and 4 bedroom townhouses, 3 and 4 bedroom villas, 4 bedroom twin villas and 5 bedroom villas. Floor plans and sizes are issued with each phase's launch documents.
Prices at Greenwood are expected to start from around AED 3 million. This is an indicative pre-launch figure; the official price list for Greenwood villas, townhouses and apartments arrives with the launch, and registered enquirers receive it first.
Greenwood townhouses are planned in 3 and 4 bedroom layouts, set along tree-lined streets with private outdoor space. Built-up areas and floor plans are confirmed with the launch.
A villa stands on its own plot with no shared walls. A twin villa is one of a pair of semi-detached homes sharing a single wall, each with its own entrance, garden and parking. At Greenwood, twin villas are planned with 4 bedrooms; detached villas come with 3, 4 or 5.
Greenwood is connected to the Dubai Metro Blue Line, a 30 km, 14-station line with stations at Dubai Silicon Oasis and Academic City. It links to the Green Line at Creek and the Red Line at Centrepoint, and is scheduled to open on 9 September 2029.
Landscape leads the masterplan: parks at the heart of each neighbourhood, tree-lined streets, walking and cycling routes and open green space between the homes. The layout follows the approach of Aldar's Athlon and Haven communities in Dubailand.
Yes. Dubai Silicon Oasis is a freehold area, so buyers of any nationality can own property at Greenwood outright, with title registered with the Dubai Land Department.
Under current UAE rules, property worth AED 2 million or more can qualify the owner for a 10-year Golden Visa, subject to the authorities' criteria at the time of application. With prices expected from around AED 3 million, most Greenwood villas and townhouses sit above that threshold.
Both are confirmed at launch. Aldar publishes the payment schedule and completion date for each phase with its release, and registered enquirers receive them as soon as they are issued.
The main fee is the Dubai Land Department registration fee of 4% of the purchase price, paid when the sale is registered on the Oqood off-plan register. Payments to the developer go into a regulated project escrow account.
Greenwood combines an established developer, a mature family district, the arrival of the Blue Line and a broad tenant base from Academic City and the DSO free zone. As with any property, buyers should review the official launch documents before committing.
All three are Aldar family communities in Dubai built around landscape and wellbeing. Haven and Athlon are in Dubailand; Greenwood is in Dubai Silicon Oasis, is far larger at around 8,000 homes, and adds a direct connection to the Dubai Metro Blue Line.
