Overview

Apartments inside Aldar's The Wilds villa community in Dubailand, due in Q2 2030. Aldar listed only three developer units on 13 November 2026, from AED 1.79 million.

The Wilds Residences is the apartment part of The Wilds, the villa community Aldar is building in Dubailand among native planting and wildlife habitat. Aldar describes about 740 one- to three-bedroom apartments and duplexes, while its summary panel gives 747 units in total. Sizes start at 798 sq ft, and the upper figure Aldar gives, 15,607 sq ft, includes retail space. Completion is due in the second quarter of 2030.

The building facilities are long and family-oriented: an infinity pool, a splash pad and play areas, a kids' lounge, a teens' lounge and a family lounge, an art studio and a theatre, a spa, a yoga and pilates room, a multipurpose studio, a co-working space and a brewing lounge. That mix makes more sense for households with children than for a single investor chasing yield.

Very little is left. Aldar's listing card shows a starting price of AED 1,473,100, but on 13 November 2026 its unit listing had just three developer units, marked as limited: two one-bedroom apartments of 867 to 1,028 sq ft at AED 1.79 million to AED 1.9 million, and one two-bedroom apartment of 1,547 sq ft at AED 3,353,579. No three-bedroom apartments or duplexes were listed.

We have not listed a payment plan. Property Finder's pages carrying The Wilds Residences name, The Wilds Phase 2 and The Wilds 3, show villa prices from AED 5.6 million, a 10/55/35 plan and completion in 2029, so they do not appear to describe these apartments. Ask Aldar for the terms on the remaining units before you commit, and in particular how much falls due at handover.

The Residences suit a buyer who wants a new apartment in a green, low-density villa community, with family facilities in the building itself, and who can wait until mid-2030. The points to weigh: there are only three developer units to choose from; completion is more than three years away; the payment terms are not published; service charges are not yet known; and Aldar sells most of its UAE homes to overseas and expatriate buyers, so expect many of the 740 or so flats to reach the rental market at the same time.

Buying costs

Government fees are paid on top of the purchase price. This is the position for the entry-level home; costs scale with price. In Dubai the registration authority is the DLD.

Purchase priceEntry 1-bedroom apartment at The Wilds ResidencesAED 1,787,990

DLD transfer fee (4%)Paid to the Dubai Land Department on registration. The department lists it as 2% from each party, but contracts almost always pass the full 4% to the buyer, so a developer's '50% DLD waiver' means the developer is paying its own listed half. Off-plan, it is paid when the sale is registered in the Oqood system.AED 71,520

Oqood registration admin feeOqood portal fee of AED 1,000 plus knowledge and innovation fees, for registering the off-plan sale contract.AED 1,020

Estimated total to completeAED 1,860,530about £381K

Developers may add their own administration charge on off-plan sales. It is set by the developer, not the land department, so it is not included in this estimate: ask for it in writing before you reserve. Adjust the assumptions in the buying cost calculator.
