Verdes by Haven

Verdes by Haven is an apartment and duplex development in Haven, the community Aldar launched in Dubai with Dubai Holding. Property Finder places Haven in the centre of Dubailand, near Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, and records Verdes going on sale in February 2025. Aldar plans 988 homes, one- to three-bedroom apartments and duplexes of 797 to 3,029 sq ft, in landscaped grounds with a stream running through the community, and gives completion as the third quarter of 2028.

The facilities Aldar names are a beach club, a swimming pool, a gym, a private cinema, meeting rooms, a dog park and a mosque. The list is shorter than at Aldar's Athlon community, and the appeal here is the green setting rather than sport.

Aldar's listing card still shows AED 990,000, the one-bedroom launch price that Property Finder also gives. On 13 November 2026 Aldar's unit listing had no one-bedroom apartments of its own; the only one on its site was an owner resale at about AED 1.45 million. Developer stock was one two-bedroom apartment of 1,599 sq ft at AED 2,344,823, eight three-bedroom apartments of 1,830 to 2,115 sq ft from AED 2.71 million to AED 2.89 million, and 11 two-bedroom duplexes of 2,239 to 3,028 sq ft from AED 3.04 million to AED 4.12 million. The duplexes cost more than the three-bedroom apartments because they are considerably larger.

Property Finder lists two plans. Verdes by Haven and Verdes by Haven 2 show 10% at launch, 50% during construction and 40% on handover. The Teal building shows 5% at launch, 55% during construction in seven instalments and 40% on handover. Ask Aldar which plan applies to the unit you choose. Under the 10/50/40 plan, the handover payment on the AED 2.34 million two-bedroom apartment would be about AED 938,000.

Dates differ between sources. Aldar gives the third quarter of 2028. Property Finder lists May 2028 for Verdes, June 2028 for Verdes 2 and December 2029 for Teal, and marks its first Verdes listing as sold out even though Aldar still listed 20 developer units. Treat the date in your sale agreement as the one that counts.

Verdes suits an owner-occupier or a family that wants a larger apartment or a duplex in a planted setting, with handover expected in 2028. Against that, the cheapest way in, the one-bedroom flat, is no longer offered by the developer; 40% falls due at handover; Aldar sells most of its UAE homes to overseas and expatriate buyers, so many neighbours will be tenants; service charges are not yet published; and the location is car-based, with Property Finder giving about 28 minutes to Dubai International Airport.
