Overview

A low-rise LEOS community of three- to five-bedroom townhouses and six- and seven-bedroom villas inside Nakheel's Greenwood. Townhouses from AED 3.2 million and villas from AED 6.9 million, due in late 2027.

Kensington Gardens is a community of townhouses and villas by LEOS Developments in Greenwood, the master community Nakheel is building in the International City Phase 2 area. LEOS launched it in October 2024 as the first project announced inside Greenwood and put the value of the first phase at AED 1.1 billion. Property Finder records bookings and construction from June 2025.

The homes come in five sizes. LEOS gives three-bedroom townhouses of 2,720 to 2,766 sq ft, four-bedrooms of 3,089 to 3,151 sq ft and five-bedrooms of 3,665 to 3,726 sq ft, plus six-bedroom villas of 5,178 sq ft and seven-bedroom signature villas of 6,204 sq ft. LEOS quotes townhouses from AED 3.2 million and villas from AED 6.9 million. Property Finder fills in the rest: four-bedroom townhouses from AED 3.7 million, five-bedrooms from AED 4.39 million and seven-bedroom villas from AED 8.5 million. All homes have maid's quarters and outdoor space, and the villas add a private pool and lift.

The specification leans on technology and efficiency rather than shared facilities. LEOS lists smart home systems, solar water heating, rainwater harvesting, an insulated building envelope, a hydroponic vertical garden, EV charging and a 10-year waterproofing warranty. Its signature feature is a crystal chandelier at the centre of each home. The shared amenities come from the wider Greenwood masterplan, which Nakheel describes with a central park, lagoons, and jogging and cycling tracks.

Property Finder lists a payment plan of 60% during construction and 40% on handover; LEOS does not publish one on its project page. LEOS gave completion as the fourth quarter of 2027 when it launched; Property Finder shows September 2027.

Kensington Gardens suits families who want a large new house with a garden and are comfortable buying into a master community that is still being built. The risks are the ones that come with being first: the parks, schools and shops in Greenwood's plan are not yet open, there is no resale market to compare prices against, and no service charge has been published.

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 3-bedroom townhouse at Kensington GardensAED 3,200,000
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 128,000
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 3,329,020about £682K

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.
