Dubai Properties has awarded the Dubai Properties Villanova contract valued at nearly AED 1.1 billion (around $300 million) to expand its residential community in Dubailand, marking a new phase of development in one of the emirate’s established suburban projects.
The $300 million Villanova contract has been awarded to Metac General Contracting Co. LLC for the construction of 850 townhouses, the developer confirmed in an official statement.
Project scope and development details
The contract covers Phase 1 and Phase 2 of La Tilia, a new cluster within the Villanova master development. The project will include 500 three-bedroom and 350 four-bedroom townhouses.
Phase 1 is expected to deliver 410 units, while Phase 2 will add another 440 homes, taking the total to 850 units under the awarded scope. Villanova, located in Dubailand, has already delivered more than 3,800 homes since its launch, positioning it as a key mid-market and upper mid-market residential community in Dubai.
Demand for family-focused housing
The Dubai Properties Villanova contract reflects continued demand for family-oriented housing in Dubai, particularly within integrated communities offering connectivity and amenities.
According to Dubai Holding Real Estate, the expansion aligns with sustained buyer interest in suburban developments that provide green spaces, retail access, and proximity to major road networks. The $300 million Villanova contract is part of ongoing efforts by Dubai Properties to expand its residential portfolio in line with market demand, while maintaining construction timelines and delivery standards.
Strategic expansion in Dubailand
The Dubai Properties Villanova contract supports the next phase of growth in Dubailand, a key residential zone in the emirate. The La Tilia development will follow the community’s established design approach, with landscaped areas, pedestrian-friendly layouts, and integrated facilities.
Dubai Properties, part of Dubai Holding Real Estate, continues to advance large-scale housing developments as demand for mid-market homes remains steady across the emirate.
