The Wilds by Aldar – Forest Villas & Moringa Mansions, Dubailand
Aldar's forest-luxury master plan opposite Global Village — ~1,700 homes beside Al Barari, from Cassia and Ravenna villas to the 38 architect-designed Moringa mansions. Phase-1 villas sold out for AED 5bn in two weeks; mansions and Residences apartments remain at the developer. Handover 2029.
The Wilds — Aldar's Forest-Luxury Third Act
The Wilds is Aldar's third Dubai community and its most ambitious: a nature-led master plan in Wadi Al Safa 3, opposite Global Village and beside Al Barari. The mix runs from Cassia and Ravenna villas to 38 Moringa mansions by architect Nabil Gholam and the 740-home Wilds Residences. The market's verdict came fast — 734 Phase-1 villas sold out for AED 5 billion within two weeks of the February 2025 launch, 92% to international buyers. It is the first UAE community with both LEED Platinum and Fitwel 3-Star already awarded.
Aldar Properties
Aldar is Abu Dhabi's largest listed developer. The Wilds is its third Dubai community — after Haven and Athlon both sold out — and its statement piece: forest luxury beside Al Barari. The trilogy tells the story: Haven sold out in days, Athlon in 48 hours, and The Wilds' first 734 villas in two weeks for AED 5 billion — with India, China and the UK the top buyer markets.
What remains at the developer is the top of the pyramid: eight Moringa mansions (five 5-bedroom at AED 38.6–39.7M, three 6-bedroom at AED 50.6–53.5M, live-priced on Aldar's own inventory) and the final Wilds Residences apartments from AED 1.79M. The sold-out villa tiers trade on an early resale market.

The Wilds
Forest luxury beside Al Barari — Aldar's fastest sell-out yet.
The Wilds compresses the whole Dubailand story into one launch: an AED 5bn villa sell-out in two weeks, mansion architecture by Nabil Gholam, and the UAE's first double-certified sustainable community — LEED Platinum and Fitwel 3-Star, awarded, not promised.
AED 5bn in Two Weeks
734 Phase-1 villas sold out within two weeks of the February 2025 launch — 92% to international buyers, the fastest of Aldar's three Dubai sell-outs.
Beside Al Barari
The Wilds borders Dubai's most exclusive green district — Al Barari's villas trade at 3,300+ per sqft, framing the corridor's ceiling.
Moringa Mansions
Thirty-eight mansions by architect Nabil Gholam, 15,184–19,420 sqft, with eight still live at the developer from AED 38.6M.
Certified, Not Promised
The first UAE community holding BOTH LEED Platinum and Fitwel 3-Star — awarded certifications, with the running-cost benefits that follow.
The Residences
740 apartments and duplexes across six mid-rise buildings from AED 1.79M — the community's rental engine and entry door, launched March 2026.
The 2029 Horizon
Construction is under way toward a 2029 handover — the longest runway of the belt's new wave, priced accordingly on the early resale market.

Phase-1 villas sold on Aldar's 65/35 construction-linked schedule below (resale buyers typically take over these plans); Moringa mansions follow the same 65/35 split with a 10% down payment. Plus the standard 4% DLD fee.
Why The Wilds is a Smart Dubailand Investment
For Growth
A two-week AED 5bn sell-out set the basis; the resale market now prices the sold-out villa tiers, while Aldar's live inventory anchors the top end at AED 38.6–53.5M for Moringa. Beside Al Barari's 3,300+/sqft benchmark, The Wilds' villa basis of ~1,700/sqft at launch leaves a documented corridor gap.
For the Long Hold
Double-certified sustainability (LEED Platinum + Fitwel awarded), architect-designed mansion scarcity (38 units), and a 740-apartment rental engine inside the plan — a complete ecosystem with Aldar delivery, maturing into a 2029 handover.
