Aldar Properties (Aldar) today unveiled Athlon, a first-of-its-kind "active living" community in Dubai.
Featuring world-class amenities, as well as a dynamic programme of activities exclusively curated by wellness experts, the development redefines fitness-focused living, with the goal of ensuring long-term wellbeing and a profound sense of community for all residents.
Developed in partnership with Dubai Holding, a diversified global investment company with investments in 31 countries, Athlon represents the joint venture’s second groundbreaking residential project in Dubai, building upon the resounding success of Haven by Aldar, launched in late 2023.
Jonathan Emery, Chief Executive Officer of Aldar Development, said,
“The unveiling of Athlon marks a definitive moment in our ambitious Dubai expansion strategy, building upon the tremendous success of Haven by Aldar. As we witness an unwavering demand for unparalleled residential developments in Dubai, from both local and international investors, we are confident that Athlon's groundbreaking concept will captivate a diverse range of investors and homeowners, setting a new standard for active living in the region."
Located near Global Village, Athlon is a luxurious development with lush green spaces merging athletic areas with parks. Named after the Greek word for 'place of contest,' it features a central park and four additional themed parks, along with seven clubhouses. Offering over 10 kilometers of tracks and trails, residents can enjoy activities like jogging, cycling, and roller-skating.
With a focus on wellness, Athlon provides amenities such as a café, massage rooms, jacuzzi, sauna, gym, and kids' playroom. The residences include townhouses and villas designed for natural light and well-being. Aldar prioritizes sustainability in Athlon's development, aiming for efficient and low-carbon design.
The development has achieved LEED Platinum pre-certification, incorporating features, such as energy-efficient and water-saving fixtures, electric vehicle charging facilities, smart waste disposal systems, and convenient access to public transportation. Athlon has also achieved a 2-star rating from Fitwel - the world’s leading certification system committed to building health for all - further enhancing the community’s social value by promoting health, wellbeing, and active lifestyles.
Sales of units at the first phase of the development will launch on 7th May with prices starting from AED2.8 million.
