The Acres Phase 3 — off-plan villas in Dubailand

• Developer — Meraas (portal card: Meraas Holding; press under Dubai Holding Real Estate) (high) ^{[1] [4]}
• Market labels — The Acres Phase 3 / The Acres (Phase 3) on portals; final phase of The Acres in official press (high) ^{[1] [4] [5]}
• Master place — The Acres, Dubailand (high) ^{[2] [3]}
• Phase 3 portal stock — freehold villas, beds 3 / 4 / 5 (high; freehold med) ^{[4] [1]}
• Launched with this wave — The Acres Estates Amber + Ivory (5–7BR); treat as a different collection on paper (high) ^{[1] [2]}
• Estates plot range (sibling only) — 9,000–17,700 sq ft (high — Estates news, not 3–5BR villa sizes) ^[1]
• Public “from” price — Propsearch ~AED 5.5M vs Property Finder ~AED 6.5M (low — conflict) ^{[5] [4]}
• Public keys — PF November / Q4 2027; Propsearch February 2028 (med — conflict) ^{[4] [5]}
• Public payment chip — 10% / 55% / 35% on PF and Propsearch (med) ^{[4] [5]}
• Portal programme — booking 19 Nov 2024; construction stamp 20 Nov 2024 (med) ^[4]
• Count — Propsearch ~275 estimate only — not an official Phase 3 PDF (low)

Gaps we leave empty: Phase 3 villa sqft ladder, RERA number, independent progress photos.

The Acres is a standalone villa masterplan — gardens, swimmable lagoons, Halo Loop Park — not apartment towers. ^[2] Meraas’s final-phase press describes 3–5BR homes with courtyard light, indoor-outdoor rooms and landscape views, plus the larger Estates line. ^[1] The official microsite splits the same story into The Acres Villas (newest 3–5BR release) and The Acres Estates (Amber / Ivory). ^{[2] [3]}

Property Finder’s Phase 3 project card lists villa types for 3, 4 and 5 beds; layout sizes remain “coming soon.” ^[4] Propsearch’s Phase 3 sub-community note also mentions 6–7BR homes — that usually tracks Estates, so keep the collection name on the form, not only “Phase 3.” ^{[5] [1]}

Price filter only: public openers disagree (~5.5M vs ~6.5M AED). ^{[5] [4]} Ask for a dated unit quote that prints plot, built-up area and beds.

Related labels to keep apart:

• The Acres — parent community research page
• Phase 2 and any Estates Phase 3 portal twin — other release tags
• Estates Amber / Ivory — larger plots (9,000–17,700 sq ft in the final-phase press) ^[1]

Visit first and pick the collection and bedroom count you want. Only then open the reservation pack and sale contract and confirm they already print that exact product string and unit ID.

Lagoons, themed gardens, school, clubhouse and LEED Gold pre-certification are master marketing. Your rights sit in the exhibits attached to your pack. ^{[2] [1] [4]}

Keys on public cards: Property Finder prints November 2027, Q4 2027 and expected completion 19 November 2027. ^[4] Propsearch prints February 2028. ^[5] Those are not the same quarter. Treat both as marketing targets; the sale contract and written handover notice decide.

Cash-flow chip: PF and Propsearch both show 10% at sales launch, 55% during construction and 35% on handover (PF adds nine construction steps). ^{[4] [5]} Other Acres waves sometimes used a 65/35 or 5% booking story — do not import those into this phase without the printed table for your villa.

PF programme stamps: sale start 19 November 2024, construction 20 November 2024. ^[4] Official final-phase press is 14 March 2025. ^[1] A separate April 2026 Meraas note awards construction contracts for later “new phases” (371 + 186 homes); we do not treat that count as this Phase 3 inventory. ^[6]

Developer: Meraas. Final-phase press places Meraas inside Dubai Holding Real Estate. ^[1] Confirm the seller line on the sale contract matches the reservation form.

Location: Dubailand, master community The Acres. Official copy cites Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street and Emirates Road, roughly 10 minutes to Global Village and 5 minutes to Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club / Hamdan Sports Complex (marketing drive times only). ^{[1] [2] [3]}

Shortlist Phase 3 + collection + beds, not a vague “Acres house in Dubai Land.” Parent research: The Acres.

1. Wrong collection on the form — villas and Estates launched in the same final-phase window; names must already match the home you chose. ^[1]
2. Keys conflict — Nov/Q4 2027 (PF) versus Feb 2028 (Propsearch). ^{[4] [5]}
3. Open price conflict — ~AED 5.5M vs ~AED 6.5M; sizes still blank on PF. ^{[5] [4]}
4. Thin unit count — Propsearch ~275 only; later “new phase” contract tallies are a different programme. ^{[5] [6]}
5. Payment chip mix-up across waves — 10/55/35 is the dual portal stamp for this Phase 3 card; older Acres sheets may differ. ^[4]
6. Amenity brochure risk — lagoons and parks bind only if your plot pack attaches them. ^[2]

1. Use Dubai Land Department tools to confirm registration and escrow for the named product before any booking fee moves.
2. Decide Phase 3 villa vs Estates (and beds) after the visit. Read the reservation pack and sale contract: product name, unit ID, area and parking must already match what you chose — you do not rewrite Meraas’s template. ^{[1] [4]}
3. Photograph the reservation seller entity and compare it to the sale-contract seller. ^[1]
4. Rebuild the AED schedule from the printed instalment table, not from portal percentages alone. ^[4]
5. When plans appear, overlay contract drawings on any marketing size claim.
6. Hold Phase 3 apart from Phase 2, parent first-release stock and pure Estates listings. ^[4]
7. Ask which amenities and service-charge rules attach to this plot, not only the master brochure. ^[2]
