Aldar unveils ‘active living’ community Athlon in Dubai

Aldar Properties (Aldar) has unveiled Athlon, an innovative ‘active living’ concept designed to promote wellbeing and community engagement, in Dubai.

Athlon will offer residents a dynamic programme of activities curated by wellness experts and world-class amenities.

Developed in collaboration with Dubai Holding, Athlon represents the joint venture’s second residential project in Dubai, following the success of Haven by Aldar, launched in late 2023.

Haven is positioned as a community rooted in ‘nature and wellness’.

Jonathan Emery, CEO of Aldar Development, expressed confidence in Athlon’s potential to set a new standard for active living in the region.

“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,” he said.

Aldar Athlon: Focused on activity and wellbeing

Located adjacent to Global Village, Athlon boasts a lush and luxurious setting marked by interconnected green spaces, athletic zones, and vibrant parks.

Inspired by the Greek word for ‘place of contest,’ the development features a central park as its focal point, complemented by four additional themed parks – Adventure, Play, Wellness, and Valley – and seven clubhouses.

With more than 10 kilometres of tracks, trails, and loops, Athlon offers residents activities such as jogging, cycling, roller-skating, and functional training within the community.

Sustainable construction

The residences at Athlon comprise 1,492 units ranging from three- to six-bedroom townhouses and villas, designed to optimise natural light and space.

Athlon is developed with efficient and low-carbon design principles, supported by locally sourced materials and green construction practices.

Athlon has achieved LEED Platinum pre-certification and a 2-star rating from Fitwel.

Sales for the first phase of development will commence on May 7, with prices starting from Dhs2.8m.
