Dubai Properties awards AED 1.1 billion in contracts to advance Villanova community

Dubai Properties, a member of Dubai Holding Real Estate, has awarded contracts worth nearly AED 1.1 billion to Metac General Contracting Co. LLC for the construction of 850 townhouses at Villanova in Dubailand.

This covers phase 1 and phase 2 of La Tilia, comprising 500 three-bedroom and 350 four-bedroom homes. Phase 1 will deliver 410 units, with phase 2 adding a further 440 homes.

Since its launch, Villanova has delivered 3,834 homes, reinforcing its position as a well-established suburban address for mid-market and upper mid-market properties.

The expansion reflects sustained demand for integrated communities offering green space, connectivity and proximity to key road networks and social infrastructure.

"Through disciplined execution and trusted partnerships, we remain focused on maintaining construction progress and delivering La Tilia to the standards our customers expect," said Khalid Al Malik, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Real Estate.

La Tilia builds on Villanova’s Mediterranean-inspired architectural character and landscaped environment, incorporating pedestrian-friendly streets, parks, walking and cycling tracks, as well as integrated retail and community amenities within the master development.

Located in Dubailand with access to major arterial routes, Villanova is designed around contemporary family living, combining residential neighbourhoods with schools, retail and recreational facilities.
