Dubai's Greenwood by Nakheel is positioning itself as Dubai's greenest residential and investment destination .
With property prices in the city's most recently established residential hubs such as Dubai Hills Estate and Arabian Ranches reaching record highs, attention is beginning to shift toward emerging communities with untapped potential.
Over the past year, six-bedroom villa sales in Dubai Hills Estate have averaged AED34.8m ($9.5m) at AED2,663 ($725) per square foot.
Greenwood in Dubai
In Greenwood, a similar villa is priced at AED6.9m ($1.9m) with an average of AED1,333 ($363) per square foot, marking a 404 percent price increase and a gap of more than AED27.9m ($7.6m).
For three-bedroom townhouses, Dubai Hills Estate sales averaged AED5.8m ($1.6m) at AED1,833 ($499) per square foot, while Greenwood offered them at AED3.2m ($871,000) and AED1,164 ($317) per square foot, reflecting a 81 per cent price difference.
The substantial value gap positions Greenwood as a standout investment opportunity in the current market.
Beyond price accessibility, what sets Greenwood apart is the scale and ambition of developments underway. Greenwood, the largest green sustainable community, spans 3.95 million sq m and is poised to reshape the area's residential landscape.
Its first flagship project, Kensington Gardens by LEOS Developments, reflects the type of high-spec, design-led British housing now being delivered in the city's emerging districts.
Greenwood represents the next chapter of the emirate's urban expansion, which is one that aligns with evolving investor priorities, including sustainably developed, infrastructure-backed communities.
As demand shifts away from overcrowded and overpriced neighbourhoods, Greenwood stands out as a strategic investment play, where luxury, sustainability, and long-term return on investment (ROI) meet.
