Inspired by the word verde, meaning green, VERDAN1A reflects Object 1's commitment to building communities that go beyond function to build connection, vitality, and holistic well-being. The project's design is rooted in sustainability, offering a living environment that nurtures the body, mind, and soul. The launch coincides with major infrastructure upgrades in the area, including the upcoming Dubai Metro Blue Line, which will significantly improve connectivity for DLRC residents. From 2022 to 2025, average unit prices in DLRC have surged by 64%, achieving an average annual growth rate of 18%. Investors and experts identify DLRC as a key district for future urban expansion, thanks to its strong investment potential, competitive pricing, and attractive rental yields. VERDAN1A 1 offers 208 units, and VERDAN1A 2 adds another 108 units, with both phases featuring a variety of resort-style amenities.

The project's construction will fully comply with the Dubai Green Building Regulations and Specifications, which set mandatory standards for insulation and energy efficiency through regulated R-values for walls, roofs, and glazing systems. These measures align with the UAE Net Zero by 2050 strategic initiative and reflect the growing national emphasis on reducing emissions, enhancing liveability, and building climate-resilient infrastructure. 'The number of transactions in Dubai Land Residence Complex has grown nearly sixfold over three years. This growth signals rising buyer confidence and sustained market momentum,' said Tatiana Tonu, CEO at Object 1. 'The launch of VERDAN1A directly addresses this demand within the rapidly evolving Dubailand master district. The project is designed to promote sustainable urban living while contributing to the goals of the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan for inclusive growth and enhanced liveability.' Set for completion in Q3 2027, VERDAN1A reinforces Object 1's growing presence in Dubai's residential sector and aligns with the UAE's national vision for sustainable development. By integrating eco-conscious design, green construction practices, and a wellness-first approach, the project aims to contribute to a future where urban living and community well-being go hand in hand.

Dubai is looking a lot greener after this Dhs190 million makeover
While Dubai is best known for its skyscrapers and desert dunes, its green spaces are quickly becoming a standout feature. This is all thanks to the Dubai Municipality, who are placing an importance on the Green Dubai initiative – one that aims to make Dubai more green and beautiful in line with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan. The Dubai Municipality completed a series of landscaping and afforestation projects across major intersections and roadways in Dubai during the first half of the year. The entire project was valued at Dhs190 million. The green makeover spanned several locations including the intersection of Al Khail Road with Latifa bint Hamdan Street; the intersection of Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Street with Tripoli Street; Sheikh Rashid Street from the junction with Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Street to Al Mina Road; Sheikh Zayed Road from the 7th Interchange (entry point to Dubai from Abu Dhabi); and Al Khawaneej Street at the intersection with Al Amardi Street. Over 300,000 trees and seedlings were planted along with over 222,000 square metres of ground covers and flowers. It includes the incorporation of smart, sustainable irrigating systems with underground pumps. It is connected to remote-controlled networks, enabling real-time monitoring and water-use efficiency to ensure sustainability – a very important factor for the UAE. Dubai green project – Dubai Municipality Native trees were selected, including sidr, ghaf, and neem, alongside ornamental varieties including chorisia, washingtonia, royal poinciana, millingtonia, albizia, and bougainvillea.
