Days shaped by sunrise, not screen-time.
The Valley is a LEED-certified masterplan with more than a quarter of its land given to parks and public realm, and 60+ amenities already open.
Twenty-two community centres, 14 km of jogging tracks, 42 km of cycling tracks and central parks the size of 84 football pitches sit between the neighbourhoods. Schools, a nursery, a hospital and retail are open today, so daily life does not wait for a later phase.
Alva sits in the community’s newest chapter, a third district of 1,326 homes across 8 clusters on 1.32 million m², planned for 5,808 residents, with 27% of the land kept as open space, 441,178 m² of mixed-use floor area and a 350,000 m² park at its centre.

The Alva townhouses, and the community they sit in.
Why Alva
A larger land holding at a lower land basis, inside a masterplan that is already delivered.
The home and the land
- The largest built-up area in the three-bed segment, and a four-bed plot 51% above the peer median.
- Land acquired at AED 1,519 per sq ft, 22% below the competitive set, so buyers get more land without paying a premium land basis.
- Land content is the durable component of residential value.
- Plot depth that supports a private pool and landscaping.
- A new typology inside a delivered masterplan: large-format townhouses in a community already handed over and occupied, with completed infrastructure, working amenities and an established secondary market.
- First-mover position on a new product category, without the placemaking and delivery risk of launches in undeveloped districts.
- Structured for the end user and defensible on exit: suited to long-hold family occupation, with Emaar’s handover record and The Valley’s transaction depth behind resale from day one.
The community
- Emaar does not sell plans; it hands over places. The Valley is open, planted and lived in.
- Designed as a whole community from the first day rather than assembled around the homes that sold fastest.
- Around 30% of the community given over to parks and public realm; LEED for Cities and Communities, Silver certified.
- More than 22 community centres, sports areas in every district, and pocket parks and central parks within walking distance of every home.
- Golden Beach, a vast swimmable beach for residents; Kids’ Dale play zones and playgrounds throughout; FG wellness centres woven through the community.
- The Valley Retail for dining and shopping, a children’s nursery and two schools planned within the community, and cultural and social spaces designed into the public realm.
- AED 1,519per sq ft of plot for the four-bed, 22% below the competitive median of AED 1,938
- 3,620sq ftfour-bed plot, 51% above the median of 2,400 sq ft

Perfectly positioned
The Valley sits on the Dubai–Al Ain Road, with exceptional connectivity via Jebel Ali Lahbab Road, which starts at the Sheikh Zayed Road interchange and extends to Emirates Road.
That corridor links Jebel Ali Industrial Area, JAFZA, Dubai South and DIP, and ends at the Expo 2020 site, which is why the district keeps developing around it.

Questions, answered
The things buyers ask first about Alva. For anything else, an advisor is a message away.
What is Alva?
Alva is Emaar’s newest cluster in The Valley: large-format 3 and 4-bedroom townhouses in two façade styles, Type A and Type B, inside the community’s third district of 1,326 homes and 8 clusters. The wider masterplan is already handed over and lived in, with 60+ amenities open.
How big are the homes, and what do they cost?
Three-bedroom townhouses have a built-up area of about 2,788 sq ft on plots of 2,099 to 2,283 sq ft, from AED 4.3M. Four-bedroom townhouses have about 3,081 sq ft on plots of 3,191 to 5,207 sq ft, from AED 5M. Every home has a private garden, a terrace and covered parking for two cars.
How does the payment plan work?
It is an 80/20 plan spread across the build: 10% to book, 20% of the price in each construction year, and the final 20% on completion. The developer’s schedule runs from 2026 to 2030 in equal 20% steps; how each year’s 20% splits into instalments varies by plan, and terms and conditions apply.
What schools and healthcare are there?
Schools, a nursery, a hospital and retail are already open inside The Valley, and a children’s nursery and two schools are planned within the community. Dubai International Airport is about 25 minutes away and Downtown Dubai about 25 minutes.
