Investment Highlights:

1. Developer Strength: Rise by Athlon is brought to life by Aldar Properties, one of the UAE’s largest and most acclaimed real estate developers. Established in 2004, Aldar has successfully delivered landmark integrated communities, including Yas Island, Saadiyat Island, and Al Raha Beach, with a portfolio exceeding AED 42 billion. Aldar’s entry into Dubailand with a wellness-led masterplan signals long-term confidence in the district.
2. Master-Planned Scale: Rise by Athlon comprises 1,200+ apartments across 8 themed buildings—5 towers and 3 mid-rise residences—offering diverse choices for investors and homeowners. The community spans a large area with interwoven fitness infrastructure, themed buildings, and outdoor amenities designed to support long-term residential demand and resale liquidity.
   
3. Location Advantage: Dubailand marks one of Dubai’s fastest-growing residential corridors, offering accessibility without central congestion. Situated at the junction of Emirates Road (E611) and Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street (D54), Rise by Athlon connects to Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, and Dubai Marina within 25–30 minutes. Key nearby attractions include Global Village (10 minutes), IMG Worlds of Adventure (15 minutes), and Jumeirah Beach (30 minutes).
4. Rental Yield Potential: Wellness-centric communities in Dubailand typically generate rental yields in the 6–7% range, supported by demand from professionals and families seeking lifestyle-driven housing. Apartments within active living communities tend to outperform traditional suburban developments due to differentiated amenities and limited competition.
5. Capital Appreciation: Early-phase and off-plan buyers benefit from phased launches and construction-linked pricing. As infrastructure develops and the community becomes fully operational, completed phases are expected to see value appreciation supported by limited supply of wellness-themed, fully integrated communities in Dubai.
6. Demand Drivers: Important demand drivers encompass direct access to the 86 km Al Qudra Cycling Track, extensive running and cycling loops within the community, LEED Platinum Pre-certification, Fitwel Certification, and smart home systems with air quality monitoring. These features appeal to a growing segment of lifestyle-driven end users and international investors.
7. Freehold Ownership: Rise by Athlon is a freehold community, enabling full ownership for international buyers. Properties may qualify for UAE residency visas, including the 10-year Golden Visa for qualifying investments, expanding the buyer pool and enhancing long-term liquidity.
