Renowned as a real estate developer, investor, and manager, Aldar Properties ('Aldar') has revealed Athlon, an innovative concept promoting 'active living' in Dubai. It symbolises the city's first and only residential development, designed to inspire daily physical activity among its residents. Athlon, meticulously crafted with the principles of active living in mind, boasts world-class amenities and a dynamic program of activities curated exclusively by wellness experts. This initiative aims to redefine the concept of fitness-oriented living, with a focus on ensuring long-term well-being and fostering a strong sense of community among its inhabitants.

Aldar Properties has partnered with Dubai Holding, a globally diversified investment company with interests spanning 31 countries, to bring Athlon to life. This marks the joint venture's second groundbreaking residential project in Dubai, following the successful launch of Haven by Aldar in late 2023. Jonathan Emery, the Chief Executive Officer of Aldar Development, expresses confidence in Athlon's potential, stating that it represents a significant milestone in their expansion strategy in Dubai. He believes that Athlon's innovative approach to active living will resonate with a diverse range of investors and homeowners, setting a new standard for residential living in the region.

Situated in a highly sought-after location adjacent to Global Village, Athlon offers a lush and luxurious environment characterised by the seamless integration of interactive green spaces. These spaces include athletic areas, green walkways, and vibrant parks, all designed to encourage physical activity. Additionally, Athlon features tailored activities suitable for people of all ages and interests. At the heart of the community lies a captivating central park, surrounded by four additional parks-Adventure, Play, Wellness, and Valley. Seven strategically distributed clubhouses throughout the development provide dedicated zones for fitness and socialising.

Athlon offers over 10 kilometres of tracks, trails, and loops, catering to activities such as jogging, cycling, roller skating, and functional training. The development's focus on wellness extends beyond physical activities to encompass emotional and psychological well-being. Athlon offers a range of experiences designed to promote movement, energy, clarity, flow, and balance. State-of-the-art amenities such as a vibrant cafe, rejuvenating massage rooms, a luxurious jacuzzi, a soothing sauna, a serene yoga room, and an imaginative kids' playroom further enhance the well-being of residents.

Athlon comprises 1,492 thoughtfully designed units, including townhouses and standard and premium villas. These residences optimise natural light and incorporate colours and materials that enhance a sense of space and well-being. In line with Aldar's commitment to sustainability, Athlon will focus on eco-efficient and low-carbon design principles during development. The development has achieved LEED Platinum pre-certification and a 2-Star rating from Fitwel, underscoring its commitment to promoting health, well-being, and active lifestyles. Sales for the first phase of Athlon will commence on May 7th, with prices starting at AED 2.8 million.

Active living seamlessly integrates physical activity into daily routines, such as walking or cycling for transportation, without relying on formal, structured exercises. Collaborative efforts among urban planners, architects, and health professionals shape environments to promote activity. Communities embracing active living reap health benefits, economic gains, and enhanced quality of life.
