Dubai: LEOS Developments, a renowned British-born real estate developer, has launched Kensington Gardens, the UAE’s first residential community, located within the Greenwood development by Nakheel. With a projected gross development value of $299.4 million (AED 1.1 billion) for its first phase, this project brings state-of-the-art British technology and craftsmanship to Dubai’s real estate landscape.
Kensington Gardens aims to redefine luxury living with cutting-edge designs, expansive layouts, and signature crystal chandeliers that create an inviting atmosphere. Positioned within Nakheel’s 3.95 million sqm green-focused Greenwood development, Kensington Gardens offers a stylish residential experience centered around serenity and sustainability. The project’s initial phase will feature 168 units, including three- to seven-bedroom townhouses and standalone villas.
The luxury townhouses start at $8,71,228 (AED 3.2 million), while the standalone villas start at $1.87 million (AED 6.9 million), featuring luxuries like private elevators, pools, and spacious interiors. The development presents meticulously crafted living spaces, with a focus on ample natural light and British-standard craftsmanship, designed to enhance well-being and leisure.
In addition to its architectural merit, Kensington Gardens provides advanced home technology with attributes such as smart systems for climate control, lighting, and security that can be managed via smartphone or voice commands. Sustainable elements include solar water heating, rainwater harvesting, and energy-efficient insulated building envelopes, sustaining the project’s eco-friendly focus. A hydroponic vertical garden will also offer year-round fresh produce.
Kensington Gardens’ community is seamlessly combined into the larger Greenwood project, which emphasizes wellness and active living. Residents will enjoy access to a 99,000 sqm central park, water lagoons, jogging and cycling tracks, outdoor gyms, and meditation parks. Greenwood also includes essential amenities, such as schools, supermarkets, and healthcare facilities, all within a freehold community setting.
Rui Liu, Founder and Chairman of LEOS Developments stated that, “Greenwood is set to become one of Dubai’s most iconic communities, perfectly aligned with the ambitious Dubai 2040 Vision. We are thrilled to launch the very first project within this groundbreaking development. With Kensington Gardens Phase 1, we’re establishing a new standard for urban transformation in Dubai.”
Situated just 16 minutes from Downtown Dubai, Kensington Gardens offers both a serene environment and connectivity, with straightforward access to major highways and Dubai’s new Blue Metro line. Completion of the development is expected by Q4 2027.
