Renders: Emaar Properties, via broker launch data (GenieMap), 24 Oct 2026.
What is known on 24 October 2026: DLD has approved Alva as three projects with 528 Emaar townhouses, and broker launch data puts the expected start of sales on 31 October.
Alva at The Valley is Emaar's next townhouse collection in The Valley, its master community on the Dubai–Al Ain Road. The Dubai Land Department register lists it as three projects approved on 12 February 2026: The Valley – Alva (#4373, 196 townhouses), Alva 2 (#4374, 176) and Alva 3 (#4375, 156). Together that is 528 ground-plus-one townhouses in the DLD area Al Yufrah 1; all three are active, each has its own escrow account, and completion is filed for 31 January – 31 March 2030. Broker launch data of 24 October 2026 puts the expected start of sales on 31 October 2026, with a launch price list from $1.19M (AED 4.38M) for a 3-bedroom (2,788 sq ft) and $1.38M (AED 5.09M) for a 4-bedroom (3,081 sq ft), and an expression of interest (EOI) of $27K (AED 100K) or $40K (AED 150K). The same data says the final launch date will be announced later; it has no payment plan and no developer handover date yet.

Source: DLD projects register, snapshot 24 Oct 2026 (Al Yufrah 1, developer Emaar Development P.J.S.C.). “Built” is the progress recorded at DLD's latest inspection: Avelia 5 Jun 2026, Ovelle 10 Jun 2026, Alva 24 Aug 2026. The snapshot does not list every Valley phase.
Alva is part of The Valley, Emaar's master community along the Dubai–Al Ain Road. Broker launch data describes it as suburban, with routes towards Downtown Dubai and Business Bay and within reach of Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC). The community is built around a Town Centre with cafés and shops, parks and walking trails, and Golden Beach — a landscaped leisure area with sand and water features — plus sports facilities, a skate park and dog parks.
The DLD filings place Alva in the register area Al Yufrah 1, the same register area as earlier phases such as Elora, Farm Gardens and Lillia; the broker launch data says the exact cluster location will be announced later. Within driving distance are Arabian Ranches Golf Club, Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club, The Ranches Souk, The Sevens Stadium and Dubai Hills Mall.

We will message you when Emaar opens Alva and send the full price list, floor plans and payment plan as soon as they are released.
Emaar has not published an official date. Broker launch data of 24 October 2026 lists 31 October 2026 as the expected start of sales, but the same data says the final launch date will be announced later, so treat it as provisional. If you see 31 March 2026 quoted as a launch date, that is the construction start filed with DLD for #4373, not a sales date. All three Alva filings were approved by DLD on 12 February 2026, with escrow accounts opened.
Per the launch price list in broker data of 24 October 2026: 3-bedroom from $1.19M (AED 4.38M) for 2,788 sq ft, about AED 1,571 per sq ft. 4-bedroom from $1.38M (AED 5.09M) for 3,081 sq ft, about AED 1,652 per sq ft. Prices can change at launch.
No. Elva at The Valley is a separate Emaar townhouse collection that emaar.com lists from $785K (AED 2.89M), checked 24 October 2026. Alva is filed with DLD as The Valley – Alva, Alva 2 and Alva 3 (#4373–4375), and its launch price list starts at $1.19M (AED 4.38M) for a 3-bedroom.
It is not in the broker launch data of 24 October 2026, and Emaar has not published one on emaar.com (checked 24 October 2026). Portal listings already quote different plans; until Emaar's official sales offer is out, treat any plan as unconfirmed. We will send the official plan as soon as Emaar releases it.
Per broker launch data: $27K (AED 100K) for a 3-bedroom and $40K (AED 150K) for a 4-bedroom. An expression of interest places you in the allocation queue before sales open; ask for the refund terms in writing before you pay.
The completion dates filed with DLD are 31 March 2030 for Alva (#4373), 28 February 2030 for Alva 2 (#4374) and 31 January 2030 for Alva 3 (#4375). The broker launch data has no developer target date yet. Filed dates can move, so check the register before each payment.
