Dubai: Dubai Holding Asset Management (DHAM) has broken ground on Lantana Hills, a new premium gated residential community situated in the heart of Dubai Science Park, Al Barsha South. The project, valued at AED680 million, sees the appointment of Group AMANA, the regional leader in design and build, as the main contractor.

According to Emirates News Agency, the groundbreaking ceremony witnessed the presence of notable figures including Malek Al Malek, Group Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Asset Management, and Richard Abboud, Chief Executive Officer of Group AMANA, along with other senior officials.

Lantana Hills will feature 390 private townhouses, offering 3- and 4-bedroom family homes designed to cater to the modern lifestyle. The handover of the project is anticipated in the second half of 2027. Group AMANA will utilize DuBox and DuPod’s advanced modular technologies, emphasizing off-site construction methods. This approach aims to accelerate delivery timelines, significantly reduce material waste by up to 30 percent, and enhance on-site safety by more than 70 percent compared to traditional construction methods, with approximately 85 percent of the construction occurring off-site.

The project has achieved LEED for Cities and Communities: Plan and Design – Silver Precertification, with full certification underway. This aligns with Dubai Holding’s dedication to sustainability. Strategically located within Dubai Science Park, Lantana Hills promises excellent connectivity to key locations such as Dubai Hills Mall, Mall of the Emirates, Dubai Mall, and Al Maktoum International Airport.
