Construction milestones recorded in public sources: in December 2017 a Dh1.025 billion contract was awarded to Arabtec Holding for the construction of the Amaranta and La Quinta phases of Villanova, with a contract period of 28 months and an expected delivery around mid‑2020. The third phase of Amaranta — a package of approximately 300 three‑ and four‑bedroom townhouses — commenced construction in the fourth quarter of 2018 with an anticipated completion toward the fourth quarter of 2020. Amaranta Villanova Phase 4, featuring three‑ and four‑bedroom townhouses in a Mediterranean style, was launched in October 2018.
Amaranta 1 is aimed at buyers and residents seeking family‑oriented housing within a gated, low‑rise suburban environment. The mix of three‑ and four‑bedroom villas together with smaller cluster homes provides options for families of different sizes, multi‑generation households (given maid’s rooms in many layouts) and occupants prioritising private gardens and shaded garages.
The combination of on‑site recreational spaces and proximity to schools makes the location suitable for families with children; two nearby schools named in local listings are GEMS FirstPoint School (approx. 2.3 km) and The Aquila School (approx. 2.8 km). The community is also relevant for residents who commute by car to central Dubai or to business districts given the direct road links to Al Ain Road, Emirates Road and Academic City Road.
