Athlon offers 1,492 residential units, ranging from three- to four-bedroom townhouses, three- to five-bedroom villas, and four- to six-bedroom premium villas. All are meticulously designed to maximize natural light and enhance the sense of space and well-being. The residences surround the parks, creating a harmonious living environment that prioritizes active lifestyles.

In line with Aldar's commitment to sustainability, Athlon will be developed with an emphasis on efficient and low-carbon design principles, utilizing locally sourced and low-carbon materials, as well as adopting responsible and green construction practices. The development has achieved LEED Platinum pre-certification and a 2-star rating from Fitwel, the world's leading certification system for building health, further enhancing its social value by promoting health, wellbeing, and active lifestyles.
