Project factsheet
Photos and renders of the building and grounds — not of this particular unit.
Layouts and the handover date come from the sales-launch announcement; the date of that announcement is shown next to the prices. It is what the developer claimed at launch, not a registry record — off-plan, phasing and dates get revised. I will send the current ones over WhatsApp.
Floor plans
Floor plans from the developer's own materials. The areas and the unit split on them were correct when the drawing was issued — check them against the plan attached to the contract before the deal.
About the building
Located in Fahid Island, currently under construction.
Specifications for Fahid Beach Residences as published by the developer — the project is under construction, so there is no Land Department record yet. They describe the whole building, not the individual unit.
About the project
Fahid Beach Residences is a residential complex of several buildings in Fahid Island, handover is due Q1 2029.
Layouts, according to the sales-launch announcement — 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 bedrooms.
The database currently holds 6 lots in this project, from 2 937 600 AED; 5 of them priced below the market, the deepest discount 20%.
The first phase of a new island between Yas and Saadiyat in Abu Dhabi: 7.5 acres of open space per thousand residents, a two-kilometre promenade and unrivalled first-line beachfront.
What Fahid Island is
A large-scale project split into three districts; Fahid Beach Residences is the first to reach the market. Its location is strategic: between two already established islands of the capital.
Stated island infrastructure: an international school, a clinic, a mall, a two-kilometre promenade with cafés and shaded walkways, a park, 15 km of connected footpaths and 7.5 acres of open space per thousand residents.
Formats and prices, first phase
One-bedroom, 87 m² — from AED 3.5 million. Two-bedroom with maid's room and study, averaging 173 m² — from AED 6.3 million. Two-bedroom duplex, about 152 m² — from AED 6.6 million. Three-bedroom with maid's room, about 235 m² — from AED 9.2 million. Four-bedroom, about 275 m² — from AED 10.5 million.
Payment plan 65/35 with a 10% first instalment, handover Q1 2029.
Second phase
The next release came out with noticeably higher prices: one-bedroom from 90 m² — from AED 3.6 million, two-bedroom from 179 m² — from AED 6.5 million, three-bedroom from 245 m² — from AED 9.1 million, four-bedroom from 303 m² — from AED 11 million.
The second phase's schedule is softer: 10% on booking, 55% during construction, 35% at completion. Stated amenities include infinity pools, a spa with sauna and steam rooms, a sea-view lounge, a cinema, coworking and membership in a private beach club.
Who is building it and what the island is
Fahid Island is an Aldar development; sales officially opened in early June 2025. The whole project was valued at around USD 10.8 billion (over AED 40 billion). The island's residential architecture comes from Kengo Kuma and Koichi Takada, London-based ACME and Dubai-based NAGA Architects.
The island covers about 2.7 million m² with more than 6,000 homes, 4.6 km of beach on one side and a mangrove waterfront on the other, roughly 30% given over to parks and gardens, and a fully walkable layout. It is billed as the world's first Fitwel-certified island, with LEED and Estidama 3 Pearl also cited.
Fahid Beach Residences is the first release: seven mid-rise buildings of 65 apartments each, around 455 homes in total.
Island infrastructure, sizes, prices and payment plans for both phases come from launch materials, 30 May 2025 and 21 August 2025. Developer, project value, architects, island parameters and first-phase make-up — Aldar launch announcement, June 2025.
A mortgage covers the final instalment
The final payment on this building falls in 2029 — under off-plan plans that is 40–60% of the price in one go. A UAE bank closes it: the flat becomes the security, and nothing is added on top of what the developer has already been paid.
- Up to 80% of the appraised value, no extra down payment
- 3.99% fixed for three years, up to 25 years in term
- 6–12 months before the keys — the bank wants six months of income history
Already been invoiced, or missed the date? That is not a dead end either — write and we will look at what the developer will accept.
