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.
About the building
Located in Saadiyat Island, currently under construction. Developer — Aldar Properties.
Specifications for Mamsha Gardens 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
Mamsha Gardens is a residential complex of several buildings in Saadiyat Island.
The developer is Aldar Properties.
Layouts, according to the sales-launch announcement — 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms.
The database currently holds 5 lots in this project, from 2 750 000 AED; 1 of them priced below the market, the deepest discount 4%.
An Aldar project on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi's cultural district: from 99 m² one-bedroom apartments at AED 3.1 million to 387 m² townhouses. 10% down payment, 65/35 plan.
Saadiyat Island as an address
Saadiyat is the capital's cultural district: world-class museums, beaches, hotels, a university campus. By market estimates, these are among the best beaches in the UAE.
The buyer profile here differs from Dubai's: a significant share of demand comes from residents buying to live in, not to resell. That makes the market slower, but steadier.
Mix and launch pricing
One-bedroom apartments at 99 m² — AED 3.1–3.6 million (from USD 844,000). Two-bedroom-plus-study at 195 m² — AED 5.6–7.9 million. Two-bedroom-plus-study with maid's room at 216 m² — AED 6.5–6.8 million. Three-bedroom-plus-study with maid's room at 262 m² — AED 8.5–10 million.
Townhouses are listed separately: 284 m² with two bedrooms and 387 m² with three; pricing wasn't announced at launch.
Project infrastructure: coworking spaces, a cinema, a lounge, concierge, a gym, adult and children's pools, a kids' club, a podium garden, and rooftop gardens on individual blocks.
Payment plan
65% during construction and 35% on handover, with a 10% down payment. A low entry payment paired with a moderate share due on handover is a balanced structure by market standards.
Unit mix, sizes, launch prices, infrastructure and payment plan — developer materials for the sales launches dated 11 November 2024 and 23 December 2024.
The final payment on this building falls in 2028 — 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.
1-bedroom, 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom, according to the sales-launch announcement. Which sizes are actually free right now depends on what is on the market; I will send the current list.
How much does an apartment in Mamsha Gardens cost?
The database currently holds 5 lots in this project, from 2 750 000 AED; 1 of them priced below the market, the deepest discount 4%. Prices move every day, so it is worth asking for the current list for this building.
Two branded launches on Saadiyat six months apart: Aldar’s Mandarin Oriental Residences (about 228 homes, designed by BIG, from AED 6.2m, Q3 2028) and Nord’s Henge Residences (166 homes, from AED 1.1m, 2028). Guggenheim Abu Dhabi opens on 11 December 2026.
Abu Dhabi’s cultural cluster is gaining an arts centre designed by Frank Gehry, standing alongside Louvre Abu Dhabi and the future Guggenheim. What museums do to property prices around them.
Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi is getting one of the region’s largest cultural centres — an opera, ballet and theatre complex designed by the architect behind the Guggenheim Bilbao.
Aldar brings the Baccarat brand to Abu Dhabi’s residential market: 77 residences in Saadiyat’s cultural district — two- and three-bedroom apartments, four-bedroom sky villas and two signature penthouses.
Two premium Aldar launches on Saadiyat: Nobu Residences (88 homes, November 2023, from about AED 7m) and The Source Terraces designed by BIG (June 2024, from about AED 3m). Both are sold out and due in 2027 — so the only way in now is a resale contract.
Three weekend escapes from Dubai: the east coast at Khor Fakkan and Fujairah, 1.5–2 hours by car and now reachable by Etihad Rail from Abu Dhabi; and Saadiyat, where the Louvre is joined by new museums and the Guggenheim opens on 11 December 2026. What each tells a property buyer.
The concluding part of the island’s master plan — 6.4 million square metres, the largest marina in Abu Dhabi, hotels and culture. What is significant is not the scheme but that an entire island is being completed.
Where this project stands today
I will tell you which layouts are available now, what entry really costs and what the people who live in or let the building think of it — no marketing language.
