Saadiyat Island · Aldar Properties
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.
A residential building in Saadiyat Island, currently under construction. Developer — Aldar Properties.
Specifications for Manarat Saadiyat 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.
Manarat Saadiyat Residences is a residential building in Saadiyat Island.
The developer is Aldar Properties.
Layouts, according to the sales-launch announcement — studios and 1 bedroom.
The database has nothing for this project at the moment: lots come and go here, and it refreshes nightly.
Another Aldar address in the cultural district of Saadiyat Island: one-bedroom apartments from AED 2.87 million with a 10% down payment. Little was disclosed at launch, and that's worth factoring in.
The project sits in Saadiyat Island's cultural district, near Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Highway. The developer is Abu Dhabi's state-backed developer, responsible for a significant share of construction in the capital.
What was disclosed at launch: one-bedroom apartments from AED 2.87 million (around USD 781,000). A studio from AED 1.4 million was also mentioned, but that figure was unconfirmed as of publication.
A standard term across the developer's launches from that period: a 10% down payment.
Saadiyat remains an address where demand is driven mostly by end users. That shows up in how price behaves: it rises more slowly than in Dubai, but also corrects less often.
Rental yields in the capital run lower than Dubai's, but leases are longer and tenant turnover is lower — the profile of the asset is closer to capital preservation than to cash flow.
Location, one-bedroom launch price and the down-payment term — developer materials for the launch announcements dated 23 December 2024. The studio price in the same materials is flagged as unconfirmed.
Lots for this project come and go, and the stock is topped up nightly. Message me — I will look through the closed bases and find the closest alternatives in Saadiyat Island.

What has been written about the building, its developer and Saadiyat Island
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.
I will send the available layouts, the real entry price and what owners and tenants actually say about the building — without the brochure language.
