Saadiyat Island
Photos and renders of the building and grounds — not of this particular unit.
Layouts and the handover date come from the developer's brochure in our archive. Prices and payment plans from the same source are deliberately not published: they are dated to when the brochure was issued and do not match today's prices. I will send the current ones over WhatsApp.
A residential building in Saadiyat Island, currently under construction.
Specifications for Sensi per Propsearch and the Dubai Land Department. They describe the whole building, not the individual unit.
Sensi is a residential building in Saadiyat Island, handover is due Q2 2029.
The database currently holds 1 lot in this project, from 2 248 217 AED; 1 of them priced below the market, the deepest discount 25%.
A glass-fronted building and four-storey townhouses on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, next to the New York University campus. Two-bedroom units from 102 square metres start at USD 792,000, paid monthly as a percentage.
Apartments: two-bedroom from 102 m² — from USD 792,000, three-bedroom from 126 m² — from USD 1.042 million. Four-bedroom townhouses of 393 m² — from USD 3.502 million.
Price per metre: around USD 7,800 for the two-bedroom, USD 8,300 for the three-bedroom, and USD 8,900 for the townhouse. The premium rises with the format here — a separate entrance, a private lift and a rooftop terrace are paid for on top.
There are no one-bedroom units in the project at all. That's a deliberate choice for this segment: the building is built for families and long-term tenancy, not for an investor with a minimum-size cheque.
Saadiyat is considered one of the emirate's most sought-after addresses among investors. Nearby: the NYU Abu Dhabi campus, a yacht marina, green spaces and restaurants; the water is ten minutes away.
The university campus next door means steady rental demand from faculty and visiting researchers, and typically for long stays. For a format with no one-bedrooms, that's a fitting match: tenants here rent as families.
The shared spaces are straightforward: a pool, a hall, work spaces, a children's play area and a retail strip with cafés. The townhouses add privacy — their own plot with an outdoor lounge, a private lift and a usable rooftop. Appliances are included in the price.
Materials from the selling side at launch: sizes, prices, specification and payment plan. The price per metre by format is our own calculation.
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.
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.
Ask on WhatsAppThe developer's brochure says Q2 2029. The date in the contract for a particular unit can differ — I check it before the deal.

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.
