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.
The developer's last quote in our materials is dated 14 January 2026, which is more than 6 months old, so the sums are not shown here. I will send the current price list and availability over WhatsApp.
Figures come from the developer's own materials sent to brokers, dated 14 January 2026. The commentary behind them is written up in the Russian version of this page.
A residential building in Saadiyat Island. Developer — Aldar Properties.
Specifications for The Row 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.
The Row is a residential building in Saadiyat Island, handover is due Q1 2030.
The developer is Aldar Properties.
Layouts, according to the sales-launch announcement — 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms.
The database currently holds 3 lots in this project, from 3 500 000 AED; 3 of them priced below the market, the deepest discount 7%.
An Aldar waterfront residence within walking distance of the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the future Guggenheim and the Zayed National Museum: one to three bedrooms, launch pricing from AED 3.7 million, handover in Q1 2030.
The main feature of this project isn't the architecture — it's the distance to the neighbours. The Row sits in Saadiyat's cultural district, within walking distance of the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the Guggenheim museum under construction, the teamLab Phenomena venue, and the Zayed National Museum.
This concentration of world-class museums in a single area exists nowhere else in the region, and that is the source of the location's stability: land set aside for a cultural cluster will not be built up with housing, so the view and density around it are predictable decades out.
The practical implication for a landlord: the tenant pool here differs from the island's resort-facing side. These are employees of cultural institutions, academics, families with a long time horizon — a tenant who renews rather than moving out after a year.
Launch pricing: a one-bedroom at 89 m² — from AED 3.7 million; a two-bedroom at 139 m² — from AED 5.8 million; a two-bedroom with maid's room at 208 m² — from AED 7.8 million; the same layout with a study at 230 m² — from AED 8.5 million; a three-bedroom with maid's room and study at 260 m² — from AED 11.5 million; an enlarged three-bedroom at 446 m² — from AED 16 million.
Note the jump in size: the difference between the standard and the enlarged three-bedroom is close to two hundred square metres. These are two different products under one label, and comparing them directly on price per square foot doesn't make sense.
Payment plan 5/65/35: just 5% at booking, most of the balance during construction, 35% on handover.
The Row comprises seven buildings and 717 residences. The project was announced in November 2025.
There are only 14 three-bedroom apartments, each with a unique layout — the scarcest format in the scheme. That is why the enlarged three-bedroom stands apart on the price list: there are literally only a handful of them.
Unit mix, sizes, launch prices, payment plan and delivery date — developer materials for the sales launch dated 14 January 2026. The cultural cluster's composition — public materials on Saadiyat Island. Number of buildings, residences and three-bedroom units — project announcement, November 2025.
The final payment on this building falls in 2030 — 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.

The sales-launch announcement says Q1 2030. The date in the contract for a particular unit can differ — I check it before the deal.
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.
The database currently holds 3 lots in this project, from 3 500 000 AED; 3 of them priced below the market, the deepest discount 7%. Prices in the base are live and update every day; ask for the current list for the building before deciding.
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.
